    Whilst I am sure that your storage system is more then adequate and safe for normal use, what about when things go tits side up.

    Hit a ditch at 60mph then is your fasteners strong enough to keep every thing out of the passenger compartment? What about that can of beer/beans/shackle etc that you have just tossed in the back? Can quickly become a lethal missile.

    Also a load guard does provide extra storage space.

    Just my tuppence worth

    I like it all, I was also wondering where your spare was going but thats a good idea.

    Also the cargo barriers can provide a bit of roll over protection, I will get one oneday or build my own, I used to work for a company that built them.

    you can build them without the lower section of mesh for access to your drawers still and you can make the mesh removeable so you can still use the load area if you need to.

    thank you Mcrover

    The actual draw system has a 19mm steel Tubing Frame and it's wrapped around using ply wood so in case the car does Roll , there will be some Protection ,as for the Shakles , Cans of food etc , they're all stored in bottom draws and the Whole Unit is wedge shapped which utilises the space under the back seats for more storage and Locks in, I've hit plenty of Ditches at high speed or on Dirt rd and the ARB box is still there , hasn't moved the Turn Buckles are still Bolted on, I can send more Photos

    3 draws

    ARB storage box , secured down with turn buckles

    40L engel Secured on engel bracket, and a 40L water tank taken from a mates Disco .

    p.s what do you reckon about the ladder ?
    I like the ladder idea, if i ever get round to making a rear bar with wheel carrier. The fold up shelf on the rear door is also a very practical addition. I've seen it on a few trucks and will do the same to mine.

    Cheers, Phill
