Awesome work, looks awesome mate... Agree with the Evakool draw fridges, used them in my last few builds, wouldn't use anything else anymore... Love them, and compared to a chest fridge + a slide/Drop Slide, they save weight and cost... Only thing, ... and I don't want to seem like "that" guy.... But with the inverter, that wire wasn't large enough to suit 3000w inverter (the stuff Renogy supply, can't actually handle it at load, it will get hot and melt eventually if you start using to capacity). And there wasn't a breaker/fuse on it in case it does. Just be careful with it. My 2000W renogy pulls around 170amp at full tilt, and you need at least 70mm2 wire for it. 3000w, you're going to need at least handle 250amp (which is like 120mm2)... Granted if you're never going to use the 3000w, you can get away with it, but future proofing is always best (imo)... Last thing you want is a fire, especially right above your lithium.
Oh your THAT guy 😂. Nah all good I was waiting for someone to say it. At the time of install I didn’t have any other cables there. I’ve since got ( but yet to install ) twin 70mm cables for both pos and negative. So 140mm cable which is more then enough for 3000w. Having said that I think I’ve only ever once had the unit at capacity and they was to test it out. Most of the time it’s only getting about 90-140amp at any given time while cooking. But you are absolutely correct. I’m much better of future proofing it ( which I plan on doing ). Thanks for watching and for the feedback.
@@Australian4x4Adventures Hahaha, to be honest, I assumed you where already ahead of the game, you usually are.... twin 70 will be mint .... But I just had to say it in case... hahaha
Love ya build. To organise my cables I've used Nylon Cable Drag Carrier for the Fridge power lead and same for 240v lead for induction cooktop because its mounted and can still unplug/lift out when cooking on the camp table. The cable carrier works on the same principle as on 3D printer. It's especially good at stopping the fridge plug/lead from hooking up and disconnecting from the fridge
Awesome kitted out, I'm hoping to sort out my girlfriend car, she has a Dacia duster, I'm now taking stuff from my Peugeot 208 which also has a Tentbox, but now stripping it down to put on my girlfriend and also going to fit a side awning, I'd love to sort out a power supply for my fridge freezer and get USB charger sorted, on goong project 👍😉 nice job .. Ps your 240v use a bungee cord and cable tie the lead to it, hence it will pull back to it's original position 😉👍🔌💡
Excellent work.👌 Looks like a bought one. 😁 While I'll never build my own drawers, there is something about watching builds like this that relaxes me. 👍
Great idea as alway. Personally just needs the koan roof shelf just for hats towels and rain jackets with the family day outs, big fan of the channel keep up the great work.
I made a set of your first vid and came across an app called smart cut its was free with upgrade option. This app made the cut sheet really easy to make the most of the ply sheet with minimal waste thanks for the vid might be time for an upgrade.
Used the same timber panels for my food prep and cooking tops, but used food grade Beez wax instead, it's holding up pretty good so far, might need a wipe off and re-apply every 12months.
Steve… just wanted to say thanks for destroying my next few weekends. 😂 Seriously, really love the inspiration and your vids - thanks for sharing. New subscriber in your area, hope to see you on the road some time!
Awesome job mate, I’ve just purchased a drawer fridge for the back of the 200 series and I’m looking to do something very similar 🤘and there’s so much more room left over to put the kids stuff I like it a lot.
Awesome build. Youve inspired me to build my own. Especially after my sister and brother in law told me how much they paid for theirs!! I have a question: You used formply for some of your build. I have 17mm formply in the shed but was told the it doesn't glue well. I want to carpet my build. Could i used the formply for whole build or is it better to get standard ply? Cheers and thanks again for your in depth videos.
Great build and awesome detail in the video. I do have a question though,, you chose to go with drawer slides instead of teflon slides, what is the reason for the change?
It was mainly due to the drawer in drawer setup. I needed the full Extention in the runners to make the lift up table work. Teflon drawers rely on a counter lever and they end up pointing down hill. I couldn’t have that with a table setup.
This is going to help me so much with my hilux tub over haul. I was hoping for you to have a permanent travel buddy installed, guess i have to figurethat part out. After seeing this its made consider a draw fridge, because i too need to get a pram in the back plus the dogs. My old weaco is just getting in the way and i can find a location for it that I'm happy with. Also the coffee table hinge system may need another one in the middle to help stabilise it.
