    Hello everyone, and thank you for your interest in this little creation of mine! So far I have had 8 nights of winter camping usage out of this setup, and overall, it's been amazing. In testing, I have come across a few things that could use improvement in future versions, and I'm sure I'll find more. At this point, I'm still too stoked on adventuring to confine myself to my shop, and I have decided to take this summer to give it a thorough test with some offroad test time. I will be returning in the fall to build a number of improved versions for sale, and that number will be determined by your interest! For those truly interested, please email me at sam@kampdrawers.com, and I'll include you on the mailing list for the fall. Note: I will only be building drawers to fit 2nd and 3rd gen Long Bed (6') Toyota Tacomas. No custom work. I'll most likely post updates in the form of adventure vlogs in the meantime. Cheers!

    At least you know you can smuggle a body to the middle of nowhere if you have to.
    Seriously... I like what you have done with your drawer system. For my DCLB TRD OffRoad, I have been designing a system with two 4 foot drawers allowing me a 2 foot compartment at the front of my bed where I can mount a pair of smittybilt air compressors and a pair of 2.5 gallon air tanks plus related plumbing and electrical for an OBA system forward of the wheel wells, I plan on putting a pair of "house batteries" and behind the wheel wells, I am just going to have storage compartments with removable lids. I have long used a chuck box for camp kitchen, but I may have to swipe a few storage ideas from you.
    Very nicely done.

    Very awesome! That's very similar to what I want for my truck. Ideally, the storage and kitchen drawers would be a tiny bit shallower - maybe with a height just enough to fit the camp stove. Then, on top of this I want individual full length bed slides for each side. The slide over the kitchen would allow easy access to storage items like camp chairs, luggable loo, fire pit (or propane pit depending on the location and season), etc. The slide over the storage drawers would have the fridge, solar power generator, and propane tank(s). All this would have to fit in between my total chaos bed stiffeners. No need for sleeping platform in the bed because we have an RTT. Also thinking of making mine out of 80/20 for some weight savings and because I don't own the tools for working with pieces of wood that large.
