I agree. I think it is an inevetable mod for those who do what we do. I will be doing my drawers soon, and this thread has been good value so far.LES

Almost finished
Hi all, thought I would try to post some pics of the drawers that I have been working on. Just need a couple of handles and some minor adjustments. So far I am quite happy with them. All up it cost less than $300 and a couple of weekends tinkering. Thanks to mumsrig for inspiration.

Thats SWEET KMKPRADO........
Just need to get those handles now!!! Did you have any luck in tracking them down? I noticed that Coastal 4X4 in Perth had some laying around aswell.

Have a chat to Aaron (guy in the pic on 'About Us' page) and he should be able to sort you out!

Thanks mumsrig, I haven't tracked down the latches as yet but have seen them on a website called UES australia. I have a friend that is trying to get some for me through his cabinet making business. If he can't get them I will give the others a try. Thanks for your help though. I just have to work out a way of tying down my fridge now, not sure if I should use a slide or just tie down points. Any tips? Cheers.

I was looking at building a fridge slide, but I just haven't had the time.Originally posted by KMKPrado
Also was thinking about simply cutting some slots in the draw top and using a strap or two to hold the fridge down.

Here is my draw system I made over a period of time. Made the fridge slide lower so my daughter can open the fridge
without having to stand on the towbar or bumper. Draw holds my Maxair compressor, first aid kit and recovery gear etc etc.
Side storage holds rope, occy straps, shade awning anything I don't use that often.
Full setup made with 12mm marine ply covered with marine carpet.
To lock draw and frigde slide patio window locks were used and cupboard handles all from Bunnings.
Fridge and draw slides are from a local cabinet maker rated to 90kgs.

storage option
I just noticed this prado 120 series cargo storage system on Ebay. Looks decent and not a bad design. Thought someone might be interested. The item number is below.

I have finally had time to sit down and sort through some photos of my draw set up and fridge placement ( watching Bathurst and sorting during the adds) The fridge uses the small rear seat as my kids are 23 & 25
and would rather go out with boyfriends than us.....

Loving this thread
Truly some inspiring work being done and kudos to those fella's who have taken the time to post their efforts on here!!!.
I too can't justify or afford the hexy prices the major players are asking for their systems. I was considering getting a sheetmetal worker to knock up some drawers out of sheetmetal and then building the rest of the frame with my welder and some angle . I have no idea how much this will cost but read an article in Overlander, it's been done and for under $500.
I'm seriously impressed with what i have seen here, you guys have inspired me, better pull my finger out.
