To begin, I never thought I'd get this into building my 4x4 Sequoia. I originally purchased it for going on trips with my family and having a comfortable ride with space to spare.
After time, I installed a 3 inch lift on the front and back & 33" AT3Ws. Now, I'm currently working on 2 projects, which is this custom rear cabinet, and a custom roof rack (to save on cost, as some are available).
Some inspirations for my build were:
1. Overland Wanstlust : Video
2. Ultimate DIY Camp Kitchen by Dave : Link To Thread & Video
Considerations of my build:
1. I'd like to have a multi drawer system similar to Dave's where the stove is already setup, & cutting boards.
2. It will be made out of Birch Plywood that is 1/2" thick & 1/4" thick (for some pieces)
3. I'd like customizability for the divider system.
4. I'd like to be able to have options for the drawer system, and stackable drawer systems.
Software & Manufacturing Method
1. Google SketchUp (learning as I go)
2. It will be Laser Cut, as I have access to that. I considered just cutting it, like Wanderlust overland, but I am afraid I'm not as handy with wood working.
Here's my first mockup
