Almost ready to pull the trigger on some thing like this.
anyway to implement a table storage space above or below the drawer? Since starting to look at your drawers i cam across drifta drawers and they do a table in theirs that is really nice. would like to see about using one of their tables in one of your drawers. Is this something you can do or have thought about?

If it can fit within drawer compartment I can modify a drawer interior to fit it. I have a Coleman stove and aluminum foldable table in one drawer.

That was fast!! Ordered on 3/1 delivered today 3/13. Unbelievable attention to detail. I will post pictures of they way Scott shipped it and set it up for install. Got it put together in ten minutes. Getting it out of the packaging he shipped it in was a different story. Packed very very well. Not a scratch on it.

More pics.

Im close by in Ma. BUT I m gonna build my own Ill post up soon. Nice work.Well I had a chance to build another set of my storage drawers for a local to CT. Mud member. I will be installing in his 80 next week at my shop. Customer made a couple changes and upgraded to locking pull handles, and drawer dividers. It was another fun build. Now I have a template for the 80 series for future builds. These units are rock solid and my favorite mod in my 80. Amazing for camping/sleeping in the back and a ton of organized storage.
Includes:
- Solid 3/4" AC ply construction
- All ply wood edges have 1/8" round over done with router. No sharp edges
- Side compartments flip up for easy to reach storage
- Front compartment (directly behind rear seat) Latch style lock
- European style hinges on all compartments
- 2 drawers. NO slides. Compression fit. Easy to use. Nothing to wear out or rattle. Maximizes size of drawer. Bottom panel of drawers are recessed 1/4" so the drawer glides on the two 3/4" wide side panels.
-4 Ring tie down anchors. Flush mount
-Locking pull latches on drawers. Flush mounted
-Entire unit is finished with 3 coats of acrylic clear coat. Sanded in between coats for a cabinet grade finish. Clear coat underneath all carpeting as well. This unit will stand up to lots of abuse.
-4 metric bolts and washers included for install. Unit bolts down to OEM 3rd row seat holes in body.
-Drawer interiors : 29 1/4" long X 19" wide X 7 3/4" deep
-Front storage behind rear seats : 42" long X 8" wide X 8" deep
-Flip up sides: 40 1/2" long X 8" wide. Not square. Wheel wells are on interior
-unit weighs 130 lbs. Complete.
Base price as shown on first page is $1400
*** EDIT *** LOCKING LATCH PULLS NOW INCLUDED ****
+$0000 for locking pull latch as shown. Included in base price is drawer pulls the same as anchors with no latch. IF pulls are desired deduct $50 from total.
+$40 for two extra tie down anchors in the middle of box for a total of 6.
+$90 for drawer dividers (as shown). Included in base price is no dividers.
I am willing to due other custom mods to fit people's needs.
****UPDATE.

@RFB ....soooo. how many hours?? Looks good though. It's not for a beginner or faint hearted. I priced very fair for the amount of work it takes.

Id have to say I easily have 20-24 hors into this entire thing, and Its far from the perfect I had planned, but it wors exactly as needed and looks like I knew what I was doing. but all in all If I had the funds to spare I would have ordered one and used that time for something else, like say repacking or replacing the birfields.
