Man that sucks.
That guy came in like a venture capitalist and stole your IP.
Glad to hear you are still here making cool stuff, was concerned you may have been injured or sick with the silence.
I managed to buy a few this summer, ten to be exact. We used two in camp kitchen builds (one LC100, one 5th gen 4 runner). They are awesome, and work beautifully. The bluetooth control / monitor is super handy too. We are selling the extra units we have locally in Calgary, Canada for $500 cdn.
Changed vehicles (went from a Mitsubishi Delica to a Toyota Land Cruiser 100), and changed
Up the design. Went with fridge drawer, stacked parallel drawers, 450 lb sliders, 3/4” baltic birch with nylon veneer, full steel frame. Took inspiration from a few directions!
Also, made a version...
Thanks.
Dave has been really selfless, and not only made this great forum thread, but privately gave me some guidance.
All the wood is Baltic birch, amazing product. The panels are 1/4” and have five plies, the top is 5/8” with eleven plies. Very similar to marine grade plywoods. Then a...
Finally got the lift up lid done. Learned lots about their function, limitations. Really happy with how it turned out. Thanks again for the inspiration!
I was reading through this thread in the spring, but just muscled the tent up on top with help from the father in law. But, since I almost killed him (the new hardshell is close to 200lbs), I had to come up with something mechanically advantageous for in the fall.
I wanted to use a hoist, and...
We got this van last year, and was not sure we were going to to anything to the interior. But, after the off road market went skyrocketing this year, and pushed vehicles to double in price, we decided to make this work for us, and will likely be a good sale once we move on.
How it arrived...

they offer all the profiles, and cutting in fractional lengths, and end bores. Unfortunately they don't to end tap's, so you will have to end tap all your pieces.
got mine mostly together. was somewhat like your first wooden version. We did 32" sliders to keep it under the rear hatch in case of rain. Did 1/4" Baltic birch stained and poly. fabricated some interface brackets, one up top, one underneath (extra strength on the point of greatest...
So, aluminum and fasteners arrived this week. Started to assemble today. Took on some more lessons today as well. Lesson #1; being super accurate, and winging it at the same time, doesn’t meet happily in the middle. Lesson #2; cheap chinese tap kit, and no cutting fluid, gets you an opportunity...
super cool rig. I am going to take inspiration from your build as well. Just doing a smaller 30" pull out, for a camp stove, and some storage / lights / cutting board. the lights and power is easy (being an electrician, and doing tons of custom led millwork installs).
I am going to source...
