    Well the drawer will be suspended so water under it shouldn't be a problem. There is also the holes up at the cab side of the bed so it drains pretty well. Also with the shell I don't get much water in the bed so it's usually not a problem.

    I have a BedRug on the tailgate, so my drawers run 1/2" above the bed floor. Make sure your drawers will clear any covering you might have on your tailgate.

    The added benefit is keeping the drawers out of the water (fortunately, I have not had a leak yet.)

    Nice choice, I want to make the switch to mirror less and Sony from my Nikon. I need to actually use the Nikon until I can make the switch though lol.

    I'm really impressed with this style of camera. The mirrorless DSLR type cameras. There are a couple on the market and they are quickly becoming very popular

    Bingo! That and to bring some organization to my rig. I'm ready for things to have a perminant place in the truck.

    I'll get some better photos tomorrow when it's all finished best part is that it is not perminantly attached to the bed so I can very easily remove the drawer and platform if I needed to. Remove drawer, remove carpeted platform, and remove the framework.... Done

    These came out pretty light and I don't nearly have to worry about weight yet. I'm running like 2.5" of rake right now. Once I get a bumper obviously it will start to add up. I can always throw another leaf in there for more support. But you are right weight adds up quick.

    If I had to guess the whole platform and drawer installed will prob weigh between 100-125 lbs which is much lighter than the truck vault type drawer systems. Much cheaper too :D

    Playing with the new camera yesterday.... it has SOOOOOO many cool features. Im very impressed with this thing. It actually can generate a wifi hotspot and you can hook up to it with your phone and send photos wirelessly on the fly to your smart phone.... pretty nuts.
