Criminally underrated. Love this series. Keep 'em coming!
Thanks man!!
Really great walk through. Been wanting to do this on my 100 series but wasn’t sure how to go about it. Thanks for the video
Thanks for watching!
Great work Buddy. Always a pleasure watching your content. Small suggestion, using an artists canvas stretcher might help in getting a nice taught carpet install.
Thanks Mike! Not a bad idea at all!
Great video and excellent build quality. that extruded stuff is super cool but it sure is expensive! i bet you saved alot on weight though.
Thanks man! It really is awesome stuff to build with. The extrusion itself isn’t too badly priced they get you on the corner connectors and hardware! Haha.
Putting aluminum angle iron across the front would protect the front edge from the carpet being torn off, and would also hide that black bracket for the lock.
I wonder if it's not easy enough to incorporate a base plate into the bottom. Then you could mount that baseplate to the third row mounting points instead of having to use the turnbuckles. Could just screw the baseplate to the metal the same way the top was. It would become pretty heavy that way though I guess.
This is very interesting though and seems easy and approachable enough that even I could do it. I'll probably do something similar in my 80. I just shared the video with a buddy who has way more wood working tools than I do. We'll have to see about replicating this.
Nice!! I actually didn’t mind the bracket I could have put it under the carpet as well! That’s a good idea for the aluminum angle though!
Goodluck with your build thanks for watching!
(And not calling you out but in case people need that hardware to bolt the slides to the drawers they are “1/2” long #8 machine screws” The “32” refers to the threads per inch and is only specified because some sizes can have both a coarse and fine thread option . “8/32” would just be 1/4” and these are certainly thinner than that. 😊 looks awesome man. Great work; very clean and professional.
Thank you! I definitely missed that in my rambling while editing 😂
This is awesome.. how did you get the 80/20 in shapr3d?
cool!
Thanks for watching!
👍👍👍
Awesome video and drawer system. I’ve been wanting to do something like this for my 80 series (94)I just bought. I’d love to see some build plans. I was looking at some already built systems and no one has anythingfor the 80 series. Although I could make them work with some modification I’d like to build one to its specific storage space. would you be willing to let us know about how mch time and money you have in it? I’m happy I found your channel you have a lot of good stuff for someone like me who needs to restore an 80 series Land Cruiser.
Thanks man! I need to sit down and total it all up! Time wise is hard to judge as I worked on it as I could when I wasn’t at work.
Appreciate you watching!!
There are quite a few drawer systems out there for the 80. Just depends on how complex you want it.
It's sad some of the simpler ones aren't made anymore. But if you want one that the pricepoint/value seems to intersect at a good point then look up AirUpGearDown. Or perhaps SHW ultralite.
Hey man! cool build! What floor mats do you use in the rear of the 80?
Thanks man! Weather tech!
Great build mate. What CAD app are you using??
Shapr3D!
Wondering what the length is for the 2 extrusions that connect the 3 sides together?
Sorry about that! 19 1/4” each! Thanks for pointing it out.
What app are you using for 3D design? Really dig the build btw! I’d forgotten about the 80/20 and was about to build the whole thing of plywood lol
Thanks man!! I’m using Shapr3d! I love 80/20 extrusion. It’s on the expensive side. But to me the rigidity of it is worth it. Not to mention your frame will be perfectly square for your drawers which helps a ton in the smoothness of their operation.
@@Adv4x4 yeah it’s great stuff, and the weight savings too!
Haven’t been keeping up with your videos lately but is that shiny wedding ring, new? Was she your wife when you did the first camper?! Either way congrats!! 🎉🎉
Thank you!! We got married in October of 2022! Have been together for 7 years in all though!
Must have missed that detail before; don’t think I’ve been away that long! anyway, congrats.
What’s the software you’re using ? Also how did you implement the 80/20 into that software?
Shapr3d on IPad! I had to physically draw the extrusion unfortunately
Can you share the file?
The link to the drawer slides is a duplicate of the latches.. any way we could get the slides linked?
Fixed!

I'll go rhythm
Have a link to those corner brackets? And is there a reason to go with that style over some like this?

Yessir! Website is in the description!
Those could absolutely work as well 👌🏼
I swear I checked the link before posting this and couldn’t find them when I was putting a cart together. Magically they are there now lol.
