Howdy all,
I'm just about to build a set of draws for the back of the GQ wagon, even though I have my own ideas I thought I'd ask if any of you guys had any ideas or things you would have done differently after you built them etc. Any photos would be greatly apprieciated, I have seen a few in the DIY section, which were good, but any new idea is a good one.

PS. Is anybody going to the Opposite Lock Challenge at Janowen Hills on the 18 / 19th of Feb, thinking about going down for a look, and would be good to catch up with a few of you guys,

Cheers Tony.

Is it possible you are going to sleep in the car?

I made my drawer height the same height as the folded rear seat so when you fold the seat down you can throw a matress over and It works perfectly!

Thanks AB, wasn't thinking that was possible in a GQ, did you find it still allowed enough heigt for a fridge and slide???

Thanks teleman, I have done as well as a few others. They are good, but fairly exy, I'd rather spend the extra dosh on something else on the truck.

Chhers Tony.

Thanks Ozzyboy, work in progress looks great, much along the lines I was thinking, without the speakers, but they look like a great idea also. It's always good to see what other people are doing, I have to incorporate a duel battery system into mine as well. I will be stating mine very shortly, so will drop a few posts as well.

Cheers Tony.
