Need storage space for your guns and gear, but don’t want to pay out the ass? We took a weekend to put together this storage solution for less than $250.
Now, you could just go out and buy a set of sliding drawers. Nothing wrong with that, and there are plenty of good companies who’ll gladly take your cash for an off-the-shelf product that’ll fit the bill. When you have a vehicle with other modifications, however, finding something tha’ll work with say, a roll cage or existing hardware like toolboxes or saddle tanks, then things start to get a bit spendy, as you’re now deep into the realm of the non-standard accessory. Or you could be like us, and just feel like paying in time rather than money is the way to go, and wish that Heinlein had added, “make a truck box,” to his list of stuff a man should be able to do.
We put this together over the course of a weekend, while taking plenty of breaks for important stuff like hitting the range and gym, as well as the inevitable Home Depot runs to pick up stuff we forgot. We’re giving you a complete list of hardware, as well as schematics for the critical items, so you don’t have that excuse.
