I've been playing around with the idea of selling them in precut and carpeted kits! They would just need hinges and drawer slides installed. You'd just need an impact driver to screw the parts together. I could price it all out if its something you'd be interested in. Cheers!Why aren't you on the east coast! I would love this same setup but I can't build to save my own life.

If you decide, I am seriously interested in your system, I will just have to figure out how to hinge a sleeping platform over the back seats...your work looks awesome.I've been playing around with the idea of selling them in precut and carpeted kits!

This is awesome! I love the design! I am no where near as skilled as you are so I bought a set of the KISS drawers Mk2 and added a fold over sleeping platform so it looks like this:

I do like your hatch design! Very cool!
If I haven't bought mine yet, I would have taken your offer. But just in case I might need one for my T4R, how much what it be?

I like how you did this. Mine is somewhat similar, just with full length drawers.

I put the drawer edge in front of the finished top, which I may go back and change. It's worked well so far. I also put my hinges under the carpet as I've done on other setups like this in an effort to "hide" the drawers more from prying eyes.
My next step is to add drawer locks, but this stuff all takes time. The two part "wings" on the sides of yours are something I like. In hindsight, I would have liked to put a small "cubby" opening on the front, about one foot long. When I have things loaded in on top of the drawers I can't get into the side cubbies where I have less used items stored.
Very nice fit and finish on your set.

@Treebeard in your design, what are you using to elevate the rear deck so that when the drawers extend they don't contact the tailgate?
When I was building my drawers I did not see this being a problem initially. I ended up shimming it with drywall shim strips until I got the right angle and then removed the drawers, measured the thickness of the shims and cut ended up putting 5/8" x 3" x width of drawer strip across the bottom.
Have any of you, that have built drawer systems, removed the cargo area seatbelts. If so, was it difficult. It just seems that they get in the way and bang around when they come loose from the clips.
For sure!Very nice build. Are you open to pre fabricating & then in person pick up. Once things return to normal ofcourse?
After looking at material cost, using the same premium 3/4 Baltic Birch 13ply and swapping out the drawer slides for something a bit more heavy duty (20” side mount slides with a load limit of 250lbs) - rough cost would be around $1,200 per kit. That includes all the hardware, carpet, aluminum trim, lock, anchor bolts, and nylon strap handles. I’m looking into having the system CNC’d into interlocking pieces for easy assembly. Painting the wood and glueing of the carpet down would be up to you.
The 20” drawer slides would split the storag just about 50/50. Half drawer and half cubby.
If anyone is interested, hit me up with a DM!
