Thanks for watching and commenting Hope it helps with your build. That design has worked really well for me. I would probably eliminate the top door/hatch part if I made it again. Never really use it and with a locking tailgate not having that hatch makes the drawer secure. Good luck. TbT
Thanks. Honestly if I made it again I would not even add that hatch portion. It doesn’t serve much purpose since it holds kitchen gear so you have access when it’s slid out and it makes it much more secure when the tailgate is closed and locked. Thanks for watching and commenting. TbT
Nice build - you did a pro job, there. For my own use, I think I will set the stove on pair of strong magnetic mounts I have. Just so it can be held in place but removed if I want to cook away from the truck. That’s just for my use, though, no criticism of your build. 👍🏻
Thanks! Yeah, that’s a great idea. I like when people take my ideas and make them better or more suited to their style. It gives me more ideas/options to improve my own builds down the road. I hope your build comes out great. Thanks for watching and commenting. Good luck. TbT.
That was awesome. Here is my idea based on what you did, Since i have Tent made for my truck bed i think i can do something like it but on a swing out platform.
Thanks man. Hope they help you dial in your rig. Good luck on your builds. Let me know if you have any questions and I’ll try to help. Thanks for watching and commenting. TbT.
Like it I just completed something similar. What did you use to for the small orange hose coming out of the stove? Can’t find anything to replace the 45 bracket that comes with the stove.
That’s the hose (orange) that came with my stove. I’ve had that stove for 20+ years and can’t remember who makes it actually. The orange hose connects to the stove and has the typical green bottle propane size fitting on the other end. I just connected a newer style propane hose to that and connect to my 5 pound tank from there. Hope you figure yours out. Good luck. Thanks for watching and commenting. TbT.
Yeah, maybe a little, but the only items in there will be kitchen items so when I need those it’ll likely be pulled out. Thanks for watching and stay safe out there. TbT
This is great and something I may try to also do to my Tacoma. Can you provide information on specifically what bracket you used to connect the system to bed rail. Mahalo!
Thanks for watching. I used an Ikea shelf bracket (Part : Antonius 18886) I had several laying around the garage and it worked perfectly. It is 14" tall so anything similar would work I think. Stay safe out there, TbT.
Thanks ! I’m not sure, but I’m working on a new addition to it ( a kitchen drawer) now. When I have it all out, I’ll weigh it and get back to you soon. If I had to guess... empty just the stove drawer and drawer box alone about 25/30 pounds. Thanks for watching. I’ll do an actual weight soon. ✌🏻
Thanks! The Tacoma has a bed accessory rail that you can basically mount anything you want to it. I built the propane tank holder to my specific needs so it would line up with the bed rail system. Thanks for watching.
Thanks, it works great. No issues so far it’s pretty solid, but it rarely rains in SoCal. If I was to do it over I’d eliminate the hinged hatch on the top, no real use for it and it would keep it more water resistant and dust proof. Also make sure you polyurethane the outside and it will be water resistant for sure. Good luck.
Awesome build! Been brainstorming some ideas for my own stove/storage build. Would you mind sharing the overall dimensions of the whole box? Thanks for sharing!
Thanks and thanks for watching. The box is 59.5” long (full bed length) and is 16 1/8th” wide at the stove end (built to fit my specific stove dimensions) and 5.5” tall (just about a strong 16th taller than my stove height). The storage area is 11 1/8th“ wide. Most important thing is to make the sizing off your specific stove dims. Good luck and stay safe out there. TbT.
Thanks. Mostly plywood. The other wood I used to surround the stove was poplar. It’s easier to finish smoothly. Thanks for watching and commenting. TbT
I would use at least 5/8 on the top and sides of the box and 1/2 on the bottom of the box to save weight. Use Baltic Birch ply. It’s light and strong. Same for the drawer. Unfortunately ply wood is insanely expensive right now. The Baltic Birch isn’t too bad though. Good luck with your build.
Thanks for watching and commenting. I’d say about 50-60$, but I think I made this from leftover plywood so I’m just estimating. Plywood, screws, paint, a few bolts and some miscellaneous parts like the shelf bracket I had laying around... I would estimate the cost above is close to accurate. I would stain and coat with polyurethane if I was going to do again. The paint scratches a little too easily. I’m going to put some polyurethane over the paint and see if that helps a bit. I have another “kitchen drawer build ” video I’m working on now where I stained and polyurethaned and I like the results better than the paint. Good luck with your build. Stay safe out there. TbT
So simple…..I love it! Thanks for the inspiration!

