DIY Overland Kitchen Build for my Subaru Forester

Here is a comprehensive look at the DIY overland pull-out kitchen/sleep platform I built for my Subaru Forester. In the first 9 minutes of the video, I show you all the features and details of the completed build, and then for the remainder of the video, I show you the build process starting from the beginning. The kitchen pull-out includes a stove, work surface, and storage for pans/dishes & cooking supplies. My build also includes running water, pull-out cooler access, and a sleeping platform.
This is NOT a How-To video. I'm not qualified to instruct you on how to build anything. I'm just showing you what I did. There are probably better techniques, tools, and materials for everything I did here. But this is what I came up with based on the tools I have, inexpensive, readily-available materials, and my amateurish skills. :-)
A huge shout-out to ‪@ThirdCoastCraftsman‬ whose truck drawer video provided inspiration and guidance for my design. I watched a ton of videos to gather ideas, but this straightforward approach resonated the most with me. While I strayed from his design somewhat, I still referred to this video over and over to help me visualize what I needed to do to make my build come together:
