Filling in the blanks here where I was too lazy to post after a project. Rear drawer system done!

 Frame is 3/4" square tube topped with 3/4" birch ply wood, drawers made of birch as well.

 These suckers can hold a TON of crap!

 Drawer faces are 10 gauge steel recovered from an old file safe, the handles were from Zoro and welded into the face

 Top is covered with what is called a "roof mat" usually when AC units are set on roofs of commercial buildings this is what they use cheap and tough as nails

 Wings on each side for more junk storage

 Thinking about redoing the design on the next set

A short video of the system

Long time more progress

Keeping up with a blog on a timely basis or as things progress as they happen isn't exactly my bag of tea. When I get into a project I usually just want it done and forget to snap pics along the way, it is what it is.


Since the last post I've installed the rear IPOR bumper, rebuilt the power steering pump, removed the old cooler and installed new aluminum behind the front cross member. I also installed the OPOR sliders and the IPOR skid plate and finished the rear swingouts. I bought some new General Grabber AT2 in a 315/75/16 which I absolutely love. I also removed the LSPV as it  was leaking, the cost vs. benefit of replacing told me to just run without it. I bought a Lokka Spool and completed the part time kit as well.


On the burner now is the can holder for the DS swingout but who knows when that will happen!
