Made my own for the Prado for the same reason..price..Made out of what I had in shed, sheet of 5 ply (old desk top) piece of 20mm MDF, Aluminium angle, heaps of counter sunk bolts with nyloc nuts and some creative joinery, glue and tech screws.
Used ribbed rubber matting for the top as it is easier to clean all the sand and snot out later (just brush or vacuum). Used unbacked marine carpet for the drawer fronts, etc.
Started with kitchen drawer rollers, now have bearing roller runners ($30 a pair rated at 40kg). Took a couple of weekends, but does the job. Couple of sliding door lock bolts and we're in business
Now have a Waeco fridge slide bolted to one side (couldn't be bothered with making it part of the top).
Has been in for 2 years over some oridinary WA and NT roads and is still in one piece carrying Tirfors, winch ropes, chains, etc.
If I could work out how to attach pictures I'd do that.
