Received and Installed some kit from XHQ this weekend. Top notch products! I was really after their pantry system for camping, as it was becoming cumbersome to dig through storage bags to get after food and cooking gear. I ordered 2 XFrames, large pantry and a vaast water canister with gravity faucet.

I couldn't be happier now. Top notch gear and exceptional customer service and communications.

The pantry came equipped with gas struts attached to the door. I felt they were overkill really, and so I replaced those with some basic adjustable nylon straps so I can level the door / use as a table when open. Shipping to the United States via DHL was hassle free and the step-by-step notifications from DHL were great. I paid $100 in duty to import.

Here are some photos. Thanks again XHQ...

Independently of the above, I also installed an iPad mount in the cabin for off-road maps / navigation (I used X-Offroad here in the US - much, much better on an iPad vs. iphone). I am still trying to decide if I like the location. It was a toss up between suction mount by drivers A-pillar and the Agile grab-handle mount. I am trying the suction approach first, as I didn't want the iPad to intrude on the passenger side... for now....

I know, only half the truth:
Happy wife – happy life – for the wife.

And even nicer that the add-on mirror holder also covers a lot of the glare producing gap around the visor retaining clip.

I fitted the wife's side vanity mirror on day 2 of ownership. Couldn't do it on day 1 aa it was late when we got home. I have learnt to delay on some things can be detrimental to my wellbeing

Was it this post someone said "you can be right - or you can be married..."? Amen

Figured I would post an update now that I've finished this little project. Nothing fancy, but works for what I will use it for (until I inevitably fall into the trap of buying a rooftop tent... ) and was much cheaper than the aftermarket solutions out there.

The drawer sticks a little, but if I pull hard enough I don't notice it. Might add some sort of material on the back of the top panel at some point, instead of leaving the plywood exposed. Maybe some sort of rubber material so you could set things on top and have less sliding around.

Any chance you have the specs for the lumber you used? were they 2x6 or 2 by 8s. I like your solution.

They are 2x8s

The base plate and top plate are thicker plywood, I think I used 23/32. The drawer is 1/2 inch I believe.

thanks for the information. This is probably one of the best mods that I have seen so far.
