Hi, I have been researching for some considerable time to source a strorage system for my NP Pajero that will allow access to the underfloor storage space provide after the removal of the rear seats. Whilst I have looked at everything I can't seem to find a system that allows relative easy access to this area and I was wondering if any member has had any success in obtaining a suitable system.
Regards
Richard

Gaday Richard. Not aware of any commercially built storage units that give access underneath but as I had the same requirement in my JK I built my own. It simply is supported on a box section frame that when the draws are all slid out, allows access by folding the rear seats & reaching through from the back. I have enlarged the area under my floor to fit a 2nd battery, compressor, fuses & spare parts storage so although I don't need to get in there very often, it is important to be able to reach in to get what I want without removing the whole unit. Not that it is a big deal anyway as the whole lot comes out in 5 minutes.
Cheers Craig.............

Alternatively one could use ball slides that are removeable on all the draws. (eg: like the ones on the draw above my fridge) That way you just remove the bottom slides & reach in from the back.

Thanks Steve. Have made a few now adding extra features each time. The cutlery draw is removable so that it not only fits the Autofridge (pictured) but also takes the new plastic 40L Engel or 39L Waeco.
Where the 2 x 10L water containers fit behind the
seat I plan to mount a 45L
water tank with pump.
I've used weld mesh sides to maximise fridge ventilation & minimise the weight & with the alloy draws can lift the unit out by myself. Most commecial units are almost twice as heavy & can't simply be unbolted.
My last effort in the 105 series (Below) was similar but I saved some space, money & additional weight by running the draws on Laminex strips instead of the ball runners.
