Cargo Drawers

This Article looks at gearing up for a 4WD camping trip and the need to find a sturdy, compact storage solution that won't rattle, break or allow loose items to fly around the cabin.

Depends on what you want.

New, second hand hand??

2 drawers stacked, fridge slide??

Try Best Off Road as they are very competitive even though they are in Viv

I second Best Offroad. I haven't got any yet but it was the best deal I could find when I was looking. Freights not that much. You know if you want drawers you can jump up and down on when extended then yeah you might want to look for the steel models but you know I don't jump up and down on drawers ... I had a home made (well a carpenter made them) wooden set in my last vehicle and they went everywhere with nothing giving or loosening for a good 100k, so try Best Offroadb for made to order and shipped price.

In your shed mate. Why pay big dollars for something that is so cheap too make. And very simple. Even if you dont have the tools you could buy them and still come out in front. You can even make it to the exact requirements that you want, and it will be much more rewarding knowing you made it yourself.

I dunno bout that Kroozer. I'm a city boy, can do my own services, put in a tap in my house, chop a log with an axe, solder connections and service my engine (and replace lots of components), but geez, ask me to make a set of boxes out of wood that are square and I'll tell you know I have my own limitations ....

I am also looking at draws at the moment for my patrol and was thinking of this mob

http://www.offroadsystems.com.au/index.html

They have a few option aand also have a DIY option, where they make up the draws to a basic level and you can do the finishing off.

What I am thinking of is making mine modular system of firdge slide and 3 draws and have it so I can have 1 draw or 2 or 3 depending where we are going and for how long

Also when I spoke to the guys there I wanted to know how how long it would take to put in and remove as I dont want them al the time as it is also my daily drive and need to be able to the pram or the golf clubs in there when we are not on a trip. I was told that it would be approx 40mins and 20 bolts if all the draws where in and the base plate remained in the car for next time..
