Removable draw system

[bemax]

Thats a good call, @DCPU. I hadn't thought of that as I've always found the boxes that I wanted were often cost prohibitive. I love the Zarges aluminum cases for their robustness, but they are several hundred dollars each; by the time I had enough for my things, I was into ARB drawer territory. We do use Pelicans from time to time, but they are upcycled -- buying new ones is also a bit cost prohibitive, and they are much heavier than the Zarges cases.

But, if those kinds of cases can be had for cheaper (as is the case in most of the world, it seems!) your idea is a really good one. Very versatile.

So maybe you find something here

I used to buy all my Euro boxes direct from Auer, then Brexit, and they wouldn't ship to UK.

Some food for thought:

Never used Zarges but I do love a nice Peli.

Did several work trips to the US. Always took a very cheap suitcase, binned it there and brought everything home in a new Peli. Much cheaper than buying in UK. Also used to pack duty free in a small case and have it as carry on.

Great idea on the luggage-swap @DCPU . The pelicans we have were originally purchased as luggage on my motorbike; they make great panniers except because of the lid, stuff all falls out when you get into camp (Its not as bad as it sounds - for the price and durability, they can't be beat as a pannier) but I eventually upgraded to Tusk aluminum bins and so I was able to recycle my pelicans into food storage. Their seals make them great at keeping critters away from the smells, and where we often camp the critters are called things like 'Grizzly Bear' so its in our best interests not to draw them in!

Motorcycle pannier kit has some adapterbility for Grenadier type vehicles. I used to run a full set of Givi monokey panniers/topbox on an African Twin. Bike long gone but I still have the panniers.

Landrover should have adopted the click and lock idea to their new Defender's side box.

I am looking at getting or making a removable draw system that is held in place with the utility rails.
I have had virtually no experience with draw systems
I would prefer to adapt to a standard system if possible so I can take advantage of what is readily available.
My preference would be something I could install when needed within about 30 minutes.
I have found a variety of options but they are all based on a permanent install and they all look pretty similar
I am not going camping but want to have a fridge/freezer and a couple of drawers.
As my wife is pretty short at 4'11" or 150cm, so not sure if I will need a drop own fridge bracket or just a slide out.
Probably one or two drawers as well
It would be good to have a variety of drawers so I can fit whatever I need for that trip easily
Does anyone have any thoughts or recommendations???

I’m thinking along the same lines myself. A removable drawer system held in place by fixings in the utility rails.

Found another photo of the drawer system online. Unsure if the dog comes with them

That looks like a pretty good solution

How do you get to your hydraulic jack?

How do you get to your hydraulic jack?

Easy. You open the draw and take out your battery powered screwdriver
You then start disassembling the draw

I guess you remove it before the draws go in and find another place.

I wish the Grenadier had a underseat storage like the G wagen

If you don't get the second battery you do have underseat storage.
Then maybe you can put your lithium solution where the Jack goes if you want one.
If you use that draw system it still leaves lots of storage space under the shelves on either side.

Well done. That certainly gives a better perspective on the size of the drawers than the other photo I've seen. They look quite tall.

It looks like the infill panels are fixed? If they are hinged or magnetically attached, there'd be some additional stowage space.

Edit: And Gearmate have similar kit:

Yes, I agree
You would want to have easy access to that space

Does anyone know the brand?

Gearmate

There's a bit more on this thread:

This latest photo shows some changes from the earlier photo which had the manufacturers standard t track towards the side. This appears to have gone, and I wonder if that's now "utility belt" tracking recessed into the top surface:

Edit: or maybe not ~ as it's clearly not on the right side!

 

[DaveB]

I like this idea from Gearmate
Like to put a fridge or an esky on a slideout

And a quick viewing of their social media accounts ( photos on their website are quite poor) throws up this item that looks quite familiar:

That would look good on the back door of the Grenadier

Assume all this will be in the elusive accessories catalogue
