I'm very happy with my Drifta drawers which I had in the D3 and now in the D4. They only take a few minutes to install for one person and are held in place with 4 turnbuckles attached to the 4 tie down points. Component wieghts are carcass 22kg, drawers 7kg and 8kg, and the optional table about 3kg. So all up about 40kg.

This is without the MSA DS40 fridge drop slider that I have bolted on top of the carcass and weighs in at a staggering 35kg! Great device, but almost a 2 person installation job. I'm thinking of trying to rebuilding it with an aluminium base and side frames.

The BOAB system I have shown above is secured in place by four turnbuckles attached to the existing Land Rover luggage tie-down points in the rear of the vehicle. Couldn't be simpler.

I would imagine that many of the other systems discussed on here are secured in a similar fashion.

I can remove my system by myself in no more than about 10 minutes.

1. Empty and remove the fridge.
2. Remove the four plastic boxes from the drawer system.
3. Undo and disconnect the four turnbuckles, one on each corner of the "box".
4. Lift the drawer box assembly out of the back of the vehicle - without the fridge and the plastic boxes, it is not heavy at all.
