This is exactly what I want to build for my 3rd gen 4Runner! Can you tell me who makes these lockable latches?

SouthTXplorer-that is about the slimmest drawer I've ever seen. Where did you get them? How deep into the truck do they go?

you can find them online... JOBOX 1402980 2-Drawer Long Floor Heavy-Duty Aluminum Drawer Storage - (24"W x 6"H x 50"L)
I like em, they could use some sound dampening tho, so i threw some cardboard under them to try to level it out (there are plastic moldings that the rear seats latch onto)

Here's my storage setup so far in my 80 series. I had a lot of inspiration from all the awesome builds on here.
I've recently removed the back seats (second row) and am working on a storage platform and fridge/cooler slide in place of the seats that still allows me to have a usable sleeping platform.

Thanks! It's all 3/4 plywood glued and pocket screwed. The overall box is 12" high. The drawers worked out to be about 8.5 high x 17 x 36 which happened to be JUST high enough to fit the plano tackle boxes I use for storage of various hardware/spare parts/electrical stuff.

Thanks a lot! It's worked out well for me so far. It gets the bulk of my stuff out of the way yet still easily accessible. I'm itching for more storage though, so another "kitchen" drawer on top for food may be in order. Something that I could take in and out depending on the configuration I want for the trip. I have a roof tent but it'd still be nice to be able to sleep in the truck on short trips and when I don't feel like lugging the tent along.

Here's the sleeping platform/storage I made for my e350. I know it's very simple compared to everything you guys have been posting, but I use the van for a lot of other things, so I tried to come up with a quick release system as easy as the stock benches. For that reason, I ended up using the legs from a stock bench, and just bolted on some 4x4 posts to get the desired height. It's tall enough to store 18 gallon Rubbermaid containers, and just fists my large ice chest. I made it tri-fold into the middle, so that it can be removed through the rear doors. I also put hinges on most of the support legs to help with removing the bench, and make it possible to open the sections of the platform from inside the car if needed. Still working on the foam mattress so I'll post update pics later. Thanks for all the inspiration!

We're redoing ours. Here's a video of the process.

Defender Cargo Slider
I'm in the process of designing a cargo slider for the Defender 90/110. I plan on using heavy duty Accuride locking sliders with full extension. Here are some screenshots of the first round of CAD. If any other Defender owners are interested I may end up having a few extras fabricated.
