Cabinet/Drawers

E-Train (Eric) recently completed a set of locking storage cabinets for my FJC. The craftsmanship is incredible and I am really happy with the outcome.
The cabinets are fitted with ball bearing sliders, spring loaded handles and locks and Eric fabricated everything to match the OEM front and rear anchors. Every joint is filled and painted. The cabinet is painted black, covered in heavy duty indoor/outdoor carpet and the top corners are covered in heavy duty vinyl and fitted with four tie down anchors. He even added a custom serial number plaque.

Inverter Receptacle Moved

Since access to the inverter plug is blocked by the cabinets I chose to rewire and move the plug/receptacle using the sub woofer cabinet as a housing. I removed the plug and cover clipped the wires and added about a foot of length of wire. I then notched the cover where the wires exit the inverter and notched the bottom of the sub woofer cabinet to allow the wires entry. Then I simply cut out a 1 3/8" square for the plug cover and screwed it in. I never liked the position of the inverter plug down low. Now it is up high and away from my storage bags and gear.

More pictures to follow.

That's the first set of drawers that I acually like. It's a super clean job.

those look amazing, you dont by chance have the specs on those do you?

too bad he does not make them to sell nationwide...but specs on parts and dimensions would be awesome...

Thanks for posting those pictures Scott and thank you to everyone for your comments. I enjoy building them and do it for a very fair price. There's more info here if interested with pictures and contact information: Welcome

I'm happy to customize a set for anyone. I can build them for any make or model of vehicle. From single drawer versions to stackable to modular set-ups, drop me a note to talk about something that would work best for you. I'm working on a new version of the FJ Drawers and a set for a Jeep Cherokee and I'll post pics of those set-ups as they get completed.

Thanks again for your positive comments.

It is true that freight charges put a damper on building these for areas outside of my local area. But, it's not impossible.

Shoot me a pm with any questions you have and I'll do my best with insight on these drawers and building them.

I'm thinking of building these in Kentucky if anyone is interested. I'd have to work up a price after I build my own set. Variations are going to be available also.

Sweet, nice hijack.

Hey gon2srf, I'm not sure what you mean by "nice Hijack" but I wasn't trying to cut into anyone's business, just offering to build some in the middle of the country. Hope I didn't offend anyone. that's the last thing I want to do. Sorry if I offended anyone!

Nah, no offense man. He was joking. Have at it.

E-Train sent you a pm about the drawyers.

Exactly, thus the big grin!!

Thanks! I'm an old fart and not too computer literate, kinda thought that's what you meant. Just wanted to be sure. I feel better now, I was a bit embarrassed before. Wow, I'm surprized, I actually used an icon! Learn something every day.

ETrain....would like your parts list and some rough guidance you used for measurements if you dont mind...so I can try to make my own. If not...then no worries as you put a lot of hard work into that box...but it is definately well made and worth the effort rather than paying $500 for one commercially.

Nice website and drawers E-train, it is a bum deal you are so far away. I was just thinking this last weekend of what I could put in the back for tools and gear. I have it tied down, but it comes loose all the time. I get crazy when I have to listen to that stuff shift around. I'm gonna try to build one, but can assure you it wont look near as good as yours. If you figure out a way to make money and ship please let us know.
