His design can be altered to fit the rear cargo space of any truck, SUV, or crossover. Everything is built from 3/4-inch plywood, including the storage drawers and platform. Additional hardware includes a piano hinge for the storage top, drawer slides, drawer liners, and a rubber mat cover.

In addition to storing all your gear, this truck cabinet keeps everything concealed from prying eyes, and it’s sturdy enough that you can still carry and hold heavy items on top of it. If you plan on using this for an extended period of time, we recommend securing it to the floor of your SUV which will prevent it from dislodging during an accident.
