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.

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.

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

Does anyone know if these would fit a GQ ??

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.

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

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.

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..

yeah but look at the size of you mate! haha, i dont know if the drawers would support the weight of our more "sturdily built" members hahaha

Little bird told me that TJM will soon have a drawer system of their own.
About time, I say lol
There must be a way to make a drop down that doesn't cost the earth

If it can hold me it can hold anything you put in them.

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,,,,

Im sure you could buy a sheet of mesh and do the same thing for a lot cheaper

Might replace my solid mdf fridge surround with cage / mesh setup for ventilation reasons...

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.

MSA make cages. Very expensive though
15th February 2016, 03:23 PM

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

This Dunn & Watson shop looks ok for the DIYers out there
some great products, have a look you may find something you like. lol

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 ...

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

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?

If you guys want some custom fridge cages made up throw me a pm..

Good to know, Cheers mate.

Looking at specs of your 47L it sits a little higher than my CFX 50, so mine should be ok i guess.
Dont have a pic do you?

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.

@Bloodyaussie has one in the back of his but I'm pretty sure he doesn't have a 80 ltr waeco though

Oops edit, he has a separate slide for it. I would be very weary using their own slider for an 80, hopefully someone else can confirm.

Pretty sure they don't have a dedicated gq one either and they sell you a Prado one and pray the wings fit in...

Yeah the built in slide is very flimsy. Only made from crappy plywood.

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.

Cheers,
