Post up your drawer/storage system

I really like your setup, 6string. You've probably already mentioned it somewhere else, but what type of camper shell do you have?

Also, just out of curiousity, what is the round thing hanging from a carabiner in the top right of the last picture?

Thanks. My topper is a Leer 100r with windoors and sliders. Check my build thread for more info. (Link on signature line below.)

The thing hanging there is a battery-operated LED lantern. Runs nearly forever on 4 AAAs. Got it at Wal-Mart for like seven bucks, and it's been super useful. Unfortunately, though, I haven't been able to find another since.

I have a custom drawer in my Jeep Wrangler LJ from the fine folks at Adventure Trailers.

I liked the AT drawers from the start, but unfortunately none of the stock options would fit in my Jeep which has a smaller cargo area than the typical expedition truck. So I contacted Martyn at AT to enquire about a custom drawer made to my specifications and he said it would be no problem. A small group of us then tried to get enough interest for a group buy to keep the cost down but to no avail. At this point I decided to buy a single custom unit for myself the cost be damned. The drawer is specific to my truck as I moved to back seat forward by 2" and removed the padding from under my carpet in order to maximize the size of the drawer. It ended up 34.5" wide and 24" deep and only weighs around 40 pounds. It has met my needs perfectly and proven to be completely durable even with the light weight construction. I have it fully loaded with my complete kitchen kit, filtering system, first aid kit and personal toiletries. I highly recommend the AT drawers to anyone who is looking for a pre-made solution as opposed to a home brew setup. I will be selling the LJ next year and replacing it with a new 4 door Wrangler JK and an AT drawer will definitely be in the back of this truck.

Nice drawer, it would look good in my LJ.

Thank you !
That's great. It looks like you did the right thing and that you are so satisfied with the result that you're going to do it again with the next vehicle says a lot.
I went to the AT site, after posting, and saw the page for the drawers. Looks like very good stuff.

Hey, stay away from my drawer!!

Dry fit
it's not completely done but you get the idea. for sleeping you pull the drawer out to the edge of the tailgate and put a board ontop
