Here's mine http://www.pradopoint.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=6245

No drawers but a folding false floor if that's any help.

Cheers

Craig

Re: False Floor information needed

One more for the pot...I wanted a false floor so I could bolt down a fridge slide and an aux power pack, but have it all completely removable. And I wanted the fridge slide to stay as low as possible, so I didn't want drawers. I saw those 4 cargo tie-downs, so thought I could use them to lock down onto. What I ended up with was 2 layers of 12mm MDF with sliding-bolt latches that engage with the tie-downs. The 2 layers are only so that I could recess the sliding bolts - if you didn't mind them standing up above the surface you could probably get away with one layer. It's hinged down the middle with a piano hinge to make it easier to put in and take out. Mine stops at the back seats and does not require them to be folded up, but it could extend further forward if you wanted it to I guess. It may be a little rough in places, but it does the job well and I'm very happy with the result. I know this isn't exactly what this thread is about, but thought I'd throw it in anyway.


This shows how the underneath layer is cut away to save weight - it's only really needed around the edges, where the latches are, and where the hinge is.


This shows one of the latches attached to the underneath layer, and reached thru a cut-out in the top layer.


The left rear corner, showing how it extends out into the "bay" behind the wheel arch. It has to do that so it will be over the tie-down.
The aluminium strips further forward are where the aux power pack is tied down.
