    Storage draws for GQ wagon

    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!
