Found a less expensive more practical alternative to bedslide

I also created a second shelf that slides right over top of the wheel wells to utilize space efficiently.

 

From my measurements, I believe I could have used the 42" wide unit if I had known about it at the time. I found this on Amazon first before I found the manufacturers website

 

I drilled the right angle brackets so that the large bolts holding down the bed would go right through them and hold the entire assembly in place

 

That's pretty damn cool

 

No it does not have a latch to keep it open- but good question since I have not tried to open it on a hill yet-
I will get a measurement for you in a minute

 

The distance from the bottom of the drawer to the bed is 2 7/8"- that is only thing I didnt like - there is some wasted space- so I store 1/2" conduit and such there

 

Carpet is glued down-
You asked for a measurement from the bottom of the drawer slide- did I give you the answer you were looking for?

 

The bed is just plywood wood screwed to metal lip and and cross brace- I was actually thinking about replacing it with aluminum....

 

I know Toyota states 41.5" wide- but I measured it and I think the 42 will fit...,

 

The brackets in the rear are positioned differently because the bed bolts are closer together

 

inside drawer is 36" x 58" outside dim is 39x60

 

Like said earlier, I really think the 42" wide model will fit...

 

Nice find, OP.

 

Here is pic of the side area still usable.... The drawer slide width measurement is from protruding rail that is above the narrowest part of the floor. The rear bracket might be a little difficult- but think still doable.

The above pic is why I am so convinced the 42" wide model will fit- there is far more than 1.5" on either side available

 

I just picked up a $400 bed slide... glad I didn't see this first!
