Don't Buy A Truck Bed Slide And Drawers!

This DIY truck bed slide and drawers nearly broke me. It was totally worth it though. Now I can easily access my bug-out and survival gear. 60% OFF + FREE SHIPPING go to GreenChef.com and enter HAXMAN60 bit.ly/3jlASWP! Systems from Decked and ARB were similar to what I wanted but didn't quite suit my needs. I like to keep my truck prepared for any emergency and these truck bed drawers and slide help me achieve that. Plus I was able to keep my molle panels attached to the sides of the truck bed. Keeping appropriate survival gear in the vehicle means I can bug out or get home in an emergency.

Best part of that is your daughter was thinking she was just helping dad. But those memories will be bigger! Plus she’s learning some real skills. Way to go Dad. Insert Trace Atkins song. “She just thinks we’re fishing”

[@violentdawg]

That hit hard you informing us this was the first project since your father's passing, very sorry for your loss... 36yrs old and I have no idea what I'm going to do when that time comes. I too call him for nearly every project and it seems he's always got a simple and effective way to do it causing me to throw out the plans I drew up like a 5yr old lol.

[@ericculver9700]

You will use what he taught you to thrive at whatever needs to be done. Then teach your kids to do the same. That's what my father always said I was going to do. So far, I have made him proud. My advice is to get him to come over more. When you don't have any projects going on. Those are the times you will miss the most. Not a single person on their death bed has ever said I wish I would have worked more or made more money.

[@violentdawg]

@@ericculver9700 Absolutely man! We hang out all the time, projects are our hobbies lol. Growing up my father was a pretty bad alcoholic, except once a year we'd go camping/fishing for one week and he wouldn't drink. But it got worse after his company shut down, long story short he's been completely sober for a few years now and every time him and I are off we're doing something together whether it be working on a project, grilling, or just sitting around shooting the breeze.

[@ericculver9700]

@violentdawg My grandfather and father were both close. Learned a lot from both of them. I have never been to anything past high school. My brother and I are both self-employed and doing very well. They are 200% the only reason we learned trades that no robot is doing in my lifetime. Cherish every moment. And don't ever take him for granted. A long time ago, I was at my dads we were picking on each other. As I was walking out the door, I said oh. F--- you. Well, that night, the chimney on his rice coal stove plugged up and filled his house with carbon monoxide. They life flighted him and my stepmother both. They said your stepmother is going to be fine, your father is gone. By the time we got to the hospital 3 hours away. They were both laughing like nothing happened. I was more bothered by the last thing I thought I was ever going to say to him. Way more than thinking he was gone.

[@fishingismydrug1]

I'm only 1.5 minutes in, already smiling! Your honesty, bluntness, admitting to mistakes - HELL YEAH !

[@kyle88b]

Wish I was more patient with my son when doing projects. Love how you are with your daughter and wife. Bravo sir!

[@irishhandyman2009]

Dont know what your final cost was, but the value in working and playing with your daughter and building memories, PRICELESS. Glad to see there are still some DADS out there. Wish you luck and health.

[@ChrisHiblerPinball]

Your youngest is learning so much from you with these projects. Well done. On the other hand, when she starts dating, many many years from now, she will be much more capable than anyone she meets. It continually surprises me how little practical knowledge people are taught these days. Or how little desire they have to learn.

[@HAXMAN]

Thanks! We try to make an effort to involve our girls in everything we do so they can learn. That’s what my parents did.

[@mjd_double-ya3904]

20 seconds in and can't thank you enough for restoring my hope in these projects. Just built van racking and multiple drawers set up and a lot of head scratching and profanities got me through it. I'm not the sharpest tool in the box but neither am I the dullest. Watching the average build video and they make it look a breeze, which had me questioning my competence. I guess if you're looking to do a build that is specific to your needs and high quality, then the stress levels rise.

[@oic165]

Condolences about your dad, you did em proud though. Your family, business, both awesome, what else is there? Just found your channel not too long ago, love it. Binge watching like a mad man.

[@HAXMAN]

Thank you

[@davidward1259]

My work Tahoe had a "Truck Vault" in it. They have models that don't go all the way to the sides. Even the pre-made units can be a pain to install properly, but those drawers sure nice once it is in. I added some D-ring tie down points to the side of mine and it let me strap down stuff I put on top of it to keep the stuff from sliding around.

