    Hmm, looks more promising then I originally thought. I'll need to do some measurements on the stove/etc to see if it will fit in the larger drawer. After reviewing the partner steel dimensions it looks like it should fit into the decked drawer with little issue. What i the spacing on the dividers? Also it looks like the box system is roughly two divider spaces in length or am I mistaken

    Looks like i can easily install a fridge slide as well on the core track system you are talking about, presume it involves installing riv nuts into it, but looks fairly straight forward to do it as the holes are already pre dimpled.

    Taking a look at the decked schematics for the midsize, it appears that there should be enough room underneath the bed towards the cab to install a water pump, and some electrical connections, although that may not be the best are to do this. Might end up having to install the pump in the cubby on the drivers side. trimming a cubby so it can still be accessed if need bee in case of emergency.

    Greatly appreciate the video!!!

    I can get spacing on the dividers but the use for those you can create a larger gap or small ones. So I’ll get the distant between each notch. And I believe there are 4 throughout the drawer.

    Ah, I misunderstood, but yes knowing how far you can set apart the spacers would be nice. .

    Anyone know how the guy installed the alucab fridge slide to his decked? Presuming he drilled through the decking itself and used some bolts/washers to hold in in place and prevent tearing out.

    Now if i can figure out how i can carry all my dive kit, camping gear/fridge with me this will work perfectly for doing some deep lake exploration in a few spots. hmm. FYI, I do not do normal diving, I sometimes carry up to 6 tanks, rebreather and scooter, so it gets to be pretty gear intensive. Hence why I want the electrical in the back, so when ia m driving I am able to charge up all my lights/scooter over a long drive.

    I've been looking for something other than a hard tonneau cover that is more versatile. I like the option of having a drawer system for things I want to secure (camping gear, range trips, etc) and still have some use of the bed with a 2K load capacity for things yard/work supplies (wood, boards, bag rock, etc) and also some lip left for tying down toys (kayak, dirtbike, mtn bike). Adding a rack would make this uber versatile. Looks like can even mount kayak racks and bike holders to the deck.

    Along with this Leitner modular rack looks like a great setup!


    Was looking at the Diamnondback SE cover, but that is more expensive, less versatile by not giving me any side bed height left and and won't work with a rack system if I decide to put one on the sides.

    Glad I saw this thread!

    @V5ioV you can use the larger cubby for straps and cords I’d also recommend sealing the cubby holes so yours doesn’t do what mine did.

    You cannot. You will need to run a small extension cord and plug it in prior to installing the decked system

    The part right in front of it is the ammo cans right?

    That's good for options.....
    Do you use those ammo cans alot?
    I feel like if I go this route I'd like to see if they can be modded to still provide support but be made bigger or even deleted

    I carry my hitch in there but I’m not regularly going in and out of there. I’m sure you could mod it
