Finally got the topper installed so I am beginning the build of my drawers in the back. I saw that you can buy them but they're way to much money and this way I can make it how I want them. If anyone has any pictures or ideas on it I'd appreciate it. I will try to take pictures of what progress I have made tomorrow just to show you guys the general direction I'm headed. I do a lot of hunting and fishing so I plan on doing a lot of sleeping in the back.

Gonna bookmark this thread. Definetely want to see what you come up with. I am STRONGLY considering the topper and the drawers would be a great feature too.

So I finally finished my drawers! Took long enough but very happy with how they turned out. Only thig better would've been if I had a spray in bed liner. Damn drop in made it so hard to measure.

Actually no tracks at all. I was going to use a type of wax my dad was telling me about but I tried them without and they slide just fine. I made the drawers a little less then a 1/4" shorter then the drawer box. So it helps with them having room to slide.

Used 2x8's to made the frame, 3/4" plywood on top and 1/2" on the bottom. Then just added little pockets in between the wheel wells to support the side boards. I can take more pics later to show all the little bits of it. Just was excited to finish it all haha
