Love the top slide. Great way to integrate it with the enclosure.

Wow, that carpet and aluminum trim really pulls it together. Is the drawer system anchored to the floor at all?

I'm going to start with Herculiner paint on truck bed liner, use metal edging on the top front and sides for protection and to straighten up the edges a bit, then most likely carpet or rubber line the inside of the drawers, and then I have a few ideas for the drawer front but I'm not locked down on that yet. I was going work on it today after work but I forgot to bring the Herculiner with me.

I have made significant progress on my storage drawer build this week. I got the driver side wheel well covers completed. Two section are removable. Giving me access to my compressor and additional storage. I have a 360 degree swivel Air compressor outlet and the control for the 3000 watt inverter built into it.

Looking better and better. I have a few more parts that came in for my drawer build and I'll post up info once complete.
Our builds are going along similar paths and timelines.
If only we lived close to each other.
There would be a garage night every night

So I have actually completely finished my storage and drawer build. Today I completed the wheel wells. Added a lock to the drawer, and installed recessed anchor tie downs. Theses also serve as pulls for the top slides.
