    The PullKitchen Longitude is the ultimate camp kitchen.

    Each PullKitchen Longitude comes with everything you need out of the box, down to the DeWalt batteries and LED lights - so you can simply install and start your adventure.

    The PullKitchen Longitude is securely installed in the back of your truck bed, van, or trailer, and it can be removed in a matter of minutes, so you can take it out once you're home, or leave it in year-round for no-stress camping.

    It includes a sink with running water and Rotopax water storage, an electric water pump, a two-burner stovetop, a cutting board, prep space, and ample storage for food, cutlery, and other dry goods.

    My business partner and I launched PullKitchen which is a truck-based kitchen for off-roading, tailgating, camping, or overlanding. We were tired of bins and thought there’s got to be a better way, and out of that frustration I made my first kitchen drawer out of 1/2” ply, then v2 was extruded aluminum and plywood, and now our production model is all aluminum and composite materials. Only the sliders are steel.

    PullKitchen is like a chuck box that can be installed and uninstalled in just a couple minutes so you get your truck back after your trip is over. Weight is 205lbs. This solution provides a fully self-contained drawer for your:
    1) pantry storage
    2) kitchen storage
    3) flat prep space
    4) sink with electric pump
    5) burners
    6) water
    7) lights
    8) Run on a DeWalt power tool battery and charger

    For open beds we have weatherproof covers to seal out dust and weather. AC52DB99-2589-4B8E-8591-6F1AA5ECC561.jpg

    When you roll up to camp it literally takes 10 seconds to set up 50% of your campsite.

    You don’t need a PullKitchen, but you might want one. They start at $4795.A67B80C1-C89B-4112-BF2E-C5D24E320F60.jpg 1BC19500-459D-4456-9860-7D4B15B00BE8.jpg 6036134D-69D4-4560-A13E-BC36C598DDEA.jpg

    I’ve been asked about foam to secure items in boxes or in a PullKitchen, Kaizen foam works really well and is easy to cut with a long box knife. You can custom it to your gear or kit.

    Function before sparkle.
    Cool product.

    Is the closed package dust and waterproof?

    Is a cool design and thought.

    For 5 large I would expect it to come stocked with food and also cook my meals and wash up after!

    Haha there’s always one…
    The form factor of DeWalt 12v lends itself better to a slimmer battery mount. However we include the battery and charger so even Milwaukee guys can charge up. Some customers hard-wire them to their trucks, just has to be 12v power. image.jpg

    You might want to also advertise or be affiliated with farm and ranch products. Your product would be handy out in the field at brandings, ropings, ranch rodeos, 4-h events.

    Looks pretty slick. Any install vids and weights? Will it handle the technical and crazy fast off roading we see for things like Tundras to Sedona?

    I'd like to see a removal video to find out how simple it really is to remove from the bed.

    This is in Baja in my Tacoma which had about 5k dirt miles with the PullKitchen in the back. As a company we warranty for 25mph off road, but I’ve been much much faster bombing through Mojave and Death Valley.

    I meant like the really steep stuff going slow; will the catches/latches hold a loaded drawer? For speed I meant over whoops and such. Just curious to know the limits/expectations.

    I'd be years out on this kind of purchase, but I know these are the kinds of things buyers will ask. Any of it you can provide in advance on your site will let customers knowing exactly what they're getting. I don't think anyone expects it to be indestructible, but knowing the limits will keep customers from finding the limits and being angry.

    We are working on shooting that particular video next week. Most customers mount through the base to 6 Rivnuts installed into the bed or vehicle frame. Placing the unit in or removing it takes maybe 3 minutes to slide it in, line it up over the Rivnuts, and screw it down. It’s one of the top reasons why our customers have liked this design. You can pop it in a trailer with the family or move it to your truck if you are fishing solo for a weekend.

    As far as technical stuff they have gone over the Rubicon, through Death Valley, Baja, Ozarks trails etc and have performed very well. Securing items inside is recommended of course and we recommend that our more aggressive drivers make Kaizen foam trays for their items. Everyone packs differently so people get 2 inch foam and a long box knife to make them. We have PullKitchens in over 35 states so far and a couple in Canada so they’ve definitely been trail tested.

    Our Instagram has a ton of customer photos as there’s too many to share here. But below are some examples of builds and vehicles.

    Here’s an example of an off road trailer install through the base

    This thing seems pretty sweet. Probably a long long way out for me, but could possibly work into a long term build. Pie in the sky at the moment, as I have other stuff to consider, but it's fun to do a build in your head with an unlimited budget. :)

    In finding the above photo, which isn’t the best to see the foam, I was reminded of our Ford collaboration at SEMA21 in Vegas. We were in the rear of a F150 Tremor on the main stage next to Leno and Keith Urban. Haha

    Couple more questions for you @PapaDave418.

    1. How modular is this? If something breaks can I get parts to repair it, or do I have to truck it out for warranty work?
    2. Would it be possible to feed the sink from a larger water container mounted up on the bed rack, or sitting on the ground below this, or is a rotopax the only option?
    Those are the some more that I would imagine might be good info to have on the main page. Here's one specific to this forum, and I am shocked nobody else hit you with it: Would you consider a group buy on the forum? If so, how many committed buyers would you require and what level, or levels if tiered, of discount would you consider?


    Again, I'm in no position to buy. Just asking questions. :)

    Good questions. We are direct sales (no middle man) so we don’t have sales or group buys at this point.

    Yes there is some modularity especially with items that might break like a lift or slide latch (like if in an accident!) and being a small company word-of-mouth is critical for us so we’ve taken care of any issues which have been few, mostly in shipping. The onboard pump and lights run off a 12v DeWalt power tool battery and the pump is self-priming so it can pump water easily from a different water tank. PullKitchens are 12v so they can be hard-wired to the truck if people want to go that route.

    Our goal was to provide a completely turn-key system that just needs a cook to get started!

    OVERLAND EXPO WEST

    If anyone is going to Overland Expo West in Flagstaff later in May, Overland Chef Jessie Houston www.instagram.com/overlandchef will be doing cooking demonstration‘s from the CBI Off Road booth only on Friday. He has his brand new custom PullKitchen that he will be demonstrating from.

    So if you are at Overland Expo West you can see one in person.

    Nice! Appreciate the responses.

    As for the modularity, I'll use a specific example based on today's free range parenting. Kitchen is deployed for use and said free range spawn chooses to jungle gym on the back end in a twinkie and coke fueled bout of "expression" that bends some of the drawer rails and pops off/damages the circled piece in the pic below. How difficult would it be to get just the damaged parts to make repairs?

    upload_2022-5-5_21-7-51.jpg



    I know it seems like I'm just trying to be difficult, but I promise I'm not. I'm actually quite a fan of what you have going on here, and I want to poke, prod, and dissect it out of excitement.




    And another more normal question: Are the color options powder coating, or paint? How difficult would they be to touch up if chipped/scratched?

    I appreciate good questions! Very easy to fix. 8020.net or we send the part from our location. The panels come in 6 colors black, white, blue, green, red, and brushed aluminum. The are ACM panels that are what skin the outside of skyscrapers. So they are very tough, UV resistant, lightweight and come from the manufacture colored so they don’t fade or damage easily. From there you’d have to color match if you really damaged it or we send out a new panel.

    We put together a simple slideshow of customer PullKitchen builds. There’s a couple of Tundras that have been built out featured

    Got multiple vehicles you off road with? You can move this from your tundra, to a van, to a trailer, or even an SUV. And move it in about 5 minutes.