Hopefully this is helpful for ya then. Re the travel buddy. I’m half considering doing a gull wing window. If I do I’ll set it up on that side facing out the window. That’s why I didn’t permanently mount it anywhere just yet. To do a center hinge I’d need to also mount a divider which I don’t wanna do. Plus I don’t think a third would help. They need to be linked to stop the warping. But that would take up room in the drawer as well. It’s a small trade off
@@Australian4x4Adventures I used Velcro tape over the rubber feet’s on underside of travel buddy and stick to carpet and it’s very useful and hard to pull off as well, loved it.. the hook side tape.. I bought from Bunnings in a roll with hoop and hook tape in black. Used hook for anything to stick on the carpet.. many thanks for your draw video. 😊
Great timing as I'm about to start on my new system. Love the way you are doing the kitchen and all. I asked at Bunnings for a roller like you use and they had no clue and nothing like it. Closest I could find was a small one for fibreglass so hopefully it works OK. I can't say too much about what I'm doing with my build though until my videos come out but will be a lot different to what I currently have. Great job on it mate yet again. Hopefully mine turns out as good.
If you look in the description I’ve left a link to a laminate roller on Amazon. If you use the link I get a small kickback which goes towards the channel.
@Australian4x4Adventures thats exactly why I filmed my original build for the Pajero, there were very few and far between at the time and that led to me forming a channel. Looking forward to my new build though and can't wait to get it all done amd a shake down trip.
Great Video! Thanks so much. Apologies if I missed it, but how thick is the ply? Also...love the improv on the back for the seat angle...It got me to pay attention to that in my build.
I used melamine edge banding instead of Teflon as needed to keep the cost down (cheap). Coated with silicon spray to help sliding. Has held up for 12 months so far. Thanks for the build tips
Oh sure, noooow you come out with this “detailed” video! 😆🤙. Lol, jk, it’s great! I literally, finally, finished my drawer build like a week ago! 80% of it was thanks to you and your last video brother. 🙏🙌🙏. Can’t thank you enough Steve! Seriously I love it. Such a game changer. 🤙🍻
Definitely need to add some tiedown rails to that top shelf, you don't want to get brained in the back of the head by a flying box if things get a little sideways. You're giving me some ideas for if I re-do the storage in the back of my ute.
@Australian4x4Adventures check out the universal pet barriers on the market, nowhere near as strong as a cargo barrier but can be removed really easily and suoer handy when you're loading up the back with the odd loose bits. I had one that clamped to the seat headrests that stopped bags and stuff spilling forward. Probably won't stop a travel buddy flying into your head though, not much of a safety feature
Hi steve I just got my self 2016 y62. An loke build drawers like yours couple questions did you put false floor in the back an were find the measurements for that an the drawers cheers. Love the show keep up the good work.
Setup looks awesome!! 👍 Might just be my ocd, but I would love to know your thought behind it...why didn't you place the Renogy monitor in the place of the inverter switch and vice versa, just so screen is horizontal and easier to read and switch is close to your extension leads? Also, awhile back, Costco sold retractable 10m extension leads, pretty sure Bunnings may sell it also.
To be honest it was a height thing. I had a set height I needed to have left over on top for stuff I needed to pack and the shunt monitor is 15mm taller then the switch. I know it sounds like Bugga all but it made a difference between me getting my second fridge in and not.
Hey mate, great video and some smart ideas and evolution to the drawers. Out of interest, what caused you move away from the previous ‘Teflon’ drawers and fridge setup you had?
i saw that you used nylon slides like drifta a few years ago, whats your reason for going back to rail slides? did they nylon ones not handel weight well?
Are you still doing custom builds? I have a 2022 Jeep Rubicon Unlimited and was going to go with Goose Gear but love your kitchen slide. I live in Washington too. Love to have you build me a kitchen if your still tinkering around in your shop.😁
Hahaha. No comment on that one haha. I didn’t even know he was putting a drawer video out the same day either. That was just complete coincidence. Each have there good and bad points. At the end of the day as long as it’s fit for your purpose that’s all that really matters
Love the set up mate. Very well thought out. Did you make the floor also? If not, which floor brand did you go for and where do you store your jack etc now.
Nah I went with the full boar false floor. For the price isn’t wasn’t worth my time to figure it all out hahaha. I haven’t actually finished mounting the jack and stuff yet but the plan is to mount it behind the fridge where all the wiring is
Great vid! Really comprehensive- thanks! How do you find the runners go in comparison to the teflon/plastic sliders? If you weren't doing the full fancy-pants set-up, would you go back to the teflon? Cheers!
