Hey guys so I’ve been thinking up a drawer system for some time now. I always come back to the same problem though. How do you protect all your stuff from getting soaked if you go through a deep hole. I live in Florida and there isn’t a time that I go out that I don’t get water in my Cherokee. You never hear about drawer being full of water when they get back to camp in YouTube videos. So what do you guys do?

I've never had this problem.

You'd likely have to build your own, and build it in a way that seals around the drawers, though I'm not entirely sure how you'd accomplish that.

Hmm, I’ve never had the inside of any vehicles soaked and we have done our share of water crossings. I don’t know how the commercial drawer systems are made but mine are boxes, screwed and glued together and would probably float for quite some time before taking on any water. I should go out and measure, but I’m willing to bet that the tops of our lowest drawer, or storage box, is well above a water line that would stall the engine.
