ABOUT ME I grew up in a cabinet shop and was born to be a woodworker. In the past few years when work slowed in the custom cabinet industry, I converted a few friend's Vans and SUV's so they had more storage for adventuring, work, or just the weekend beach getaway. Before I knew it I had my own business making people's ideas come to life. I design and build all kinds of custom woodwork and vehicles here at my shop in Huntington Beach, California!

Thank you! The instructions that came with my slides were useless -- this is exactly what I need

Great tips from a true professional. Thanks for the insight on installing the slides, measuring the ID, then building the drawer box. That’s the gold right there.

Super helpful video! Thanks man! I'm installing the 56" version and I'm not gonna lie I was pretty intimidated before watching this!

Amazing tutorial, man. Just what I needed. Thanks for all the tips throughout. Many YouTube videos skip explaining what drill bits and shims etc that they're using, assuming we know. Thank you!!

In the planning stages in building my own bed storage boxes, etc for my Hilux, thought I'd see what's out there on you tube, yours set up in my opinion are the best going round, thanks for sharing. Greetings from West coast down under

Nice work. I use long paint sticks to shim my drawers...these give about 1/8" clearance between the drawer bottom and base and pretty much support the entire length of the drawer bottom. I do like those sex bolts though...the screws that come with drawer slides are pretty useless. One suggestion...maybe consider using a flat washer on the inside of the drawer to keep the screw head from crushing the plywood...doesn't look like the screw flange is wide enough.

I wanted to suggest to those utilizing the slides that you may have to install these a little higher up on your vertical portion of your boxes to avoid rubbing the tailgate. I ended up going 1.5" (thickness of a 2 by) to ensure I had good clearance. Thanks to Brian for answering all my questions and the great content.

First of all I just wanna say, this is what every other truck build video leaves out. Thank you so much for going into detail, I’m only left with one question. Do you use the same holes when you install the slides on the right hand side, as well as the same sex bolts or do you offset the installations? For the middle “1” by”.

[mathewjon]

You are so bloody good at what you do mate

[mediaupload]

Thanks for the video, the level of detail and the parts you used. This is very helpful.

[systemthinker]

Excellent attention to detail sir, thank you.

[williamlucrisia]

Hey Brother, nice work. I get all that part... Perhaps you could do a vid on the drawer front detail. How you go about getting the slide lever through its face. Again nice work.

Put a scap piece of ply on the backside and you won't get the blowout when you drill your holes for the slides.

[malcolmhay]

Thanks Brian exactly what I wanted to see.
