Tonneau Void Drawer for R1T

[VFUNARI]

From what I can tell it’s just not designed to be a water tight space. I think the water comes from the gaps in the trim above.

Expandable confirming Water bladder?

What are the chances of manufacturing a replacement bed panel panel with a built-in drawer?

love this idea, specifically for recovery related equipment!

Not zero, but a ways off at least.

While what I really wish I could fit in this space is a tonneau, preferably powered, I know more than a few of us are wanting to reclaim this unused space. I was considering a water tank, but the cost was pretty high and I don’t want to be responsible for one leaking in someone else’s truck.

So I’ve been tinkering with this drawer set up. Installation takes about 15 minutes, but I’ve done it too many times at this point, so it could be closer to an hour. The set up I have right now is some brackets I designed and 3D printed, drawer slides, door closers, aluminum pegboard, and some shock cord. There’s not a lot of clearance in the space, and it’s not totally weatherproof. In the couple weeks I’ve had it installed the drawer slides have shown a little rust, and some of my stuff has been wet when I’ve pulled it out.

I’m more than willing to help anyone else get a similar setup, if they’re interested. I don’t have anything up for sale on the website yet, and I feel like this is still a bit of a rough draft rather than a polished product. It could be lockable, but a hole would need to be drilled into the back panel.

Hopefully that didn’t void your warranty ?

Great idea to make use of that space! I will be following.

I have one of those, except it isn't in my T and it is usually full of a water-like fluid.
