This video details the rear cargo bed platform and drawer storage system that I built in my 3rd gen (02) 4runner. This is a low-cost and relatively simple build that my father and I completed in one day. I tried to include as many details as possible, but know that I certainly missed some instructions. Don't hesitate to reach out if you need any additional clarification.
DISCLAIMER: I am by no means a carpenter. Enjoy the video, and definitely let me know if you have any questions!
