      There’s tie-down loops on the side of the bed. I just have big bolts that go thru the loop and screw directly into the ends of the horizontal 2x4s of the storage shelve. It’s attached in three points.

    When I read “long consumables”, I was half-expecting to see a 6’ party sub or something 😂

    As an electrician, I respect it. Make your work vehicle work for you as much as possible.

    Please don’t look in the back of my van, it’s a nightmare <3

      My old Electrician Boss was like this. Shit randomly thrown anywhere in the truck cab and bed. I started organizing it with recycle totes. But a few jobs later it would be a disaster again. He didn’t quite realizetheat saving 30 seconds tossing stuff anywhere when packing up,turned to 5 minutes searching for thwt item when on site.

    I’ve been considering a similar setup for overlanding. I just need to set it up in a way that the whole kit is removable, but I can still strap it down to the tie down points in my 4Runner.

      This setup is designed in a way that it can be quickly removed as well. The thing with the drawers is just held down with a single ratchet strap. Once you remove that it slides right out. The shelve on the other hand is held down with 3 bolts attached to the tie down points on the side of the bed. This can all be taken out in around 10 minutes.

      Yeah, I only have my standard bit holder and a long ass one. Too much is always enough is my motto.

    Nice. I’m sure it makes a big difference, keeping stuff out of the way.

    Though I don’t know that I’d trust those nails/screws to handle the dynamic loads of a vehicle. I’d want the vertical supports directly under loads, so the fasteners just keep things together.

    A friend made a ply tray on small ball rollers for stuff up in the front. He puts toolboxes on it, the tray has a lip so they stay in place, and he uses a piece of cord to pull it out. Ingenious. But I really like those drawers of yours.
