rear draws from 4wd action

[Malgreen]

So guys i am thinking of buying a new set of draws from these guys..
they look all right on the pc but i wonder what they will be like in the flesh ah steel.. lol
titan draws with built in fridge slide and side wings to suit my Patrol..
here is the link
http://www.4wdsupacentre.com.au/specials/special-offers/weekly-deal-titan-rear-drawer-with-wings-for-toyota-landcruiser-100-series-plus-free-adventure-kings-awning.html

comes with an awning too.. but already got one of them..

so ,, any thoughts??

[Malgreen]

ps..i posted the land cruiser ones by accident,, shame on me,,,LMAO

http://www.4wdsupacentre.com.au/specials/special-offers/weekly-deal-titan-rear-drawer-with-wings-for-nissan-patrol-gu4-plus-free-adventure-kings-awning.html

thats the correct one

[ghagan]

I have some on order and I am expecting delivery tomorrow or Friday, if TOLL can be trusted.. :-) I will let you know how they go..

[Clunk]

they look remarkably similar to these ones http://shoreline4x4.com.au/draw-systems-4wd-c-214.html?osCsid=16a08d5d786e285c7991807acb6895f0

I've seen these set up in in the shoreline shop in Perth, quality wise, they don't seem to bad

[Malgreen]

cheers for that guys..
well i bit the bullet and bought a set,
now i did this over the phone as i asked about the wings for a 2008 gu as they didnt have these advertised ..
the lady i spoke to ( Kylie ) was very help full and service was really good.. to my surprise.
so i will see how long they will take to get to perth..
Oh she also said that freight on these was about $300 but the special was freight included ( sweet ).
now i didnt get the awning as i already have one so at $1195 delivered i thought was pretty good deal..
now before any one says " why didnt you just make them myself" well normally i would do this BUT i live out of a storage shed as i work a 4 and 1 roster and cant be bother renting a house
that i will never be at,, so my week off i either go camping or i go to Bali...lol... living the dream..hahhaa

[Stropp]

i have the very first shoreline ones and i was the guinea pig and mine ar good so far, done the simpson loaded up and no dramas.

[Malgreen]

well when i get them i might do a photo gallery of the install..
just in-case some one else gets them..

[ghagan]

Hi Everyone.. Well I received my TITAN DRAWERS.. After a slightly painful TRANSPORT / FREIGHT issue which I wont go into except to say that it had nothing to do with 4WD Supacentre. All boxes arrived at my residence..

2 Boxes to do with the Drawers, and one other that I purchased at the same time.

1 box contains the SIDE POD/WING pieces and the mounting bolts that are specific to the vehicle. This was a small box of about 2kg..
The other box is a big one.. It contains everything else. The full DRAWERS, FRAME and Fridge Slide.. all 90% assembled.. It weighs 80+kg..

The quality of the product is absolutely awesome. I am completely wrapped. No complaints at all.. Although I may trim a little bit off of one of the side wings to make it fit easier. It is very VERY tight at the moment. Maybe settling will help but we will see..

Were there any problems in the installation.. Nope.. was all straight forward. Just a bit fiddly getting such a large component to line up so that it is central and lines up with the mounting holes.. Instructions are pretty limited and straight forward though.. Anyone with a little sense and knowledge will be able to fit them in about 1 1/2 hours but it is a 2 person job.. And a good Re-chargable Drill/ Driver will make fitting all the HEX Screws so much easier..

I am going to let it settle for a week or so and then check that all bolts and screws are still tight..

I have a couple of pictures that I will post shortly..

Overall I am very happy..

Cheers.

[bindi]

looks great, I'm gonna get some, and good on 4wdSupaCentre for helping out with that 80 series charity job the other month. Worth my business just for doing that!

[MudRunnerTD]

I reckon thats a Bargain!

[mudski]

80kg. Is that right? I thought they would be half that. Bloody look good though. One day I'll do the same.

[ghagan]

Hi Mudski. Box was labelled as 75kg net, 80kg Gross... I cant really say that they look a lot different to the more expensive ones that I have looked at in the past. As I said.... I am wrapped..

[mudski]

Nah you should be wrapped. It's come up a treat.

