    Yesss! 2 years later, and you're the first one to notice, or comment on it at least. These drawers weren't built for this truck, but we still wanted to use the truck for this video shoot because it fit the overland look. Me and the truck owner stressed out whether viewers would notice it hanging off the tailgate or not, but decided to send it anyways.

    how do you like the dr350se? I have a 1996 near me that i'm considering going to look at. Do you think its worth it to hold out for a '98 or '99 for the better suspension? or is it better to just find any DR350 SE that is in good condition with low mileage. TIA for any advice or inisght.

  • @SamChou
    @SamChou14 күн бұрын

    I wholeheartedly believe the DR350SE is one of the best dual sports ever made. I've never ridden one with the upgraded suspension, but I'm of the belief that obsessing over suspension is a bit overblown. These bikes are getting increasingly more rare, so you'd have to wait a long long while to find a 98 or 99. So go for the 96 if it's low miles and in good condition!

    Sam, your creativity and woodworking abilities are obvious. Thank you for sharing your experience and inspiring me to upgrade my truck storage drawers. I am a hobby woodworker and people are always telling me that I should take orders or sell online. I don't want my hobby that I enjoy to become work and suck the joy right out of it, so I know where you are at. There are companies out there that are already set up with CNC and mass production that may be interested in taking on your design. If you approach them with your list of interested customers, they may compensate you very well for your time, prototype and plans and get you out from under the stress.

    I have a 2015 and it always feels much more appropriate to think of it as an overlanding vehicle instead of something to do baja stuff on. Moderate speeds, careful line choices and a healthy respect for the mass that's getting tossed around. If you take all of that into consideration, it's pretty impressive what these things can do.

    Love this but something that bothers me about many of these systems is having the stove on the end farthest from the truck. It's out there waving in the wind and weighing down the drawer which will eventually fail. This the first one that has considered where to put shoes, boots and 'dirty' things.

    @@SamChou I can get 5ft long for $150 HD but 6th is almost double that price. Bearings at my place with to sides would cost half plus rails etc. I think I'm not far away from $150 and runners would look neaty - thanks for info. I might not need 6ft. therefore but get your point. I have wheels arches on both sides so it would be tricky to have bearings and no need for extension that far as can access it from the back too (it would be for the van rather than pickup) but similar idea. own design but like your work too.
