Looks really good. One day I'm going to potentially give some drawers a crack myself.

How much roughly were your costs ?

[Smoothrun]

Ive gotta sort that out but can say ive spent $800 and probably need about $300 to finish my sons Navara. Havin said that the slides x 3 sets handles and marine carpet cost me $550. Leftover carpet will fit my 500ltr trailer toolbox and solar panel roadcase im making.

Wow, very nice job looks bloody profesh. At least you've got somewhere to store the dog on long trips!! Fits perfect!! Does look good with the carpet inside the drawers.

That's a top job mate, well done.

very nice professional looking job mate and tailor made for the dog too

Thanks Rossco. Yeah for the cost of the extra carpet it pays off. Its not hard to work with. The dog fell asleep dissapointed after finding hed chewed through me trailer plug wiring including anderson for battery. Shoulda banged a lid on it whilst i had the chance. Lol

How did you fix the carpet to the timber? it looks like a really neat job.

Thanks ive used it before it works good on rubber. As far as bending the carpet i sanded the edges real quickly then i used an iron and ttowel and steamed it. Makes it real easy and it keeps its shape 20141129_093209.jpg
