Thread: Titan rear drawers in a D4?

Hi Ben,

I have these draws, I've put them in my car to look at how to fit them which I haven't done yet. You have to lift them 35mm minimum ( I'm using 35x70mm timber ) for the draws to open and clear the trim in the corners at the bottom of the tail gate opening. Unless you remove your rear seats you won't be able to get to the winder, you will also need to buy a fridge slide as it doesn't come out far enough and you can't open your fridge. I'm putting one on the right hand side , the current slide will be handy so you don't have to reach into the back. Apart from that they are really strong , lock and are fairly good quality for something Chinese . Like you mentioned there half the price than anything else, I'm still ahead after also buying a different slide. It will be good to see if anyone else has fit them and has a better idea before I fit mine.

Cheers
Lucas

Hey Lucas,

Thanks for that!

It's a bit disappointing that the slide doesn't do the trick, I did wonder if it would slide out and support the weight well enough. I was thinking a drop slide might be more practical anyway as it brings the fridge down to normal access height. What slide did you get?

I don't have third row seats so i'm OK with space at the back. Can you pull the draws all the way out to get to the wheel release?

Have you thought about just using your rear cargo tie down mounts to fix it in place? I like the idea of being able to take it back out if I need the space to move something big.

No worries mate, I got a Dunn and Watson slidehttp://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=111415157809 . I haven't set it up so can't tell you much about it yet .
Yes the draws do come out the whole way which is good because the whole unit is 75kg.
Yeah I was going to use the tie down mounts and just screw the timber to the bottom of the draw frame by to give me the height I need to open them .
Cheers.

Thanks mate, i'd love to see a pic once you fit it up to see how it comes together.

Will do .

Cheers.

For anyone playing at home or reading this later, I ended up getting a set of the Titan draws (no wings). They're actually pretty decent, and the fringe slide works well and supports my 60l waeco.

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.

Thanks for the photos its great to see what they look like in a D4. I am looking at a set of drawers but probably only for limited use as we usually have the caravan in tow. Just wondering what the access is like to the top of the fridge ? Can you get the fridge lid up on a Waeco? Anyhow given the price I don't think you can go far wrong. Cheers

Given the price you can help local manufacturers go out of business

Got to love the Aussie way...
