The drawer build has taken a lot more time and money to complete than I expected, but is finally in the finishing stages, and I can't wait to put it all together.

Took some time to seal the mdf yesterday before giving it a fee coats of black lacquer wood paint. A part of me wanted to keep it with the wood look, but it's just more practical and ultimately more durable to be painted with a few extra layers of black paint.

The new gas stove showed up yesterday too and fits I'm right at home in the primary draw pull.

I have not built the side cupboards like in the adventure index plans I bought since I have different ideas about how to secure the main carcass down and not need to cut and install 2 additional long sides. Once everything is in the car I do plan on closing off the sides, possibly also with a lid but it will be hinged off of the 2 main boxes instead of being standalone.

I have some carpet material on the way as well to cover the tops to allow for easier sliding of the cooler and what not. Also have some cooler tie downs coming to make sure it doesn't slide or bounce around offroad.

There are definitely some things I could improve the second time around, and mainly wish wood wasn't so pricey so I didn't have to use mdf, but overall for a first-time cabinet build it came out pretty sweet.
