Hey guys! Got my storage box/sleeping platform built today. Total cost was under $200, took about 8 hours to build including the trip to the lumber yard. It really helps to have a brother that is a contractor when you do a project like this!
With the seat bottoms out I have a full 6' sleeping platform & a ton of storage in the drawers plus under the side wings over the wheel wells. We used 24" drawer slides rated at 100#. The drawers are 36' long, 8" deep & 17" wide. I hinged the top of the box so I could access the full drawer. Overall I'm really happy how it turned out. Just need to paint it & carpet the top, but that will have to wait a couple weeks, I have the last race of the season next weekend, so the Runner will have to be patient.
