My "semi-professional" DIY drawers build

So, I've been itching to upgrade my drawers that I've build a couple of years ago. It wasn't robust to my needs and being that I have a 3rd row, it didn't leave much room for anything else. So, first thing first, the 3rd row seat has to go. I think I may have use it's like once a year. I was looking into buying one but being this is a 3rd row delete, choices were limited. Trexboxx was an option but the price is $3k and their 3rd row is still in progress. After countless days of resesearch, I decided to see if I could build a higher quality version by myself. So, the result is inspired by a combination of other's builds I found on ih8mud, Goosegear plate system, and Trekboxx. Let me say, building this was not cheap but very rewarding. My last build was pretty straight forward, everything was put together with standard plywood and wood screws. I wanted this to be more of a production build with higher quality, robust parts: Baltic Birch Plywood, 80/20 aluminum extrusions, Accuride slides, machine screws, threaded inserts, pocket holes, etc. previous drawers: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/213224-3rd-row-drawer-system-part-1-a.html Future plans: cage and sleeping platform for solo trips
