Storage Draws for GU - Weight?

Moggs, I had a set in my Hilux Ute (now sold) put in by Opposite Lock. Weighed 120kgs empty (3 drawers and fridge slide). Terrific set up, but heavy.

Tanimi were the lightest I've seen as they were made out of aluminum but they were $$$$. How much are you looking at for these?

I wouldnt go with a unit with the fridge on top of the draws again.. way too hard for others to get into.

I have a set of these drawers in my gu & i am very happy with them
Mine are 3 drawers high on the drivers side ( the bottom one is a deeper drawer with a double slide track as i have my tools in this one) with a 40l engel on a slide on the passenger side at floor level (easy to get in to standing on the ground)
I have a centre pole tent,bbq plate,tarps & chairs on the flat top of the drawer set
I also ordered the drawers with a 60l stainless water tank in the front of it & a cargo barrier to suit as well as a table top that sits on the top of the lower drawer when open (very simple & handy as for meal preperation)
Off road systems did the lot as a package & were great to deal with & i have had this setup for around 18 months & have no problems at all
As far as weight goes i am not sure but i would say they would be comparable to other drawer systems & not overly heavy

This is the drawer system I have. Drop over for a look if you need to. Not too heavy and no where near the weight of some. They bolted straight in and have been great. Will move them on to the next car. He will install the T bolts for a fridge slide if you need it. Make sure you get the 2 runners fitted to the drawers. They sent them down by courier.

I am fascinated by all this discussion about how long and how heavy your draws are, from the size and weight I would assume that you are talking about Winter draws not the lightweight summer versions I am moving into at this time of year.

I wouldn't have thought that draws made out of aluminium would be very comfortable - more like a chastity belt.

Donk and PeterMcG however seem to be having a side conversation which doesn't seem to be about underwear at all but drawers - as in chest of drawers.

Black Widows are 65kg (so I'm told).
I got the full length side by side for the same reasons and the plastic crate with timber lid works fine as a step. SWMBO car access the fridge and she's only 5' tall!
I also sold the Milford Barrier and went for the half barrier with the drawers a little longer and there's still plenty of room behind the seat for bits and pieces.

Very happy overall, but the only thing I don't like is the inability to get at the stuff under the floor where the wheel arches are without unloading the stuff on top of the hatches. The Tanami drawers have a little 'door flap' to access this area which would be handy.

Cheers,

Dept of Interior in Syd draws are all hardwood ply and are much lighter.
Mine have done nearly 400 000 km in a work vehicle and still work OK. They are about to go into the new wagon shortly
I can lift them in and out of the vehicles myself so at most would be 40kg I reckon. That is both draws together just missing half the top lid, other side has a slide.
Worth a look

I would have thought a two-drawer system would weigh about the same as the two rear seats we removed from our 100 series.

Does anyone know how much the rear seats weigh?
