Post up your drawer/storage system

[RedRocker]

Great idea. I may do the same thing so I can put the tie downs where I want them.

On a different note, I'm not sure how difficult the trails are that you wheel but from my own personal experience I no longer use bungie cords. Instead I use ratcheting tie down straps. Much more secure.

Man, I gotta get finished with my move so I can build my storage unit.

Yeah, I'm still working out my strap setup, on my old rear rack I could use
straps without hooks on the ends, this setup will require that kind of a strap.

Here mine for the back of my Discovery.

It is constructed of Birch plywood. I used aluminum plating for the drawer faces and paddle latches that lock. I was on the fence with the carpet color. I decided to go black due to the dirt factor. It is securely mounted to the floor, but with the turnbuckle connections, it comes out in less than a minute. Lastly, I installed some additional tie downs.

Next project will be the subwoofer enclosure and rear door table.

This was my storage solution before:

I may cut a secondary sheet of plywood and use a piano hinge so to have a fold out platform to cover the rear seats.

Here is my 1st multi use bed arrangement. Bikes can be rolled in and tied moto-style (both wheels on) skis can be slid in along the wheel wells. Hi Lift and shovel can easily be accessed from the side doors by un-screwing 2 wing nuts holding the cover/ shelf on. Most importantly 4 people can comfortably sit upright inside during poor weather when the floor is dropped
I have already begun thinking of other arrangements that include a couch on one side and a kitchen on the other, but this will suffice for this falls adventures.

Still needs some work, but it's getting there. I need to install some latches.
Here's my build-up thread: http://forum.ih8mud.com/100-series-c...dge-slide.html

Good source of cheap latches: Northern Tool

My requirements for my drawer were:
1. I needed to install a back seat so I could bring the kids out with me safely.
2. Now that I have the kids with me, I needed to secure tools, liquids, and camping gear.
3. maximize space in rear of 40 = one big drawer as opposed to two (although two drawer system would have been more practical).

not finished but here is what I got.








material:
3/4 plywood the good kind
liquid nails
countersink bit
wood screws 1.5" length
4 24" lowes industrial strength sliders (doubled on each side)

I plan on using duplicolor bedliner stuff today to finish it off. I will edit when done.

I like how your box turned out. How are you fastening the seat to it? Just my 2 cents worth; for safety don't count on the seat staying in place mounted to the plywood top if you have to stop suddenly. Bolts can easily pull thru plywood even with washers or the whole top could pull loose from the box. IMHO, stick with a bolted/welded steel mount.

What slides did you use on this?

Here is my latest. I wanted to give the UHMW plastic glides a try. I think I still perfer the ball bearing glides.

finally finished my storage box.

Our jeep is set up for two. While I did build in a provision for a small jump seat on the passenger side(to be installed at a latter date), the main focus is to have the bases covered for just us. Anyway, here are a few pics of the deck, drawers and cargo fence:



















And one of the new RTT!
