Made a nice little trunk drawer this weekend. Absolutely love it! Makes my rig smell great too!

 

That's pretty efficient. Might consider installing a lock so you keep all your belongings within in the event of a break in. Also, did you secure it to the floor somehow? Might need to do that to keep it from bouncing around like a kid in the back of a bus, lol... Looks great though, sturdy and solid!

 

Looks pretty nice, good choice with the sliders

also might consider sealing it with some stain or something, otherwise any water/oil/etc can warp it or make it swell

 

Planning on carpeting it once all the cedar smell has dissipated. I cut the wood so that it would be wedged between wheel wells. Also it is screwed to 2x4s on the bottom mainly so the drawer clears the latch. Lock is coming! Can't find a low profile enough one. Space is TIGHT!

 

Try this out for a lock. I installed these on my false floor build. They're low profile, and should work nicely for you. Just install above your handle, and then install some type of a catch for the latch to grab. The second link is basically what I used for a catch for my lock. Both were cheap, and work amazingly well for the little bit of additional security I was seeking.

These can be purchased for almost any wood depth, 1/2", 3/4", etc.

I found smaller ones than these here, but should give you the idea.

Had never thought about doing an internal locking mechanism! Awesome! Thank you!

 

nice work. i was thinking of doing this but havent decided yet.

 

gonna knock this out this weekend i think with 2 drawers, my cargo area is trashed lol

 

Buy the 24" runners at home depot for 16 bucks a set. Jam your baseboard in between the wheel wells so that you dont have to anchor to the floor/gas tank.

Have fun! Buy a nice cedar, makes your jeep smell good!!!

 

Looks good kind of like mine

 

i want a write up for that ^^^

 

Either way im gonna mount mine in some fashion. Gonna have alot of heavy tools in it and if it gets wild I don't want it to come un-wedged

 

x2

 

Mine doesn't have a drawer, rather flip top lids, but I did a drawing with some measurements/specs that some of you might find useful to get started on your own (for those who've yet to do their own build).
