Thread: Titan rear drawers in a D4?

No need for draws for a one off trip either....
Tubs and a simple shelf...

And my post may be harsh. But it's bloody true!!!!

Cheap imports cost jobs, local products don't sell in volume so the cost goes up...
Cheap imports come in... cycle goes on..

Just look at the Kongs/4wd Stupidmarket rubbish and it's proliferation through the country... people buying cheap quality gear and willing to replace it yearly rather than save up and buy quality once...

These are the same people complaining there's no jobs.... but if the awning were made in Australia it would keep several employed... apply that to all the other bits and pieces...

Back on topic:
A decent set of local manufactured draws, used for a while and then sold on will cost about the same once the sale is factored in...

Yeah that's what I decided on. Tubs will do. Already got that big one maybe couple more small ones.

True on the resale, seen some people asking nearly full price.

I had a couple of sets of plastic drawers that I used in my old Pajero. Worked quite well and you could buy various sizes in how many tiers you wanted.

Funny you should mention cheap chinese over the Aussie product, 95% of the accessories on our D4 are local, Supapeg and Bob Burrage awnings, Drifta drawers, Traxide DBS, Lightforce spotties, Rhino Platform, GME UHF and Antenna, long handle shovel and home made mudflaps Opposite Lock bullbar(before they started making them in Thialand) Kaymar rear bar and carriers, LLAMS.
The VRS winch is made overseas, for VRS, still a quality item though, the fridge is a Waeco, so most are local product

I figured buy quality, buy once, some of the gear has been in 2 vehicles, and even some in 3

But if cost is an issue, I do understand why people go cheap, sometimes it is hard to justify some local products, but what gets up my nose is when they sell the cheap chinese products at an Aussie price

Pics attached. I fixed them by attaching some loop mounts and grabbed a few hooked turnbuckles (the same used for shade sails) to screw them to the rear mounting points, then I can remove the drawers easily if I need to (pic attached). I used some pine underneath to slightly raise the drawers so they clear the tailgate and don't face down and fly out when you open them.

I also removed the false floor above the spare and can still access the wheel winder (pic attached) so I feel pretty lucky with that too.

HI Ben, Are you still happy with your Titan draws? I am thinking to buy a set and have heard you can just use one half if you want to still leaving access to one of the rear seats and spare tyre. Can you remember which size you bought in the end, was it the 1070mm Patrol GQ version and how about the width? Also what thickness pine underneath did you end up using? Any help would be awesome Cheers Dave