If I was just doing a simple drawer with nothing else in it I’d go the Teflon again. It worked really well. But unfortunately that wouldn’t of worked for what I done this time
Thanks mate! (I hope for your sanity, your comprehensive video explaining everything after answering so many questions doesn't lead to a whole lot more questions!)
Steve Where'd you get the extendable leg from? been looking for a short one for my table. Also if you want a nice half height barrier to fit above those draws hit me up
I’m actually thinking of a half height barrier but I want something that’s quick to get in and out and something to hold the travel buddy. Lots of requirements hahaha. I got the leg from the website snowys
Well done! Did you account for carpet thickness in your measurements? I've planned my own drawers with bare timber, but now I'm worried it wont fit if i carpet 😬 should i take a few mill off or will the carpet just squash into place? (Using automotive carpet from bunnings)
Hi Steve, great build mate, definitely more user friendly than the 200 draw system build,good use of space. Will you put in a cage barrier down the track?
Thanks mate. I’m thinking one of the koan lightweight cargo barriers that are pretty easy to remove. And I’ll prolly only have it in for big trips I’ve never been a fan of cargo barriers. Blocks Too much view
you dont need screws if you put your nails in at 7 degree angles against each other. they can not pull out that way, but if you want to put in screws as well, do so.
If I was using a framing nail or a thicker gauge nail I would agree. But using a Brad gun, I wouldn’t try the thickness of the nails to just bend. With the twisting and vibration you get in a 4wd it gets a beating
Awesome. I'm stealing some of your design ideas. To fix that twisting problem on the timber top, add a divider in the middle of the drawer and install a third lift bracket. Problem solved.
Hey mate, I’m an Aussie myself, looking to get my head around a drawer system for my car but can’t figure out how much wood I need, or the measurements to cut, any chance you’d be able to assist me in that lol 😅
Hey mate. There’s a photo of the cutting list in this video for a y62 set if that’s what you’re making. But if it’s something else then that’s something I’d need to look at. Most jobs take about 2 sheets of board.
@@Australian4x4Adventures yeah I’d be going for a two drawer left and right with one drawer having the two slides. If it’s something you’d be keen to work on even for the channel, let me know coz the help is definitely something I would need haha!! I’m trying to make Australia first fully equiped 2015 CRV Off-roader haha
Great build there Steve and yes how much stuff do people need to go camping? Sure camping as a family will require a bit more stuff mainly for the kids and obviously more food but there is no need for 4 or more draws. A bit disappointed you did not use teflon slides, always get a laugh when you piss Luke off lol 😂
@@Australian4x4Adventures What! Really, what have you done this year to piss him off,? Certainly don't recall any videos you did this year that would have pissed him off.
Looks awesome Steve, you make a good carpenter one day 🤣 Did I see you tech screw the drawers done on the base in the back of the vehicle or did you actually mount them to where the 3rd row seats mounts were ? With your iTech DC to DC (same one I purchased 😁- Thanks for the Discount code👍) did you end up running a fuse in on the battery side & the Solar input side ? ✌
False floor is bolted to the 3row seats and then the Drawers are screwed ( lots of them ) to the false floor. I put a fuse at the battery side for the power in but I don’t actually use the solar input on the charger at this stage. When it if I do I’ll use a fuse
@@Australian4x4Adventures I think Shaun is the new guy on the block owning Mission 4x4 in lansdale WA.. and yes it is company. My point was the design for self build inspiration. Cheers😊
@@Australian4x4Adventures I just had a set of drawers built for my 62 (no time to do them myself as a fifo worker) I’m starting to re think my design already 😂
It could be done that way but it would make it very hard to see pencil lines and marks. Plus if things get modified it just means re painting again so I always found it easier to just paint it once built.
Has a van and trailer and says it's crazy to have a full car.... 2 adults and 2 kids 9 days and all remote.... still only just the car... Calling the kettle black?😂

You should do tutorials Steve, that was excellent. You could sell your designs and give away a Y62 with every set.
I love you're diy video's like this i get so much useful information from this in a understandable way
Glad it was helpful!
Looks good Steve thanks for sharing.

Legend thanks mate.
I’m looking into a cargo barrier for the setup as well
I was thinking you could make one that hinges from the top of the carpet so it folds flat when not in use but always available.
I made a set of your first vid and came across an app called smart cut its was free with upgrade option. This app made the cut sheet really easy to make the most of the ply sheet with minimal waste thanks for the vid might be time for an upgrade.