[Malgreen]

hey guys i have them installed,, great draws,, had to trim one of the side wings a little but all good, worth every dollar.
also one of my anchor points is more to one side than the drawers so i had to extend out with a bracket..
the passenger side wing didnt allow for the pocket so i removed the pocket,
the fridge slide retaining latch seems a little fragile but if any one has an idea about it please let me know..

have a look at the pics, i will add the finished pics later..
53579
this is the anchor point that wasnt right..
53580
53581
53582
red arrows show where the anchor points are
53583
this is the little latch that holds the fridge slide in place, looks week in my eyes
53584
looking down the guts at the runners,, its good and strong
53585
53586
53587
my fix to get the drawers bolted down on that side,, it arent moving,,lol



just one thing , are 4 bolt down points strong enough? i am thinking of putting a drop down fridge slide on the drivers side for a fridge
and using the slide out bit as a table.. would the 4 bolt down points hold the slide in place?
ok i will put more pics up later when i get back home from work..

cya all

[tallman]

I picked up a set of these draws in November fitted them early December, look to be very solid and strong. Have a problem with drivers side wing being a bit to tight, hard to lock into place. Also the lock pin for the fridge slide doesn't seem to line up correctly, but that will be easy fix.not bad for $1095 free shipping:)

[Dapa]

Hi there, can you please tell me if they rattle when driving.

[mullet_hunter]

Look like good bang for buck...

[Avo]

4wd action superstore has these on special again atm for $895 free delivery.

[mudski]

Anyone know if these will fit if you have a barrier?

[threedogs]

@ Mal certainly look like a quality set of draws, but you'll never convince me to fit a set.
75kg empty wow not going anywhere in a hurry

[megatexture]

the 75kg is a bit of a trade off imo, and lighter and it would have to be made of tin and mdf.
its already been asked but do they rattle?. just curious as the missus has given me the green light for draws as we don't need to use a pram anymore :bananarock: and I see they are advertising them at around 800$ and at that price I'm not wasting my weekend making them lol

[threedogs]

I noticed KingChrome do drawers now,
or give Gary a call @ Outback interiors
They all look like they're built the same
all down to price I suppose

[ghagan]

Nope Mudski, they wont fit with a standard full barrier. I am going to get my barrier cut down I think. I will post photos when and if I do it..

[megatexture]

Can they be fitted if you neeed child restraints

[Evo]

What is the max fridge size that the slide can handle?

Evo

[zorro]

thanks just bought drawers for $895 which was a typo mistake on their page should have been $995 with free postage they honoured the 895.

[Covo71]

Hi Mega, I have been looking into them as we have two little blokes. You need to get a CRA bar for the restraints. The is. A mob that do draws with compliant restraints but they start at $2k.

Spinning you a yarn mate. i bought them last week at $895 and they are still on the net at $895. Anyway I fitted mine last weekend and all OK. One thing, take the jack out of its hidey hole before you fit the corner pieces.Bang Head

[katwoman]

And, if you're a bit simple ( like me), are fitting to a series 1,2,or 3 and plan to leave the carpet in, you still have to pull the carpet back to access bolt hole for rear passenger side. Use the black bolts, not the silver ones, and the drawer with the cut outs go under the fridge slide.

[growler2058]

And, if you're a bit simple ( like me).

Bit??????!

[katwoman]

Bit??????!

Yeah, ok ALOT, R Sole.

[bobby dazzla]

Just fitted a set, very happy for $895 and received in just over a week.

Just a quick photo to throw up in case it helps someone with the install in a series IV.

56158

I mounted my fixing points more towards the front of the vehicle using the baby seat bolts and the front cargo tie down points. I would have only picked up one of the rears if I had it mounted further back and didn't want to modify it to much.

Still feels solid as and I think it will help with the cantilever when all the drawers are pulled out.

Cheers,
Bob

Nice. Maybe stick up an introduction for you and your bus now ? Something polite asked of all new members. Welcome, BTW.

Hi Guys and Girls I'm new to this forum and the Patrol family with my recent purchase of a new Patrol. I'm looking at the titan draws and reading all your comments. only thing that has me thinking twice is the weight. Are they too heavy? Once you load the draws up with a fridge and a battery. I'm worried I might loose fuel economy and power.

Ha, I have a TB48 so I already don't have economy and am not at all concerned about losing power. :-) But seriously, I love these drawers. I now have my second battery mounted in a box on them, and a DC-DC charger. The Fridge lives there almost permanently and the draws are full of all sorts of goodies that normally would be lost in the shed or floating loosely around in the back. Just couldn't be without them now.

The only thing that has stopped me from getting a set is that the fridge sits on top of the draws. I'm what you would call "a short ass".

Hopefully they will start to offer different combinations.

Actually I think I might send them an email to see if they would.

I just stand on the rear bar... or buy Husky's drop down slide ??

