Roller Drawers

Thanks jeff,

I had two replies suggesting Narellan, so I called them & there standard drawers are only $1200, so I will go & have a look.

Thanks, OM&M

Hi all
I agree.
I have a set of Off Road Systems drawers fitted to my 80 series and find them great. They are a bit shorter than normal as Graham makes a water tank to fit in front of them.
I do suggest however to opt for the double row slides because when they get full they are quite heavy and wobble around abit not that they have given a problem however for longevity the double slides will be the way to go.
They custom make them so you can probably get a longer set made.

Cheers

Hi Truckster

Did you make your own?

We look like having to do so because of the opening restrictions to slide the Trailblaza out of on a traytop camper we are interested in.

Was just interested on how you did yours if you don't mind me asking?

Hi Truckster,

Thought about making my own, only lacking the tools & the know-how lol. I did re-search it, but I came to the conclusion that I wanted a well made system.

Regards, OM&M.

I'm making mine right now. Spending about $600. Was fortunate to get some bearings off a mate for free and access to a mig welder.

Using folded sheetmetal for drawer bodies and 25x25mm square tube for frame and 25x25 angle for runners. I'm making 4 drawers 2 top, 2 bottom each drawer works out to be 465W x 870L x 265H.

Frame sits between wheel arches and will be anchored using the seat anchor points - fully removable. Also incorporates a cargo barrier.

Hopefully will do the job although I'm sure I'll have things to do differently if I was to go again. We'll see.

Na I scored that Red Desert deal Brand new in boxes $330 delivered to my house about 12-18mths ago!

But yea I would have made my own, there is NOWAY on earth that there is $750 in material and labour in making storage units.. Let alone $1500 or $2000!!

"there is NOWAY on earth that there is $750 in material and labour in making storage units"

yeah, of course there's not...its called profit. how do you think they make money to go on their holidays?

Thanks Penguin,

I have called them & they sound o.k. I will go down & look at there demo model. Thanks for your help.

Sorry, that should be www.4wdinteriors.com.au or no .au?

Waiting for a show would be good. There is a show up near Newcastle in a few weeks. We are waiting to get our OPen Sky Tent there.

amazing people still think there are major savings at 4wd shows.

I know the last rosehill and melbourne one numerous things marked "SHOW SPECIALS" were more than normal day to day prices...

Well all I know is that OPen Sky knocked $400 off the price of their Ezi Awn at the last show I went to. Even where I decked out my truck, spending close to 15k couldn't offer me that price. He gave me 10-20% off everything else, even airlockers, but he couldn't match the show special. So I guess, that judging by that, their are discounts at shows huh? Amazing!

Waveslave,

I think that they are only standard height & length, Which sounds a bit steep to me as well. I have e-mailed 4wd interiors & am waiting there response. Thanks for your advice.

Hey, I just had a quick check of their website. $1760 for the 80 series. Plus fitting, dunno bout freight? But that should be your starting point at the 4b shop. Try Opposite Lock at Brookvale, Ian there looked after me for everything in my Troopy. Tell him Thommo sent you and, well he may or may not like that. He either loves me coz I spent ableepload with him, or he hates me coz I cut his margins. Either way, he came down, but I spent a lot. Worth a try?

Very amazing.. Mate went to buy LRTank and was quoted an extra $75 on the price at the shop 2 days before the show.

When he asked the salesman what was going on, he shrugged his shoulders...

ARB Stand at 4wd show in Melbourne costs $80k (according to bloke in club that makes storage and has stand there too) for the whole week. You would want to be making sales.

Captain,

I'm going to built my own. Where did you get the 100kg draw runners from and what was the cost?

Cheers,

Dave.

Depending where you live.. Carac in Dandenong Melb has the runners.

Hi Maddog,

Got them in Osborne Park (Perth) for ~$80 trade. Cannot remember the name off the top of my head (may have been Galvins, but not sure), but can found out if you are still interested.

Cheers

Captain

Hettich roller systems make a roller that is rated at 105kgs... they're available nationally or so I believe. They're very relaible system

Very nice job Captain and proffessional too.
