Post up your drawer/storage system

I needed a storage system/ sleeping platform for a trip I am taking in a few weeks, so I threw this puppy together. The name of the game was simplicity and functionality.

The platform was built to house these three Plano storage containers:



Here is a side shot showing the front of the platform that is on a hinge. It also has the sleeping extension in place.



with the sleeping extension removed:



Travel mode:



Hinge mode activated:



The hinge really makes getting my cooler, and all of the other gear out really trouble free. I'm a fan so far.

I used flush picture hanging hardware and some L brackets that slide into them. Not sure exactly what they are called but picked them up at the local hardware store.

Thank you all for your ideas and inspiration and tips... Here is my first drawer system.. I say first because I plan to build something better in the future :) My Snug Top Rebel has been ordered, hopefully it will be on this week!

I laser engraved the end of the drawers with an aztec pattern and laser cut the words which were painted black and attached to the drawers with wood glue.

There are 4 pull up compartments on the side that I attached with piano hinges.

Some lessons I learned:
1) Shop around for wood... I found some really nicely finished 3/4" plywood at Home Depot on sale for about $3 more than the construction grade stuff I bought at Lowes
2) For the auto carpet, I used contact cement. Really great stuff but I ended up going back to the hardware store twice to buy more... Get at least 4 or 5 bottles for the entire bed

Let me know if anybody has any questions! Enjoy!

Rebuilding my bed set-up. Had the Jobox drawer at the end of the bed towards the tailgate. Recently acquired a bed slide for a $100 and relocated the drawer to the top of the bed slide. Going over ideas on how I want to set-up the rest of the storage/drawers. I plan on building some storage to the sides of the bed slide.
