Hi I am new to this, I have a Defender 110 puma and I am looking for some ideas on a rear set up. I have a child restraint bar which restricts my room, and is a temporary fixture for another 3 years. I also have an front opening fridge which may restrict drawer set up. can anyone help or give me some ideas?

Have a look at my gallery here http://www.aulro.com/app/showgallery.php?cat=1037
for another level of loading for the rear of Defenders.

Hi

This is the set up I have in the back of my 110 , I also have the crab bar and a cargo barrier .

I have 2 huskies so I did not go for a draw that goes right to the back of the rear bay as this made it a bit too high for them to jump up into the back. The car came with the full draw system. But that too up far too much room for my liking. So I took it out and replaced with a smaller one.

I do have another draw bit that fits behind this draw and then makes the whole floor flat . This sits in the 90 all the time and when I am going on a trip I put both of them together to make a large area for storage.

my setup

- draws are aluminum: they just slide on carpet, doesn't rattle and is pretty easy to use (the mrs' struggles a little when it is full and heavy though)
- locks are window locks
- handles are lovely and square :)
- fridge is on a waeco platform which pulls out pretty easily
- door opens a little further with Mulgo's gas strut
- everything is made from 12mm ply covered in grey carpet where visible, otherwise is painted with black enamel to keep the weight down but remain somewhat waterproof
- rear has been fully insulated, a bit heavy but it works a treat, stops anything rattling in the sides, plus obviously reduces road noise
- the top of the sides lift out for easy access but still provide a flat surface on top
- behind the rear seats is a 40Lt water tank and then a cargo barrier
- netting in the roof space for anything light (sleeping bags, pillows, jackets, etc...)

Took an awful lot of planning and took quite a while to construct, but was well worth it.

hope this helps :)

Hi Andrew

Welcome aboard to the forum

Your question about the fitting out of the back of the Land rovers, has sure sparked a lot of interest, thanks for that.

I'm in the same boat. Have fitted the cargo barrier in the Puma 110 and now I need to give some thought to the rear set-up.

Please keep the pictures coming guys...and any details regarding the products you have and who makes them e.g. shelves, drawers.

While I'm tempted to make the drawer and fridge slider myself, I'd want to get the right sliders and fittings. Are these things easily available (haven't done any research yet so do forgive me for asking now).

Hey Bobby,

E-bay is your friend.

Heap of stuff on there, fridge slides, drawer slides, LED lighting.

The LED's in my post cost $3 for each 50cm length and $4 postage from Honkers.

I used these drawer slides for mine

slides (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/4WD-DRAWER-RUNNERS-FRIDGE-SLIDES-M-DUTY-750MM-125kg-UTES-CARAVANS-CARS-/250961721712?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a6e7bf970#ht_8765wt_852)

I have to be honest the seller of the slides is my sister but that dosent make them bad

They lock closed open and at the halfway point and are rated up to 125kg
As an added treat the defender in the pic is mine.

My sisters husband is a cabinet maker so he made my drawers and is looking to start making them more so if you ask nicely they will make whatever you like.

OK Andrew, here are a few more ideas for you to ponder.
There is about 480L of storage in the two drawers and window boxes, plus room for the fridge and a spot for 4 storage creates with another 280L capacity where the rear seats usually are. There is also room underneath the false food for 3 more tubs in the footwell, plus chairs, table etc
The lighting is a 5050 LED strip on an RBG backing connected to a 4 way 3 pole rotary switch to function as a dimmer - very bright!

Would love to see some more pics of other setups! I'm currently working on setting up my Defender for a trip around Australia. Got the back end and rear seats removed, and am considering having it so I can sleep in the back. Anyone have such a setup they can post pics of??
Thanks

I have removed the rear seats as well and just built a frame that takes four sliding tubs (cheap as chips) for all the food etc. That all sits on two larger tubs that contains all the cooking stuff. Has to all come out easy after each trip so the dogs can ride in the back.

I did hear from a cop at a recent club meeting that you can get done in Queensland for removing the rear seats from a vehicle that was made with them in. Not sure if that was all vehicles or vehicles registered in SA and travelling through. They would have to have stopped you for something else i guess or they wouldn't bother.

Just finished fitting Drifta drawers in the back of my 110. Custom made to my dimensions to fit behind the cargo barrier - very happy with it.

Cheers
