I am looking for a single draw that will take up about half the width of the freight compartment of my Jackaroo. All I have been able to find in a web search is the DIY units from Offroad Systems where a single draw looks as though it would do the job, with a bit of improvisation.
And can anyone tell me? How are these units normally attached to the vehicle? Simply bolted through the floor?
Thanks.
Kevin

Black Widow. They have a range of different setups.

Found it and added to my watch list although it is much bigger than I want. But if the price is right it still has possibilities.
Thanks,
Kevin

Mark, you did
well. Good set up. Yes, building my own is an option. My biggest obstacle is that I can't weld but I suppose I can get that done for me fairly easily.
Thanks for the pics.

there isnt a single weld in those drawers....its aluminum and the connectors are plastic inserts.

With joints glued and screwed? I've had a closer look at your pics and see what you mean. Looks like an effective method. Thanks.

the joints are a tight fit.i applied some crc to the plastic joiners and carefully tapped them in with a hammer. you could put a pop rivit into them but i found there wasnt any need to,as they havent worked their way out and they have been in there for some time now.

Interesting to note that a blog has popped up on the
home page today for a member named Draw Slide who have a range of sliding products including a range of single draws that can be grouped into almost any configuration that you may want.
The options keep increasing. Talk about a
mine of information.

Hi Kevin,
You can try my website www.drawerslide.com.au
I can supply you the slides/handles and hardware if you want to make it yourself or I can supply you a pre-fabricated drawer system which would be $599.00 Inc GST per drawer unit delivered to all capital cities or close to Australia wide.
