I got a bit bored during my days off so after researching all the DIY drawer threads and looking at the price of new sets i decided to knock up my own seeing as how i had most of the bits and peices here , The dimensions are loosely based on the ironman drawers size so here some pics :
The frame in the back checking measurements

Thanks mate , I used 25x25 box tube and bearings for the drawer sliders , I got it so the drawers come out about 3/4 , I have a length of flat steel bolted to the end of the drawers this hits a small peice of 25mm angle which is attached to the drawer frame .
all it takes is 2 screws to take the 25mm angle off which then allows the drawers to come completely out ( hope this makes sense )
cheers

I got longer bolts to suit the existing tie down points in the cargo area and used them
