I bought the HD locking slides to create a set of drawer slides for my Toyota Tacoma, using a locking set for the outside and non locking for the inside, so it would be easier to get to the stuff in my truck without having to climb into the truck bed at my age or when I am tired and thirsty after a long MTB ride, haha.. I got the base idea from a guy on Tacoma World ( https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/project-diy-truck-bed-pullout-kitchen-and-bs.507185/page-4#post-16105633 ) and used 5/16 RevNuts to mount the base to the truck bed in the front (x4) and at the back (x2) so when I have to remove it, it's only 6 bolts and they are all easily accessible. I believe the RevNuts will hold in the composite bed up near the front, although I do not plan to test the HD capacity by climbing on the extended pull outs slides. The base and the slide bottoms are made from 6061 2"x2" aluminum from a Fab shop guy I know i bought in 10' lengths and 12mm plywood I picked up at the local big box orange store. It is all held together with 1/4-20 tee-nuts (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09DKV9MWY?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1) and 3/4" Hex bolts (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TJN6L2J?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1) . I was planning to buy the angle brackets from Vandania , but they were out of stock and I needed to get the build done, so I made them out of the 6061 aluminum. However, I would highly recommend buying the Vandania made mounting brackets to eliminate a bunch of cutting and drilling. I mounted the slides as recommended (Pull up to unlock) so a random piece of gear would not fall on them and unlock the slide at an inopportune moment. Having one on each side makes it easier to actuate the slide, rather than one on the outside and another in the middle. They are different width slides to accommodate my Yeti 45 and MTB gear while leaving a lot of room on the wider side to store/carry other stuff. Between the 2 center slides (none locking slide rails) I used a flat sided tee-nut (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TJN6L2J?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1) and a bit longer hex bolt. The slide decks are covered with 1/8 rubber diamond plate and the handles are made from an old gym bag I had laying around mounted with the same tee-nuts. Overall I only lost 1 1/4 " of height in my bed under my Truck Cover USA rolling bed cover, while most I saw online ready to install were 4 1/2" or so of lost space, which I could not afford with my Yeti. The 12mm ply for the drawer bottoms were rounded with a 1/4 router bit to fit nicely into the 6061 angle. I used 6061 for the strength over the easier to work with 6063 aluminum that has crisp edges/corners. All the aluminum was cut with my chop saw and a 80 tooth carbide blade. The corners are 45 degree mitered and locked in with the 12mm ply and tee-nuts/bolts. See more pic's on the non-locking HD slide page.

I got the base idea from a guy on Tacoma World ( https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/project-diy-truck-bed-pullout-kitchen-and-bs.507185/page-4#post-16105633 ) and used 5/16 RevNuts to mount the base to the truck bed in the front (x4) and at the back (x2) so when I have to remove it, it's only 6 bolts and they are all easily accessible. I believe the RevNuts will hold in the composite bed up near the front, although I do not plan to test the HD capacity by climbing on the extended pull outs slides. The base and the slide bottoms are made from 6061 2"x2" aluminum from a Fab shop guy I know i bought in 10' lengths and 12mm plywood I picked up at the local big box orange store. It is all held together with 1/4-20 tee-nuts (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09DKV9MWY?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1) and 3/4" Hex bolts (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TJN6L2J?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1) . I was planning to buy the angle brackets from Vandania , but they were out of stock and I needed to get the build done, so I made them out of the 6061 aluminum. However, I would highly recommend buying the Vandania made mounting brackets to eliminate a bunch of cutting and drilling. I mounted the slides as recommended (Pull up to unlock) so a random piece of gear would not fall on them and unlock the slide at an inopportune moment. Having one on each side makes it easier to actuate the slide, rather than one on the outside and another in the middle. They are different width slides to accommodate my Yeti 45 and MTB gear while leaving a lot of room on the wider side to store/carry other stuff. Between the 2 center slides (none locking slide rails) I used a flat sided tee-nut (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TJN6L2J?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1) and a bit longer hex bolt. The slide decks are covered with 1/8 rubber diamond plate and the handles are made from an old gym bag I had laying around mounted with the same tee-nuts. Overall I only lost 1 1/4 " of height in my bed under my Truck Cover USA rolling bed cover, while most I saw online ready to install were 4 1/2" or so of lost space, which I could not afford with my Yeti. The 12mm ply for the drawer bottoms were rounded with a 1/4 router bit to fit nicely into the 6061 angle. I used 6061 for the strength over the easier to work with 6063 aluminum that has crisp edges/corners. All the aluminum was cut with my chop saw and a 80 tooth carbide blade. The corners are 45 degree mitered and locked in with the 12mm ply and tee-nuts/bolts. See more pic's on the non-locking HD slide page.

Pre-drilling is a crucial step when working with pan head screws, especially in hard or dense materials such as hardwood or metal, which helps to prevent the material from splitting and ensures a secure fit for the screw. Here are some key considerations:
