4Runner 4th Gen [2003–2009] Drawer System DIY Plans

This all-in-one digital plan set includes everything you need to build a complete dual drawer storage system for your 4th Gen Toyota 4Runner (2003–2009). Detailed cut lists, step-by-step assembly instructions, and printable templates — everything laid out so you can build a clean, functional setup made for storage, overlanding, and adventure.

Hardware and wood are not included. All hardware specifications are listed inside the plans. Looking for a precut or fully built system? Browse available kits here.

What's Included:

• Dual Drawer Box Plans: Build the foundational drawer box with cut lists and detailed assembly instructions. Finished box measures approximately 41" wide (between wheel wells), 39" deep (back door to 2nd row seats), and 8.5" tall. Designed for two pairs of 36" non-locking drawer slides (available in our store).
  Note: Requires removal of the cargo shelf before installation.
• Bed Extension Plans: Extend your sleeping area by over 2 feet with a custom-fit bed extension that connects directly to the drawer system. Creates a nearly 6-foot flat surface when the 2nd row seats are folded down.
• Divider Drawer & False Tops Plans: Add organization with a drawer featuring two dividers that create three compartments (~12" wide each). Includes plans for two false tops that sit flush on the drawer and double as a quick work surface when pulled out.
• Side Cubby Templates: Maximize storage with printable full-size templates (6 pages, 8.5" × 11") for side cubbies that fit beside the drawer box. Tape pages together for full cutting guides. Includes instructions for front and top hinged access panels.

Please Note:

• This is a digital product. Plans are emailed as PDFs immediately after checkout.
• Physical materials and drawer slides are not included unless you add the hardware option at checkout. Those ship separately shortly after purchase.

Thinking about skipping the build and going with the complete system?

Building from plans is a great project — but a lot of people get partway through the research and decide they'd rather just have the finished thing. Here's what you get with the complete SWW Storage System that the plans don't offer:

• The full add-on ecosystem. False Tops, Drawer Dividers, Separators, and the Bed Extension are all designed to fit the complete system — sized and finished to match it exactly. None of these are compatible with the DIY plans. If you want any of those down the road, the complete system is where that option lives.
• HexPly, straight out of the box. Every complete system is CNC-cut from HexPly — a furniture-grade panel material with a durable, water-resistant finish. It arrives looking finished. No staining, no sealing, no extra weekends.
• Stop waiting, start using it. The complete system assembles in a couple of hours with basic tools, no shop required. Instead of adding another project to the list, you're on the road with a functional setup the same week it arrives.
