Julian's 2021 TRD Pro Build

Build Update 07/12/21 – Custom GFC Cabinet


This was a fun one and my father gets all the credit for the build. We designed and added in a single drawer and cubby on the fridge shelf to remove my two camping bins from the equation (Visible in second picture). All of my camping goods are now elevated off the bed and in the truck and ready to go at all times.

The build out for this cabinet was a precision job to clear the fridge’s control panel, GFC mounting hardwear, GFC lock, GFC crossbar, and my VRNCLR frame bag.

The bottom drawer is the full width and depth of the shelf, as is the upper cubby. (We opt’d for a cubby up top vs. a second drawer for less weight). We also sank the cubby’s lid to create a safe contained surface for things like keys, phones, etc. that can easily be accessed from both the outside and inside of bed when at camp.

We painted the exterior of the cabinet black to blend into it’s surroundings and the drawer faces a flat/vintage USFS-esque green color.

Absolutely thrilled with how this turned out. It’s perfect. Still need to add some final finishing touches:

• Drawer pull hardware
• Perhaps some hooks on exterior side to hold things towels, etc.
• Maybe a bottle opener? Magnetic bar?
