drawer extension/ box
Here are some pics of the rear drawer ext that I built for a trip back in 2010. Made out of 12mm ply, glued and screwed together. It is held down by 2 of the seat mount bolts and 6 x 6mm stainless steel turnbuckles. It is carpeted on the outside and most of the inside. I made a door for each side with barrel bolts to them keep closed and 2 hatches in the top with flush mount latches.
I rolled out a self inflating mattress on top of the box and slept on this for 4 weeks on the trip (Oh I forgot to mention in my intro that I am in a wheelchair (no legs, well not real ones anyway) so I only just fitted across the patrol.
Since that trip I have chopped it in half so we could use the 2nd row passenger seat but I don't have any pics of this as yet.
cheers

Thanks guys. It took a bit of working out but I think I got there in the end. One thing that I did get wrong especially for sleeping was the height of the box as I would have to hunch over when I sat up. It could have been about 4" lower.
Hopefully others will take some ideas from this, that's what these forums are all about.
Cheers

Nice work Greg,
Hang onto that Patrol long enough and give it time, as you get older you'll get shorter and them draws will just the right height:tease:
Seriously though bloody nice set up mate

Lucky you live so far away or I would have a job for you.
Very nice indeed

MC97GQ, NissanGQ4.2, thanks guys. I actually call the box "the coffin" because with just a little push and shove (well you would have to chop my arms off too...bit like that monty python movie....) I could fit inside. The missus doesn't like the saying, but ah well you get that!!
Cheers
