DIY 4Runner drawer build

[CoastieMo]

Spent some time researching different drawer systems and decided to get handy during this quarantine and made my own prototype drawer system. Worked some kinks out and still have a few more to figure out, but she works well!

@KRose is this what you want me to build?

@M Rose yes except I want to be able to remove it.

@KRose

Should be no problem to remove. Undo the 2 turnbuckles and if they have it bolted down at the body mount points behind the back seat unbolt the 2 bolts.
Then just slide the setup out. My similar setup is about 125lbs so take it easy when moving.

Looks great thinking of doing something like that, got a 4th gen too. Just joined up so I haven't taken the rig out yet. Hope to see some of you guys out on the trails soon. Right now concentrating on making it trailworthy.

@KRose, I made it quitre simple to remove! there are 4 turnbuckles two on the back and two on the sides. the drawer housing weighs about ~30lbs i used 3/4 hardwood plywood throughout. the drawers maybe weigh 6-8lbs each empty.

@CoastieMo, sounds easy to remove. Thanks for sharing.

@Teng 86 there are quite a few plans floating around for the 4th gen body. Just a simple google search and they're there. Just be sure that the schematics are for correct gen!

Check out the plans from @TheAdventureIndex. I started with his plan and modified them to be more like the system in this thread to fit my needs. They came out great and are one of my favorite additions to my 4th Gen.

The Drawer Plans are finally out! After many efforts and delays, I am happy to announce to everyone that the drawer plans are finally out! This is a modular system designed for use in the 4th gen 4Runner that I built for myself. This means if someone wants to build just one part of the 4 part...
