We were at the Syd 4X4 show today checking amongst several things - Sliding Drawers. The good ones are good but bleeding expensive. So back to the drawing board. I have done the archival search and seen the chit chat. I would like to see something on the Red Desert system but can't find a Google search. Truckster you or have mentioned them, can you or someone give me a WWW lead or address/phone contact. Thanks guys 'n gals.

I bought a set thru E-Bay about 3 weeks ago. $625 delivered to me from a guy in
Melbourne. Fitted them to my 100 series last weekend. Awesome. Fitted perfectly and I do mean perfectly. Suggest you keep on checking e-bay, the guy I got
mine from still had a few sets left. Unfortunately I have only just deleted his e-mail addy otherwise I could have passed it on. I will try to find it if you think it is worth it?

Thanks Kiwi Angler
I tried a search on eBay - no luck. I checked red desert and sliding draws. What search did you use or what were they listed under ?
Any assist is alway appreciated.

Cocka,
I bought a set of the $330 drawers and have done a couple of trips with them. They are very solid. I put
mine in an 80 series so it needed slight trimming apart from that it took a few hours to install. If you can find them anywhere for even double the price they would still be excellent value.
I have the Address that they were sent from at red desert.
Red Desert
PO Box 319
Heidelberg
VIC 3084
Sorry I dont have a phone number and am pretty sure they were sold out soon after I bought
mine. Good luck.

Dude
they are long gone, and people are SCAMMING
well on Ebay!!!!
They are going for upto $1200! ! ! ! ! They only sold for $330 delivered to your door. They were at Wandin Field day for $1000!!!!
Be careful though, some of the box sets were MISSING PARTS!!! and if you dont get them , then you have a useless system.
I agree with the prices of the other systems, $2000?? THey are on drugs!
Your best bet is to build your own. Search for Dave Hays plans on
making them.

Failing that, I know someone with ~100 sets of red desert draws they are planning on making a killing over the next 12-48 months!$750 a set I think...
