We have finalized our design and came up with an extremely strong, OEM looking base plate system that will hold down everything from our drawers, dog crates a fridge with a slide, or anything else that can be bolted. This keeps your mind at ease knowing your gear won't be bouncing around on a dirt road or trying to fly through your windshield in the event of an accident.
Our base plate is made of 1/2" Baltic Birch and is bed lined with Rhinoliner to give you a strong and durable coating. It bolts directly though the floor (requires drilling) so that it can withstand payloads required by most users. The install is very easy despite needing to be drilled. We also provide the hardware to get a watertight seal without the need of any silicone.
Our PAK System is made with aluminum extrusion, 500lbs drawer slides, Baltic Birch and encased with HDPE to give you a durable drawer that has a clean and usable exterior surface.
Please visit the product page for more information!
Looks very good, from what we can see at the same level as GooseGear, well done guys.
Unfortunately the price is also steep as GooseGear, I really hoped for something a bit cheaper, at that point it would have been a no brainer. Oh well!

A comparably sized drawer from GG is $1345. The GG baseplate is also $495. So you're saving quite a few hundred dollars with the Sherpa system. Plus Sherpa runs sales and GG doesn't. I'm willing to bet you're going to see a 10-15% sale during BF with Sherpa.

Maybe I'm looking at the wrong item but from what can I see:
- GG SIDE X SIDE DRAWER MODULE, 41 3/8"W x 10"H x 28"D, $1525
- SHERPA PAK SYSTEM, 33” x 20.5” x 10.25” (each), $1650
Yes, the base plate is significantly cheaper though.

For a single drawer and a baseplate you are looking at around $1100, for two drawers and a base plate you are looking at around $1900 before shipping.
We cut costs where we could. But, we also were not willing to take short cuts on things that are important to making a great product.
We wanted to keep the modularity of the extrusion accessible to the user. We have made it so all of our extrusion has the tracks exposed so you can utilize the exterior of your drawer module to mount accessories and organize more of your gear. Are they similar products, sure, but we pushed to have a more versatile option for those that want it. Goose gear does however make a fantastic product offering.
Here is a customer of ours who has mounted a cool bit of accessories to his drawers and his baseplate.
Or, here is another way someone utilized the open extrusions.
I probably took this and ran, but I wanted to show that we are not just trying to out price Goosegear. We pride ourselves in making high quality products and we make them affordable where we can. But, we also do not cut corners, we try to make superior products and we are always working to do so. We wont make something unless we know we can make it better or more useful. Being able to utilize the exterior space on a drawer was a must.

Thank you for the pics, as I said before it looks and I'm sure it is a very high quality product. I didn't mean to criticize you guys, I just thought / hoped that your setup would be a bit more affordable.
I'll stand by to see what Black Friday will bring us
