I decide to simplify the design.

@ Jhalko
The idea is to have side by side when the 3rd row is not in use. When I need the 3rd row, I can stack them on top of each other . Since there's limited space, I was only able to make them 7.5" x 21" x 35". When both are stack, I still have room for my coolor or storage contaner.
I plan to use this a a locking latch.

Also, I will be putting in dividers for the compartments.

Yeah given my multi use I was thinking of a removable two stage setup, although I may put a fridge in so one side would be lower for that. Still need to be able to carry my dog back there and want to be able to sleep inside.

What was your plan to secure the drawers when stacked?

I want strong secure storage for items I leave in the vehicle or items don't want to have to load/unload stuff to get to.
^^ the $1000 was for the drawers posted above your reply, all the off the shelf options are expensive

If you're one of those people that keeps absolutely nothing in your vehicle then you probably don't have a use for them. I didn't have a use for a drawer system, but I did build a platform with a pullout tray, which suits my needs much better. A few of my friends have drawer systems and it helps organize recovery gear, camping equipment, and misc items that you don't feel like loading and unloading every time you're headed out the door. Some systems are so beefy that you can lock and store firearms without worry. I prefer a platform because most of my activities involve a pack of some sort, so all of my gear is basically pre-staged. However, when loaded in the truck, I lose a lot of valuable space (such as the ability to sleep inside the vehicle comfortably. In the past, I would have to unpack the 4runner at the trailhead, so I could lay flat (can't sleep in the seats...bad back ) or reorganize things so I could get a little bit more comfortable. It also creates a "trunk" in the back, which now gives me some added comfort when I leave my truck sitting for a few days in the backcountry.

Hey I hav a question for you all... is there any storage at all in the 4Runner? I just got my first (2016 Limited) and I'm kind of surprised there seems to be ZERO storage compartments in the back. In my old car (Subaru Forester) there were all kinds of places to store jumper cables, flashlights, tow hitch balls, etc.
Does everyone just buy/build storage drawers like this thread?

There is a cutout area on the side that can store things

You mean the little door on the left side that has the jack and the lug wrench? There's barely any room in there... maybe I could tie up a flashlight but definitely no jumper cables, recovery straps, or anything like that.
