    Nice one. It's good to see small business Aussie companies doing well. Another thing I like about your channel is that you keep the whole topic (start to finish) in one episode. Other UA-camrs would have most likely stretched this topic over a few episodes (obviously 4WD builds are different). Keep up the excellent editing work. Makes watching your episodes entertaining.

      @@AussieArvos The length of this video is just spot-on for the topic👌 Even if it was an hour long, it's still so much better than having to wait another week to see the conclusion. Besides, your editing work made it feel shorter that it was. A clear indication for me that I found it entertaining. Keep it up 👍

    Well done for supporting Aussie companies (incl. Evakool). I hope the boys at The Drawer Company pick up more business as a result of this episode. If you're in your mid-20's I'm nearly twice your age but you continue to inspire me with my own 4WD (also an 80 Series but an FZJ80). Well done on the brilliant editing. Keep up the great work 👍

    That slimline void above the fridge would be ideal for a removable/portable camp table. Looks mint otherwise!👌
    EDIT: or a slimline drawer for utensils chopping boards, etc..

    • @AussieArvos
      @AussieArvos  2 роки тому +7

      Agreed! About that gap, the reason it is there is because at the time i wasn't sure what exact fridge i wanted, so to keep options open we left a bit of room, plus i wanted a bit for height for the draws :)
      but I will be building something to fit in there at home soon!

    also the fridge is huuuuge, overkill in my opinion.... we managed with an engel 40l for a family of 4 for a lot of big trips, just need to be space conscious and meal prep. You've got no excuse for running out of cold beers now at least!

    @budget-adventure 2 роки тому

    Great build and great to see a Aussie business doing these draws. But. A lot of guys get the rear draws, big fridges and recovery gear into the wagons and don’t realise they are at or over gvm. I’ve had draw systems before because I wanted to have things more organised, but in the end it just showed I was taking too much stuff on trips. I’ve had my tourer parked up for months with weeks of food sitting in it that I’d never use on 99% of my trips. Now I plan for the next trip, only pack what I need or will use and sold the rest

All I want to do is open the door, pull out the draw and access what I need, with one hand. So, I bought a Norweld tray and canopy for my Dmax. It has draws, shelves, ladder, tables, lithium battery, DCDC charger, 2000w inverter and an upright fridge…..Sweet!

    The problem with these things, for some people, is that they become a permanent fixture in your vehicle and you can't do anything else with the vehicle. And you don't want to be taking these out and putting them back in, if you need the vehicle for some other use. FWIW, my wife an I can go camping for a week or more with just a 50lt fridge and everything else needed, with only our tent on the roof (we could even fit that in the back) and everything else inside the Patrol, no higher than the bottom of the rear windows (and the back seat holding the soft stuff). Everything is easy to get to and easy to pack back. As for meals, they are all pre-prepared, vacuum sealed or in foil boxes and can be heated in a 12V hot box, boil-in-the-bag or fry pan. Been doing this for decades and never saw the need for a drawer system, especially as they add so much more weight.

    Would have liked a tighter fit on top of the fridge, but like you said you had difficulties getting the right fridge.
    So they made it to fit 70-90L fridges that was on the market.

    I built my own drawers about 6 years ago and know what's involved and this company seems to have great ideas to maximise the space.
    The only thing I've come to realise over time is the amount of weight in the drawers is quite significant, to the point I'm seriously considering removing all or part of them to shed some weight. It's a tough call to make especially when you've made them . . . . . . . . . .. . Will see how that goes 😅👍

    Ya know you do not need to go from a garbage dump to spending a whole lot. Building the bed the drawers, the shelving , carpet and the kitchen cost me a total of 45 dollars. You really don’t need to do this. be crafty. Save your money for the expensive stuff. Like that awning. 1900 dollars into I am. Or that expensive frig/freezer. Those beautiful solar gens. Then you’ll get to parts beyond because it’s a never ending project. Like the 400 watt 40ah solar I just put on the suburban . It will not only power the apocalypse truck but it can also power my camper. It gets way outa hand.. really now I’ve more power than I can possibly use and it lead to this... now I’m trying to figure out where to put a real coffee pot, and microwave... seriously.. I spend the last 40 years dirt camping.. I just shake my head now every time I add to this.
