I am a pro precision rifle shooter and wanted a better way to carry all my match gear without being cluttered. I took ideas from several threads and some aftermarket drawer systems. I used 3/4” and 1/2” maple plywood, 250 lb locking drawer slides and t-nuts and screws for the drawer slides. I wanted two big open drawers with one being big enough for my pack. I wanted wings so I could store my compressor, hoses and other items I carry everyday since I have 33” tires and aftermarket wheels. I used speaker carpet inside the drawers and on all sides of the box other than the front, which is raptor liner. I am pleased with how everything turned out.
Finished my DIY drawers for LX570

Looks fantastic! Well done. The fit and finish look great.
The carpeting on the inside and top will serve you well in regards to cutting down on objects moving in transit. I have ARB drawers in my 2015 and the carpeting on top is very helpful.

Not going to lie, my expectations were shattered. Came expecting my type of DIY and realized I just suck at some things.
Those look great!

It was some rubber channel that had double sided 3m adhesive tape on it. I found it off of Amazon. I wasn’t sure how well it would hold up but so far, it’s done well. I am in and out of these drawers constantly too.
Thanks. It almost looks like aluminum in that picture. I'm familiar with the rubber channel with the adhesive strips.

Wow, really well done! Congrats on the project!
Came out great. Can you provide a link to the carpeting material used?
Oh man. I need to do this so I can carry my wife and kids crap when we go on road trips so it’s not all piled up and inaccessible
