Does anyone have any templates or videos that are helpful ?
Any premade drawers people have experience with ?
I had a set of the KISS drawers from @Landshark in my '94 but I am not sure if they are still available. These were excellent but I ended up doing lots of minor modifications for power management and better storage access.
@pavell these are the best drawers you can get. but they cost $. 80 Series Land Cruiser — TrekboxX Expedition Systems - https://www.trekboxx.com/80-series-land-cruiser

Bump. Would love to see some pics of folks rear cargo storage/drawer/sleeping platform setups. I have searched but coming up short, or maybe my search technique is off. I cant find a compilation of rear storage builds. So, whatcha got? Post a pic!

I’d hope for over $4k that it would be a good box to put stuff in. lol 
X2 "build your own" and save a few grand...i built mine for $120 but it's a sleeping platform.
Just a few to mention (rough pricing):
Biltfour starting from $3500
Big country drawers $2k
Goose gear $3-6k
Air down gear up starting from $2k
SHW 2-4k
I had the big country (very stout) but it was 150lbs. I wanted something light and i felt like sleeping in a coffin when 2nd row is folded down to make the platform. The SHW is the lightest...85lbs(iin my sequioa) but the superlite model is so-so.

^^^ that's well thought out and nicely executed!
Build your own. If I remember correctly, I had less than $500 in my drawer system.
i built my own setup , and it turned out perfect , platform is in two pieces so i can remove it and put back rear seats , drawer is ex police lock box for police gear

and all done
Looks great
Here's some measurements, then a few pics of my first build.
This arrangement allowed olenty of space for ione operson to sleep with the hatch closed, which in bear ciontry can be important. It's less bear proof, but withe the tailgate lowered the fridge drawer slides back, a board is laid over the resulting gap, and the tailgate tent can be installed to provide lots of space for two to sleep.
I'll post some pics of my current set-up a little later.

I built my own about 10 years ago and still enjoy it. About 2 sheets of plywood, 2 pair of slides, 8 hinges and a pair of locking paddle handles. Sprayed it with Rhinoliner and done. Lay the second row down, put 2x4 block under it to level seat and you have a sleeping platform.
$6300 later, I can buy another 80 for that.
or you could almost buy a rear bumper from Delta VS. or a nice suspension setup from Delta VS. everything is relative and its only an option.
Also why I don't buy anything from Delta...and you couldnt pay me to run Icon suspensions.
