    That's what I would have done. Bathroom storage is a must for us.

    I'm sure my terminology is wrong, but the rear of one of the rails that the drawer slides on is right where I had to cut a hole for the cold water supply line. The shut-off valve is right there. Instead of replumb the supply, I took out the drawer slides rails and will butcher the one drawer so I have just the face plate.

    Glue that on so it looks like there is a full drawer there, but it is just a trap.

    Oh I would of loved to shorten it too. The rear of the drawer rail was attached right where a line came into the vanity. I had to remove the rail system it slides on, otherwise I would of shortened the drawer. You can see the two holes where the other rail attached and where I had to cut fit the waste pipe.

    So this happened today, ive been looking to go up to a full size and trailer as the taco isn't handling my workload well, and then on the 31st with 220k on the motor and about 1k on the frame the motor seized (from the way it acted the oil pump stopped) so I went with a f150 on a faster time frame then I planned with out a trade in. Now to figure out what to do with the tacoma.

    Willing to bet that the ford is much more affordable than a Tundra. Sorry to hear about your truck, but I feel for with needing a bigger truck. I would shop around for a used engine and drop it in the Toyota...otherwise your gonna take a hell of a loss. BTW ....say hi to the Ford Forums;)

    Truck prices are insane. I see tons of HD trucks that are loaded that don't tow or get used for work, I can't imagine wasting the money on them. I was hoping to get another year out of the tacoma as not having a car payment has been really nice, well looks like I need to actually work now

    I am in that position right now...my wife wanted to buy a new tundra for me, but I really like my taco for work, sure it's got well over 200k on it and funky smells and ding and dents...but I like it too much to get rid of it. Recently the clutch has been slipping, already picked up a marlin crawler for it. Problem is I am too busy to put it in...so I will baby it till spring. So I feel for ya.

    New shed delivered. Time to hose off everything that's been sitting outside in the rain and mud since the old one blew away.

    Couldn't you shorten the drawer and relocate the drawer slide? I ran into the same issue when I installed a vanity minus the water supply line being there. I just shifted the slides up towards the top of the drawer.
