Red Desert Drawers to suit 100 series LC

Hi sloth:

I had the same problem when I installed my Red Desert drawers, which I found was caused because it had not gone together "square". All I did was loosened all the bolts with the frame inside my 80 series, "squared it up" (using a very large square), then tightened the whole thing up. Worked fine then. Hope this helps.

Hi Jack,

That must have been an annoying and time consuming task. It would also have been difficult as all the bolts are underneath. Had you secured the bolts into the floor before doing this? My dads truck is a 100 series so I am not sure whether we could do the same thing.Just Do It!

Hi sloth:

Taxing my memory now ... but it went like this ...
I "loose assembled" the frame, then bolted it firmly to the floor. The surroinding frame was still loose. At that point I then proceeded to square it up then tighten it up. Yes, time consuming, difficult, a few skinned knuckles .. but the final result was worth the pain (I keep telling myself).
I cannot comment on the 100 series, although I was told they are pretty similar. On my 80 series I needed to relocate one of the bars which tied it all down onto the floor. I also neded to trip off about 1/2" off the tops so that they would fit into the 80 Series. Naturally, it is a straight bolt in for the 100 series.

Cheers
