Drifta Drawer Style Build (Toyota Prado 120/ Lexus GX470)

These came out awesome. I wish you were on the "right" coast. I'd contract a set for me! :wings:

What did you end up using for your table legs?

I cannot believe how well these turned out!

Having built some drawers in the past, I am very jealous.

Take me under your wing and show me your ways.

Weighed them just before installing them in the truck. They weigh 90lbs. Not bad.

When I figure it out, you will be the first to know. I have a few ideas brewing.

I'd thought I posted it already, take a look at the IKEA catalog. They have a lot of screw-in table legs and the mounting hardware, for their mix-and-match desk setups. Or they might give you some ideas. Should be easy to use some form of dowel rod, or even make your own. Look at the awning poles I fashioned from EMT conduit in my awning topic, linked in my sig.


The staining on the ply looks good, you going to put a clear poly coat on it?

Cheers thanks for the tips on Ikea.

Thanks man. I finished the wings and Sleeping platform as well. Tested on a trip down to metaltech 4x4. So comfy!

The and more I use these drawers the better they are sliding. I was really happy with how they slid in the beginning, but now it's as if they float. It's amazing. Also no rattling or banging around. They are silent back there even on rough terrain. I love them.

I also built an optional extension that clips to the rear of the drawers to make a sleeping platform. I will post photos soon!

I also bought some cheap card table for $15 on craigslist and hacked the legs off. They fold up and work perfectly for my slide out table. I will also post photos of that soon too!

Can't wait to see it, great build and thank you for the detailed instructions!
