Storage Drawers for 2006 troopie.

Stephen, have got some Drifta products and they are very well made and robust, no sign of binding when loaded. Have also had Jim's products in the past, very well made and probably cheaper than Luke's products. About to get some custom drawers made by Jim, so will be able to tell you about the current quality in a few weeks time, lol. Good luck which ever way you go.

We put an product in our bt50 called Outback. I think its an ARB one. Its very strong and hasnt missed a beat. It also has the option of sliding lids so you can get to things on the top of drawers as well. Im a radio tech and carry a lot on the drawers as well. They have all steel rollers.

Stephen, I am putting them into a Nissan Patrol wagon, no idea of price yet, need to measure, get made etc and my Nissan is currently in the hospital getting a new heart..... I will be fitting them.

Going to order them, as soon as I get my Nissan back.

John,

I'm back from holiday, when you get a chance pop in and we'll do the measure for the custom job for your Patrol.

Jim.

Stephen,

Our business after eight years is growing all the time as we build a top quality product. We get many, many, return customers which is testament to the longevity of our drawers. Two years ago we had to go from one factory to two to satisfy demand.

Most of our units are our premium roller bearing units. We do also do a "budget" unit similar to the Drifta Drawers that run on polyethylene skids. These work quite well for light to medium applications and moderate use. We offer our customers a choice between budget and heavy duty fully sealed roller bearing units that stand up to years of use and abuse.

Any queries, call us on 03 9706 6527, we freight Australia wide.

Jim.

Stephen,

I have drifta drawers in my Prado and I am very happy them, the table is invaluable......easy to store and use. Quality product and super helpful company to deal with.
cheers

For what it's worth, I would suggest that you don't buy any that don't slide out 100% , its a PITA getting to stuff at the back if they don't!

The problem with drawers that slide out 100% is that they have to use full extension rails which are quite frankly, rubbish. They are designed for internal household use. They use exposed ball bearings running between two tubes of steel. After time grit and dust gets in and the ball bearings grind themselves away to nothing.

We get numerous calls from people wanting to purchase our fully sealed stainless steel roller bearing system to replace their failed units. They are commonly used by "back yarders" and manufacturers who do not invest the appropriate money in machinery to do the job properly.

Our gear is cut on a fully computerised CNC Router as is any high quality, properly engineered, equipment. The photo I have attached is what you want to avoid if you want drawers that will last.

Stephen,
I have Black Widow drawers in my 2011 troopie. They were in it when I bought it, so don't know the price.
They have been great. Strong. Carry heaps of weight. They don't slide out 100% but I'm happy with that. The cantilever load on the slides would be huge.

One drawer also has the fridge slider on top. I have an 80L Engle with a 40L extension. When it's loaded it weighs a bucket load... The fridge slider handles this weight with ease.

The drawers also have a void on either side with removable covers. On one side I have the 2nd of the Aux batteries & on the other I have the compressor permenantly mounted with an air outlet & switch fitted to the rear face of the drawer caseing.

All in all, very happy.

Cheers, Bryan