Came up nice. I would have put a piano hinge on the lid though.

Very cool build.
Thanks, much appreciated. Stay safe out there. TbT.
Nice work 👍
Thanks 👍🏼.
Love the build, looks like a great addition. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks. Yes, I agree it should help step up the camp dinners for sure. Thanks for watching.
Sick!!!!🎉
Thanks brah ! 🤙🏼

Excellent idea on magnets ….thanks

Cool! Glad it inspired your build. Hope it comes out great. Thanks for watching and commenting and stay safe out there. TbT
Great build! Do you have a pop up camper above the bed as well? Great video. Thanks for sharing
Thanks. I’m building the camper now. Check out all the vids in the series if you can. Thanks for watching and commenting. TbT
Bruhh, great content!!! I'm on the 5th vid, my 🌮 is about to get some DIY cosmetics 😆...
New Sub...here
Thanks man. Hope they help you dial in your rig. Good luck on your builds. Let me know if you have any questions and I’ll try to help. Thanks for watching and commenting. TbT.
@@TravelingbyTacoma i probably will have more questions 😆... im gonna start with the self dispensing water jug thing..

@@TravelingbyTacoma thanks for the reply! Yeah seems like they all come with a metal fitting that connects to the stove unfortunately.
nice job! only issue is the compartment is gonna be tough to get to from the outside of the bed
Yeah, maybe a little, but the only items in there will be kitchen items so when I need those it’ll likely be pulled out. Thanks for watching and stay safe out there. TbT

@@TravelingbyTacoma Thank you!
nice
Thanks for watching, commenting and the nice words. Glad you liked it. Stay safe out there. TbT
Beautiful work. Any idea how much it weights without the propane and burner?
Thanks ! I’m not sure, but I’m working on a new addition to it ( a kitchen drawer) now. When I have it all out, I’ll weigh it and get back to you soon. If I had to guess... empty just the stove drawer and drawer box alone about 25/30 pounds. Thanks for watching. I’ll do an actual weight soon. ✌🏻
Closer to 42-45#s empty. A bit hefty, but worth the weight for usability and organizational purposes. ✌🏻
@@TravelingbyTacoma You're awsome man, thanks for doing that for us. Yea it seems worth it for sure.
Great looking build! How did you mount the propane bracket to the side of the bed? Thank you for sharing your build.
Thanks! The Tacoma has a bed accessory rail that you can basically mount anything you want to it. I built the propane tank holder to my specific needs so it would line up with the bed rail system. Thanks for watching.
Great build. Was thinking along this line. Was worried about water intrusion and damage over time. Any issues with your build?
Thanks, it works great. No issues so far it’s pretty solid, but it rarely rains in SoCal. If I was to do it over I’d eliminate the hinged hatch on the top, no real use for it and it would keep it more water resistant and dust proof.

@@TravelingbyTacoma Appreciate the help! I’m excited to get started and see more of your mods/adventures!
#travelingbytacoma Sweeeeet!!! Draw set up. What type of wood did you use? It looks like you used two different types in the video
Thanks. Mostly plywood. The other wood I used to surround the stove was poplar. It’s easier to finish smoothly. Thanks for watching and commenting. TbT
#travelingbytacoma forgot to ask how thick of ply wood did you use?
I would use at least 5/8 on the top and sides of the box and 1/2 on the bottom of the box to save weight. Use Baltic Birch ply. It’s light and strong. Same for the drawer. Unfortunately ply wood is insanely expensive right now. The Baltic Birch isn’t too bad though. Good luck with your build.
@@TravelingbyTacoma sweeeeet!! Thanks brutha look forward to building this for my TACOOO!!!
Awesome build and one Im going to pull a few ideas from! Any idea what your total cost was in just materials?