[@RanchExplorerHQ]

Luv to see you and your daughter working together on this one! It looks great! Awesome job team! 😊👍 Enjoy the humor in your videos too, and of course the 🐥💩! 🤷🏼‍♀️ Thank you for sharing!

[@HAXMAN]

[@marklundeen1025]

Loved watching this video. I think it’s super cool you having your daughter help out with your project. I can sympathize with your work station. I have not even a one car garage so I do all my projects in the driveway. It makes it hard to get motivated sometimes. I just finished a bedslide project myself. Yours turned out really nice. I kept a hoe to get the stuff in the front of the bed. As for the chip guard on your track saw mine did the same thing I used some 1/32” double sided tape (VHB tape). Fixed it.

[@virgil3241]

I bought a bed slide for my Avalanche 9 years ago. Best thing ever, used it for camping and my acreage. And now for the city, its still awesome. I bought mine that was made for my truck though, so install was 30 minutes and the best $1000 I ever spent. Could I of built it myself, probably. And then years would of passed because I wouldn't of. Sometimes money is well spent. But an awesome job

[@Lapeerphoto]

I love your videos and your honesty, silliness, workmanship! Always a fun video experience, even if the topic is of no interest. This is a topic of interest!! I need these so bad. and the ready-to-buy options are too damn much $$$. Thanks

[@HAXMAN]

I'm so glad to hear that! Thank you!

[@frankparsley1913]

Great vids. The splinter guard can be reattached with carpet tape. When they get chewed up, you can pull them off and move them over about an eighth of an inch and it’s like new. The last time I bought one, I got the makita and it seems to stick better.

[@jessejames1395]

Do you have any rough measurements, I absolutely love that setup, I have a truck on 37 inch tires and this would make getting to things in the bed so much better

[@chrisharshbarger5844]

I like bed liner--used it on my exterior doors on my utility buildings. AND I am starting to cover an old truck in bed liner. ALOT cheaper than a shiny fancy paint job!

[@incysor]

Great job persevering! Wonderful lesson for your little helpers. I don't have any little helpers, (No matter what the Cat's and Dog's claim, they're useless.), or your years of cabinetry-building experience. I had to go with a set of used deck drawers. 😆

[@TexasNana2]

Great project 👍 and you are an amazing dad❣🙋‍♀️

[@realcleanecspressurewashin6387]

Thank you for the idea sir. I have a bedslide i wanted to modify and add draws to it.

[@Jay_the_Caffeinator]

SO glad to see a video from you. I was getting worried how the homestead was doing. I really like this project. It makes me want a truck again. Last one I had was an '86 F-150 Regular cab, long bed, front & back fuel tanks, 4 speed with a creeper gear. AH, I do not miss the 12MPG it got. I can't believe the chickens didn't poop on the driveway on Day 5. I think they are slipping. ;)

[@krickette5569]

Great build! There's a family out of Canada, Gridlessness, who are overlanding in the states right now. They did a complete retro fit of their truck for the trip. They have drawers similar to yours as well as solar panels on the side of the truck and all sorts of other stuff. You might enjoy having a look at what they did.

[@HAXMAN]

I’ll check it out. I’ve watched their channel before but not recently. Thanks!

[@jenniferbinder8663]

I began watching y’all for the chicken content. Thanks for all the good info laced with grins and giggles. Folks take themselves too seriously these days. I watched this one and, dang! Watching you and your daughter build that together, I found myself watching and crying. What a lovely family. We have 2 grown daughters and now 2 great sons in law of our own. Though the days are long and sometimes slow, the years go by so fast. Be so thankful you have this video record of the daily moments that make our normal everyday lives remarkable and ever so special. Moments like these, playing tic-tac-toe during a project are rare and worth more than gold. You’ll realize this even more keenly when your babies have flown your coop. You and Kim are rich, with wealth no one can measure. God bless you.

[@HAXMAN]

Thank you so much Jennifer. I realize more everyday how time flies and how I’m running out time to make memories. I’m trying my best to make the most of it.

[@jenniferbinder8663]

@@HAXMAN You are both doing a good job. We laughed and laughed watching your kids paint the chicken run you were building. “Look at the joy on their faces!” If your children are happy about every parenting choice you do, ya might wanna rethink your approach. But they should respect you. Sometimes parents need to be strong enough to make the right choice, not the popular choice. Good job.

[@ritterjon]

💥 I’ve been thinking of doing something similar to that, without the chickens however. Need to make my truck bed more functional. Sorry about the loss of your dad. *Keep on tractoring!*
