    TRUCK: 2020 Ram 1500 w/5'7" bed.
    TOPPER: Leer 180 Mid-Rise

    I like the simplicity of the bed I'm going to be full-time in my truck for quite a while, now even though I wouldn't need my bed quite as wide but the same concept, did a small cabinetry to fill in the other side for a kitchen perfect, but have a high-rise truck topper that's a benefit but clean and simple I love it

    The most important part is covered in the first minute and a half. Evaluate one's actual needs and usage before building. As the build progresses a person can ask themselves if what they're doing works toward those goals.

      @@G2Outdoors I did it. I added a 2x4 in the middle because I weigh about 250 but you can still put the board for the table under it and I didn't hinge the middle and just made one piece of plywood so I can pull the whole thing out without taking anything apart and store it. It was a great way to make a simple bed with storage underneath it and I'm super glad I found your video. Archery is 2 weeks away in Pa. and I'm ready. Thanks!

    Looks awesome and love the creativity! A small lip around the edge of your pullout storage shelf might help to make sure the bins can't fall off the back of the shelf or get caught behind a leg as you pull it out (if they got jostled around during travel). Might be frustrating to have bins get stuck under there when you pull the shelf out.

This setup allows me to stack the parts in the front of the bed, under my 9.6' raft. When I get to the camping spot, I pull out the raft, do the 2-3 minute setup and I'm ready. The inserts are the magic pill! Thanks!
