I was able to use the 2 threaded existing holes that are meant for the slide-out tray (once I found them from underneath). I drilled the top of them out since they are covered with sheet metal. These holes helped a lot and allowed me to figure out where to put the other 2 holes I had to drill. Until I found these I was struggling on getting everything in alignment. I had to use 3 of the supplied spacers on each bolt to get the drawers high enough to clear the plastic over the rear wheels. This required me getting longer bolts from the hardware store which were 100mm in length. I cut square holes in the styrofoam liner and carpet where the bolts were coming through and put it back in. I added some 2x3 pieces to fill the empty space between the carpet and the drawers.
Hi. I am installing dobinson drawers and was following your example. I found the 2 rear holes and drilled out the sheet metal to access them. What did you use to mount the forward side (towards the seats?). I don't see any other inserts to drill out. Did you just drill into the floor?

Theres a few different options. Looks like he bolted through the floor and used wood as a spacer. I endeded up doing an arb system and used the front (towards the engine) crossmember and some rivnuts.

That looks like a nice clean drawer system! How much did the whole system weigh?

Did you insulate around the rivnuts? Caulking or something?

Nope. Theyre not exposed to any elements. Thats just a cossmeber on top of the floor. And the way the attach they dont move so theres no worry about rattles.
