(Mostly) Finished up my new drawer project.
Story time... When we moved, the lady friend and I got a dog. Our old set up consisted of the fridge in the back seat with the dog,and two side by side drawers in the back with misc. supplies and gear stacked on top. This sort of worked but I felt bad for only giving the dog half of the back row when we went wheeling and/or camping. Well, quarantine hit and we got another dog. We had been talking about getting another dog within the next year but with the two of us working from home, we figured what better time than now. Having a second dog really made me get my ass in gear as far as building a new storage set up since I knew there was no way in hell our two dogs can split have the back row.
There's a few things I wanted to incorporate with this new makeover.
- A deeper drawer the same amount of items in one drawer
- Fridge Slide
- Locking Drawer Slides
- Compressor Mount
- Ability to make it a sleeping platform
- Box for subwoofer
And this is what I came up with...
I think I was able to achieve everything I set out for with this build.
- The drawer is the perfect size to carry all my more commonly used tools, as well as my hammock, misc. parts I want readily available, misc. camping gear, first aid kit, small axe, etc.
- My new compressor for filling up tires, and the front and rear air lockers is mounted on the forward facing part of the drawer box.
- I can easily add an extension from the back of the drawer box and over the compressor, into the back seat if I ever want to make a sleeping platform.
- Subwoofer box is in progress and will be mounted on the backside of the fridge
I still have a few things to do with cable management but really excited with how everything turned out. Ready to go put it to some use.
