I was just thinking the same thing regarding my Suburban

That's a Slee Offroad Bumper for the 80 or 100 series. It is a ladder on a swingout or a modular mounting solution. I have a shovel and Maxtrax mounted to mine.

Vector. Allegis sells them. If you want a pair I may have an extra set that I can sell you.
That said, they are super finicky to install and you better know what you are doing. In my opinion they are not needed for your set up if you are using the heavy duty lock in lockout slides. Here's a picture of the jig you will need to make to install them properly.

Fireball,
Thanks for the quick response! I like the look and the fact that they are a compression latch, maybe I'll just stick with something simpler.
They are sharp though, Very nice job you did.

Tried sending you a PM seems your a little popular lol. But loving this set up I was hoping you had some more pictures of the building process. I'd like to see if I can make something similiar for the back of the Tacoma now that I have a proper shell. Also still have those pictures

I hardly post in any threads but I would like to share what I have built over the 2 days im off work. I would also like to say thank you to all that have shared their projects for me to have some ideas on a drawer system for my FJ. Also included a picture of the fly fishing pole storage I bolted with clamps on the stock roof rack and mounts for a shovel in the back. This system will work for a weekend camp and fishing locally. Will add maybe a fridge/freezer later on for a future month expedition down in the mainland.

I like your window flyfishing evolution sticker. Got to get me one of those. Nice storage too, of course. :sombrero:

Finally got step 1 complete, 2010 Xterra
Step 1 is finally complete. The pictures show the method it is securely attached, 6 holes drilled into the side of the factory tracks, and provides access to the underfloor storage. It took me some time, but is very simply made and goes from the very back of the seats to the door. I only had 10 minutes to load it with what I could toss in. The underfloor storage fit a full change of clothes, towel, random small items, boots and a raincoat. As you can see the left side fits a flat plastic container and the right will hold all of my tools when they are moved into a set of bags from their current toolbox.
Moving forward in the short term, I'm going to cover the top with a rubber mat and find a method to tie down items on the sides since I left the sides open for now. A future project will make a platform and storage area that covers the passenger side rear seat area when it is folded down or removed. That extension will provide enough length for me to sleep with my head on the front seat folded flat.
This is a great thread!

Still in progress but is anything ever finished?
The table works inside the van as well and stores under the bed. Will probably steal one of the locking slides to go on another drawer next to it. That way I can just buy the regular slides and pair one with one. I'm making the drawers to fit storage containers so I can pull them out to picnic tables at campsites as well.
There are hatches for access to under the bed on the sides as well.
The slides are pretty sturdy.
