Post up your drawer/storage system

[DarthBeaver]

So this is the beginning of my "drawer system". It is a removable flooring setup to allow drawers/fridge/etc to be "bolted on". I wanted a stable base to build off of and this was what I came up with. I removed the 1.5 person seat to make room for the 86qt fridge/freezer.

Seems to be very steady and with the removal of 10 or so screws you can get to the frame and undo the turnbuckles thereby removing the flooring....

Basic frame made from 1x1"


Cable and turnbuckle attachment point in the rear




Cable and turnbuckle attachment point in the middle






Finished flooring using baltic birch pre-finished plywood


Behind the passenger seat


table legs for support under the front of the flooring.

My planned set up...

This is my plan to keep it simple and get some form of organization to my truck bed. I'm planning on having a cap with wind-doors so I'll be able to get to everything on the sides. The lids to the area where the paddles go and where the food & other storage area will have loops on top so I can bungee more stuff down and kept neat.

Not exactly a "drawer", it's a surplus medical cabinet on a 100% drawer slide. Three shelves keep everything nice and accessible and the ends come off and are tables.

I got it at an Army Surplus store in Apple Valley, CA. I made the slide myself.

Whoa that is really great. The integrated table is blowing my mind. Hopefully you don't want to drive anywhere while the table is deployed!

That's not a bad idea..

drawer storage

I have one of these medical boxes for sale. Shipping would be expensive as it is heavy.

I will have to check if it is the multi-drawer or the shelf unit

Or worse, both tables deployed (each end is a separate table). I can get it all back together in 2-3 minutes. They just fold up and the ratchet straps end up holding them in place fairly well, with the seals actually helping a bit.

Drawer within a drawer. Clever! I love the amount of surface space that provided. Cute model too

And still no beaver jokes (where's Leslie Nielsen when you need him?)...

Impressive effort indeed.
