    Drawer System

    I fitted the new ORS drawer system (Fridge Pack 2) last week; neat bit of kit and a Milford cargo barrier fits with it too. Highly recommended.

    Yes, I wanted to keep it as light as possible so went aluminium; the table and the drawer top were options. In addition they made two identical kits, one for me and one for my brothers D3 and both are slightly narrower than their standard version. This was becasue we wanted easier access to 12V plugs and the rear panels. They seem well made - but they'd want to be at the price. Best bit ofcourse is that it will slot straight into the D4!

    BlackPerth,

    Looks good, is this a set up that can be relatively easily removed, I can see it looks like a case of simply unscrewing the tie downs but is that it.

    I am looking for a set up that can put in an out so the rear seats can be used for normal use and then put in when going for a trip.

    Also what is the approximate cost ?

    George

    George I had a pair of ORS drawers in my Patrol and I found they were very easy to remove and re-install once you knew how.

    its a 10 minute job - unscrew the tie downs and lift it out. Easy. Not cheap - no change from $2500 if you go with all the options and fridge slide etc etc

    BlackPerth,

    Did you consider the FourbyFitouts solution?

    I too want something that is easily removed!

    Just started building my own to save some coin! So far I have finished the frame and all up, it's cost me $110 for materials. Ordering slides next and thinking of using marine ply covered and marine carpet for the top.

    All, this is now for sale - please PM if interested; on EBAY too; reason for selling is we just find with 3 kids we need more space in the back - and often now have one rear seat up next to the fridge when an extra child is with us.

    I have just fitted a home made two drawer unit to the back of my new D4. Although it is a very very simple unit, a similar one has worked well for 10 years in the back of my 6.5 litre V8 "Tdi" D1. The unit is made from 12mm exterior ply and 180mm wide pine timber. There are no drawer runners - I just rub candle wax on the timber and the drawers move easily. A friend in Fremantle made one with roller runners for his D2 and he had to fit latches to stop the drawers self opening. I don't need latches.

    The side wings on the unit are there so they can be folded up to slide the whole thing out of the back - it needs to be easily removable to use the rear seats or remove the spare wheel. Ti take out the drawers, fold the wings up, untie the two lashings securing it down to the tie down points and then slide it out almost takes less time than to write it down.

    The cost of the parts is probably around $200 for the timber, alloy trim angle, epoxy glue, contact glue, hinges, fasteners and carpet. The only tools needed to make it are a jig saw, router and orbital sander - and a bit - not much - of woodworking skill

    The unit has two drawers approx 500mm x 1000m. If anyone is interested, I can supply the exact dimensions and a sketch of the unit.

    Cheers

    Al
