Re: Rear storage / Sleeping platform
Looks like a good start. There seems to be a lot of room in the back of the rig. Sorry to sidetrack the build but is your son's jeep being painted desert tan?

Yes I am leaving the seats in. The platform will extend over them. The white pieces are UHMW hopefully the drawers will slide better on them. The drawers will be made out of plywood too

Amazing how much room one of those things has in it. That will be a slick setup. The UHMW should work very well. If it doesn't do it with just one side (not sure if your doing it both bottom of shell and bottom of drawer) Id say put it so that two pieces are sliding against each other.

Fancy Scott. Do you plan on sealing the wood at all? How do the drawers work on your plastic slides?

I will seal them. Just not sure with what yet. Slides work excellent

I like it. basically what i am doing to mine just not as high by the looks.
That's a nifty idea for slides. i might use that! Actual heavy duty slides were to much for my taste.
