Post up your drawer/storage system

[Trailfrog]

I finally got my drawers built for my storage platform. I had the fridge shelf done just painted the front to match the new drawers I built. When I built the platform I decided to just use a tub instead of drawers but after trying to find stuff in the tub, I decided drawers would allow me to organize much better and be easier to get to what I needed.

Wow, some nice stuff in this thread! I did a road trip in 1998 in my big Dodge with a cap, just threw a mattress (and a dog bed) in the back, a box for clothes, and bought a couple 2-gal water jugs (the kind with a spigot) at the grocery store which I refilled along the way until one wore right out and soaked my bed. Had a cooler in the back seat of the cab, and a bag of dog food. Spent two months in that set-up driving to Alaska, with nary a hot meal.

My second expedition I had a 2001 F250 superduty with a cap. This time i put a little more thought into it and built a small platform for the mattress out of 2x6's. It never occurred to me to have drawers, or to cut the slab of plywood to make it easier to lift. I just bought some heavy-duty lift arms (so strong I had to get a slide bolt to keep the bed in the down position!) to lift the entire platform up to get at stuff underneath. I also got a camp stove and an actual 5-gal water jug for that trip. Spent several months living in that road-tripping around the states in 2004, then tent camped for a month in the Black Hills in SD. Haven't had a truck in quite some time now due to going into business for myself which requires a vehicle with good gas mileage, and have been dreaming of getting another truck and going traveling again. I loved it and I miss it and all these build threads make me want out there sooo badly! Thanks everyone for all the great ideas. My next truck is going to be truly liveable.

Some updated shots now that I moved my fridge to the back. Made it so it can tilt down ( I am short...kids are shorter, certainly helps with a 3" lifted D1 on 33's). Also put a cage around it so I can store stuff on top and beside without interference

Anyone have a link to where you find the panels that have the Molle Webbing on it? I want to put a larger panel behind the seat, along the back of the cab of the F-250, and cant seem to find a source no matter how I word it in my Google searches

THANK YOU so much! That's the exact reason I wanted it was to be able to attach a VooDoo Tactical Scabbard like on the Springtail Solutions site!

Bookmarked them for future reference! Thanks again

All good, glad it helped. I love my springtail stuff-I got their AR scabbard but find myself tucking it into my eberlestock pack as a rule.

I had a sliver of space on the rear of my storage slide out kitchen and action packers.... turns out its PERFECT for storing my IGT 3 and some of its attachments.

The very best MOLLE seat panels that I've ever seen are the Blue Ridge Overland Gear. I've owned theirs for over a year and love it! It's also a great company that helps support The 4x4 Podcast ;-)