[threedogs]

If you're not using both your rear seats you could fit the fridge behind the driver like I have.
My BFF is a short rrrs and has no problems finding stuff in the bottom of the Engel.
Just re fit the seat when back home only 4 bolts.
.Ive since installed a cargo barrier. I have a spare set of hinges
so I can hinge the lid the other way. but its ok ATM
Need to finish that top shelf too he he
Not a big fan of rear drawers, had them in my other 4x4, nah can live without them
What are they 60kg empty??

Well I sent off an email asking if they would offer different combination draws, with my preference being double stacked draws with a floor mount fridge slide. Below is the response.

Hi John,

We will only do the one drawer unit, it cannot be customized im afraid.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Am I the only one that doesn't like a fridge on top of draws.

I know that I can get what I'm after, but at about $2k its alot of $$$

No, your not the only one. I hate fridges on top of drawers. Along with this, the fact titan drawers don't allow access to rear anchor points & weight is why I didn't buy them.

Build your own, I did.

[juzzs8]

Anyone got a photo of how far the fridge slide actually slides out? With their fridge open??

[whitey86]

Does anyone know if these would fit a GQ ??

[besp]

I'm looking at these too and have the same question as juzzs8:

How far does the shelf extend past the front of the front of the drawers and does a fridge lid open clear of the truck roof?

Thanks.

[katwoman]

Depends on your fridge. My 40L Waeco doesn't open the whole way. It extends almost the length of the slide, it's not quite enough

[mudski]

Yeah my 47l ARB fridge doesn't quite open right up but it no biggie really.

Thanks katwoman ans mudski.
We're probably getting a 65l waeco. Taller than both of yours and side hinge rather than end hinge on the arb so I have a feeling this might be an issue.
I'll have to have a really good measure up but I may have to reconsider building my own.

[BigRAWesty]

One thing I've noticed with these steel draws (in general) is they all seem to be really catious about extended weight on the draws..
My outback draws have about a 300mm over lap on the draw when fully extended..
That's a crazy huge amount..
I'm going to pull mine out and mod it so it has a 100mm overlap and you can actually get stuff out from the back of the draws..
I'll assume the fridge slide top is the same but not sure how easy that is to mod..

PM sent ,if you do build your own,,,,,, cage the fridge in so you can pack gear on top as well.
You can buy fridge cages, Ill see if I can find a link
I think these are a great idea,,,,

Mate I'd go to Robot buy a sheet of mesh and go from there, might only cost $60 for a large sheet.
enough to make some covers for the cargo area windows as well ,protect you tint a bit.
You can buy special clips to hold it all together or just tack weld in a few places.

[Winnie]

MSA make cages. Very expensive though

[threedogs]

I think you'd be able to make 2 out of one sheet so that would work out at $30 each
Just use "P" clips to secure to the false floor

EDIT could even clip it the the cargo barrier if that works you may get 3 out of 1 sheet
Could even make a frame from 20 x 20 rhs but I dont think its needed

Mesh is the easy bit, and cheap. Bulding a cage around it strong enough to hold it all together AND be strong enough to hold things on top, like the current MDF construction, is another story... I don't own a welder, nor do I have a slightest clue about welding ...
It's just another "to do" thing for the future ...

[threedogs]

If you get the right size mesh it will support itself its all in the design

[besp]

Dog crates! Plenty on eBay. Could be a good starting point.

Or they could be cut and used for a ventilation "window" in an existing mdf/ply box?

Saving a bob and keeping the ability to put stuff on the cover you could drill a series of 50mm holes in the MDF with plenty of ventilation then.

Had to mount it on drivers side. No ways known it would have fitted the Titan slide. Also tried my drop slide and no good a fit either. Ended up buying a Waeco big slide being quite slimeline and even then it was down to the mm's in positioning. Finally made it work to just clear the open barn door yet keep it hard right and also mm's in being able to still open the lid once out versus not smashing the windows out when closing. It can be done, but just use small wood screws for testing 99 times before bolting down :-) !

I know this is digging a bit of an old thread, but just thought i would give an answer to the OP..
The Titan drawers while not available in a stacked configuration are easily modified.

All up from start to finished product installed in the ute, with a whole lot of procrastination involved and a few beers was about 5 hours.

All thats required
1 x 4 inch grinder with a 1mm cutting blade
10 x M8x25mm Stainless Steel bolts and Nylock Nuts
1 x 17mm Spanner
1 x 15mm Spanner
1 x 13mm Spanner
Allan Keys (preferably to suit an impact driver)
Some bolts or Tech screws to join the drawers

If anyone wants more information relating to this shoot me a message.
