Here is a link to the D3 / D4 RRS forum topic on the subject:
Plans on how to build your own set are also on this link below.

Plenty of photos through the tread.
Good luck.

Hi Paul. Like Yorkie said. Check the Drifta setup. I have it in my D2a and am extremley pleased with it. Good value for money, carpet covered marine ply, on teflon slides So it doesn't rattle, and doesn't weigh a ton.

They will custom build/modify whatever you want.

I have the 2x drawers, plus a slide out table, and a fridge drop slide, and the rhs drawer can be replaced with the drifta carback kitchen (or we carry it ontop next to the fridge). The whole setup, including the drop slide, drawers, table & kitchen cost me $2300 (modified per request AND installed). I thin a plain 2x drawer is about $850 (with a slide out table ?) They'll ship anywhere in the country.

Cheers,

The Iron man Drawers are made by Black Widow, there the same as Black Widows New Travelmate range. Travelmate starts from $1500 up to $2000 depending on spec, compaired to the Top End Black Widow Drawers that start at $1950.

Both the Black Widow systems however use the same bearings, for the drawers, the high end model. is also made of a thicker steel, and as more options, drawer-slide, cargo barriers etc, and can hold/take more weight, have to say it does look better.

And all of the above are made in Australia, using local materials.

I know ARB have a new drawer system ( they ditched BW ) belive its made in China, as is alot of there stuff these days.....

I know this isn't a for sale forum, but I've got my Fourby setup on Ebay right now...

My mate (carpenter) owed me a favour or two, so he assisted me in building a rear drawer system for my Disco 2. It is a basic construction of plywood, heavy-duty drawer runners, marine carpet and some checker-plate for finishing.
It is held down in the cargo area by turnbuckles to the existing tie down points. I also made a myself a fridge slide out of ply and shorter heavy duty runners that are bottom-mount.

Does your mate need any Maths tutoring? Then he'll owe me too!!!! Nice job, exactly what I need!

For those of you making your own drawer system.

Over the years I have had problems with the rear door locking mechanism failing to work. So, as a result, am unable to open door from outside, but can open from inside.

I made my own set of drawers and the door locking problem was part of the planning.
I made my drawers just below the internal door handle, so if not able to open from outside can at least get it from inside. Dependent upon what else is packed on top. But I pack accordingly, with failure of actuator always on mind.

how easy is it to get at the fuel pump when needed with these mods?
