There's a step by step guide too if that tickles your fancy

Heres the drawer i put together for it, once i start filling it up ill figure out where/if i need partitions.

I made the drawer 24" wide, so ive got close to 24" open to put folding chairs, shade tents, bootlegged jars of moonshine, you name it

Edit *boxes of moonpies* not sure how that got there

No wheels, but it drags in and out easy and wont roll around while im driving

Really dig the ability to access gear bins without having to go outside, thats definitely a nice feature.

head room is of utmost importance in a camper shell setup. Wishin I had bought one of those tall shells....so I dont care for designs with the raised bed racks. 8' truck beds are also a +

Heres my setup. Storage built on sides, with a Semi truck mattress on some carpeted boards in the middle. Have a deep cycle battery and 1200 watt inverter for power. Smart isolator uses truck's alternator to keep deep cycle charged up. With the truck off I can power 12 volt fans, lights and charge stuff. With the truck running I can run power tools, coffee maker, foreman etc.
For when you get into powering things

How easy is it to dissassemble that setup, specifically the nice carpeted drawers/stand tbing on the sides of your bed?

Is it a nonissue for you, or a downside to that design (if its hard to take out)

about a 15 minute process. The boxes are held in by a couple turnbuckles connected to my truck's cargo tiedown hooks.

That was a major deal for me. I wanted to install/remove super fast. If I get a kitchen pass for a quick trip... I need to be able to load up and leave before she changes her mind lololol

Before and after lining the inside of the cab - we ran out of time on the one blank spot ill touch it up later, but it turned out great.

Finished painting too! All I like is one more coat for good measure, but she's road ready.

I tried gloss black first, but it looked pretty rough so i resanded and went with truck bedliner.
