Hey guys,
I have been building a rear kitchen/drawer organizer for my jeep the last couple months and I did it primarily on a really tight budget, so I had to get creative with how I spent my money even though I want the same function and design as the really great named brand systems. I think for a lot of people, keeping drawers organized is a real dilemma and I often see great reviews on the Pelican Trekpak. It seems like a great product but I recognized the main ingredient in the system as being very similar to Coroplast (which you can get at any commercial construction suppler like Whitecap). I work for a large construction company and we happen to have pallets of a similar but sturdier product called Skudo. So I took a sheet home and cut some up on the table saw. Also my DIY version of the Trekpak pins I used drip line stakes that you can get from any HomeDepot or Lowes. Only difference I can really see on the pins is that mine don't have little cloth flags on them to pull them out but once you put it all together A. its still easy to reconfigure B. not something that needs to be changed around all that much. Just thought I would share what worked for me and my budget, don't want to take anything away from Trekpak and what looks like a fantastic product.
Thank you.
