Rear Drawers final decisions

[BigRAWesty]

I have a 50mm slide out table.
Had plans to add 4 fold out legs to but having the 2 kids aswell it's not quite big enough.
So we carry the blow moulded table on the racks..

Thanks Rossco, I only wanted to use marine because I know how durable it is (had 5 boats), only prob is yep! flexibility, the auto carpet is on my list and has a bit more flex, IMO I recon it looks better too, it matches the car interior in appearance and color also (black), I am gunna use the Kwik Grip Gel for sticking it on as its a good product and price, considering the spray on but never used it.

I just checked out the UES Slides and it seems IRS in WA and QLD sell an identical set, I typed in the model number I was given off the UES website and got the IRS product which gave an excellent overview including a you tube video to look at the slides in packaged,opened,extended,locked etc. well worth a look if anyones considering looking into 125KG fully extended 1800mm in total slides, UES had them for $66 non locking and $75 locking 900mm closed 1800mm extended. I'll head down there over the next week or so and have a physical look at them.

The Full Boar Drawers are well worth a look at, Ive been on the website this week and may even give them a call, the prices he has on ebay are for a lower end setup (not quality just application) and Im looking for something which requires a modification or 2, If they come to the party Id be happy to purchase a locally sourced product, (with respect to other interstate Genuine Australian Manufacturers).

Cheers and Thanks

Locking are great because they hold the drawers open as well as shut, BUT you only really need one locking slide per drawer, so if you are making a pair of drawers buy one locking pair of slides and one pair of normal.

Reason being if you have both sides locking it can be tricky to operate both locking latches and pull the drawer open at the same time.

Hi Dave,

Agreed the auto carpet does look good, matches the interior pretty well. I ended up recovering the inside of the doors and the side panels with the carpet too which looks really good. I also did a fold down table on the barn door which is one of the best things I've done to the 4by, and probably cost less than 20 bucks.

Sounds like you got some pretty good prices on the sliders, I defiantly paid more than that for mine. Same as what Crate said about the lock out, they should be one of each if sold as a pair, but worth checking.

Good luck, with mine I kind of just nutted it out along the way, and they came up pretty well. It was fun and is rewarding making them yourself, and can save some $$$. I can chuck up some photos if you like.

I did mine in marine carpet. The base plate and the top plate extend past the vertical sides by the thickness of the drawer fronts plus the thickness of the carpet.
Wrapping the carpet on the drawer fronts is easy, just glue a piece on the front, then cut a slit from each corner, 45 degrees out and then tap the edges down with a mallet. The contact glue holds it well.
I did mine this way to use the top and base to stop any possible rattle and the drawer sides had approx. 4mm gap between them.
This means that when you slam the drawers shut, the front plates are completely jammed against each other and between the top and base
The sliders came off Ebay and are rated 100Kg
