    Got it, two follow up questions for ya..

    1) Are you happy with the Ragos? They're the only ones I see that are explicitly First Gen compatible... but these are like have the price and seem to go up further the side of the bed which may be better.. Kinda torn. Might post a thread to see if anyone has done the Amazon ones.

    2) How did you bolt down your drawers and such to your bed? Did ya just drill into the bed?

    I am happy with the Ragos, no issues at all. I do not remember all the research in deciding these were the ones. Much info was found here on TW.

    If you look at my profile and what posts I have made you can find various build posts. I cabinets are not drawer/slide type. All the framework is 80/20 from TNutz. The tops are open which fits my needs better. I have one drawer (the lower one) that also has a removeable top for flexible access. The framework is mounted to the bed along the bed rails where I attached a single-sided 80/20. The rear lower portion is attached to the bed stiffeners, very stable/solid.

    Funny enough, previous owner installed airbags with on board compressor. They work decently as a temporary solution, but I don't like the limits they put on articulation.. I am stressed about tearing 'em.

    And before someone says so, the ones the owner put on aren't compatible with air bag cradles unfortunately.
