Doozy4212's Better Truck Drawer Build/Guide.....AGAIN (V3)

This awesome! Cant wait to see v3 completed!

 

Thanks, it's going to be a few weeks yet, been working hard on getting @upTOPoverland up and running so this has been on the back burner. They will be done before my trip to Moab the first week of May

 

I hear you, I hear you. I'm planning a trip to Moab as well, more than likely towards the middle of May however.

 

It's only 5 hours from me, always down to go to Moab, if I'm free and you want company, hit me up, I'll join ya!

 

Man that’s awesome! Thanks for the offer, I’ll definetly keep that in mind. This will be my first trip out there, I’m coming all the way from Georgia

 

I'm a semi-decent guide!

 

Georgia!!! Well you're in for fun! Moab is great! I'd take @Doozy4212 up on the offer. I've been out there countless times, but never to wheel (believe it or not). I was big in to rock climb and biking before marriage and family... Wouldn't trade them but I sure do miss random trips to the dessert! Anyway, Moab can get busy!!! Nice to know where some dispersed (boondock) sites are when others fill up. Good to have "guide". Hell... May is "Moab Season" maybe I'll end up out there myself this year.... have fun!

 

Haven't forgotten about this but I have just been busy with upTOP Overland. My drawers are going to be cut on a CNC this time so it will be significantly less interesting than V2.

 

Does this mean a drawer system is in the works for upTOP?

 

Nope, not even a remote focus for us, Micah is just helping me out so I can help him out. He can cut all the pieces on the CNC in 5% of the time it will take me to do it by hand, and more accurately too!

 

sub'd for a great build and read. My brother made a bed box/sleeper like your v1 and I have been wanting to do the same thing as your V2. Keep up the great work.

 

Thank you! This build fizzled a bit, but ill provide some updates in the next couple weeks

 

What are you going to use to power the charging station? A second car battery? Or are you going to pull power form elsewhere?

 

nope, just connecting to my main battery and i will only turn it on when i need it. It has a built in circuit breaker

 

Will you be sharing the CNC plans in the future?

 

How are the drawers coming? I just read your whole V2 and V3 drawer build threads. I am planning my V2 build right now.

Have you considered a drop slide for your fridge/cooler? I just got one from MSA. This way you can keep your dual drawer system, unless you were really needing that single drawer :-D

I am getting the exact same lift as you in just a few weeks. I cant wait, so those pictures were nice to see as well. I'm also in Littleton, do you ever go out with Rising Sun 4x4?

 

Theres a million ways you can build em which makes it fun!

Let me know of you need help on the install of drawers or lift. I do all my own work and am happy to help

 

Thanks a lot! I have set up an appointment with Slee, this will be the first thing I've opted to pay someone else to do to the truck but preferably I would rather do it myself. I just don't have a proper garage. In my current setup, if I installed the suspension inside the garage, I wouldn't be able to drive the truck out! I don't know what it is with Colorado and tiny garages

 

Looks nice. Are you going to have both the water tank and gas tank on the drivers side?

 

Yes, its already done, i just neglected this thread