Hopefully this helps you make ya own for ya new fridge then.
What do you think would be better, having the lift-up coffee hinge or a solid top with a drawer that comes out instead?
Lift up hinge. If it was another drawer it’s extra weight and would become even more unstable with the counter leaver
Awesome build. Youve inspired me to build my own. Especially after my sister and brother in law told me how much they paid for theirs!! I have a question: You used formply for some of your build.

15mm ply.
Best channel on the tube

Is the carpet you used the Bunnings marine carpet without the rubber backing? it looks a bit thinner than the one you used in the previous build
Yep that’s exactly what I used. It folds easier around corners.

Thanks mate! (I hope for your sanity, your comprehensive video explaining everything after answering so many questions doesn't lead to a whole lot more questions!)
Hahaha. I don’t mind. I like talking to ppl and helping where I can
Well, for what it's worth, having read through the comments here and elsewhere, you've helped a lot of people and it's much appreciated. Cheers!
Steve Where'd you get the extendable leg from? been looking for a short one for my table. Also if you want a nice half height barrier to fit above those draws hit me up
I’m actually thinking of a half height barrier but I want something that’s quick to get in and out and something to hold the travel buddy. Lots of requirements hahaha.
I got the leg from the website snowys
Thats a mint setup 👌 Did I hear the Transformers noise as you opened up all the drawers? Is there plans for a half cargo barrier?
Hahaha. I soooo should of added that sound effect 😝
Well done! Did you account for carpet thickness in your measurements? I've planned my own drawers with bare timber, but now I'm worried it wont fit if i carpet 😬 should i take a few mill off or will the carpet just squash into place? (Using automotive carpet from bunnings)
I did take a few mm off for all the carpeted sections
Is that marine ply ? also what thicknes are you using?
15mm construction ply.
Great video - is the whole set up made from 20mm?
15mm construction ply.
Aweosme content mate! Keep it up!
Thanks mate.
Hi Steve, great build mate, definitely more user friendly than the 200 draw system build,good use of space. Will you put in a cage barrier down the track?
Thanks mate. I’m thinking one of the koan lightweight cargo barriers that are pretty easy to remove. And I’ll prolly only have it in for big trips
I’ve never been a fan of cargo barriers. Blocks
Too much view
Good stuff mate
Glad you enjoyed it
Dig this
you dont need screws if you put your nails in at 7 degree angles against each other. they can not pull out that way, but if you want to put in screws as well, do so.
If I was using a framing nail or a thicker gauge nail I would agree. But using a Brad gun, I wouldn’t try the thickness of the nails to just bend.
With the twisting and vibration you get in a 4wd it gets a beating
Awesome. I'm stealing some of your design ideas. To fix that twisting problem on the timber top, add a divider in the middle of the drawer and install a third lift bracket. Problem solved.
Hey mate what size/ weight slides did you use
Should of done Teflon sides 😂 old mate would of love that
😂. Been there and don’t want anymore legal letters 😂
Hi Steve what size ply are you using for these draws
It’s all 15mm ply
Awesome thanks
Great work and functionality..wondering how many hours do you guess it took ?
There was prolly 10hrs of solid work in it.
@@Australian4x4Adventures hey thanks so double it for those of us without all the skills :) keep up the great information
Hey mate, I’m an Aussie myself, looking to get my head around a drawer system for my car but can’t figure out how much wood I need, or the measurements to cut, any chance you’d be able to assist me in that lol 😅
Hey mate. There’s a photo of the cutting list in this video for a y62 set if that’s what you’re making.
But if it’s something else then that’s something I’d need to look at.
Most jobs take about 2 sheets of board.
@@Australian4x4Adventures yeah I’d be going for a two drawer left and right with one drawer having the two slides. If it’s something you’d be keen to work on even for the channel, let me know coz the help is definitely something I would need haha!!
I’m trying to make Australia first fully equiped 2015 CRV Off-roader haha
@TwoNuggs dm on insta or Facebook and we can talk.
@@Australian4x4Adventures too easy!
Good one 😊
Thanks 😊
Nice set up
Thanks!👍👍👍👍
Great build there Steve and yes how much stuff do people need to go camping? Sure camping as a family will require a bit more stuff mainly for the kids and obviously more food but there is no need for 4 or more draws. A bit disappointed you did not use teflon slides, always get a laugh when you piss Luke off lol 😂
Hahahaha. I’ve had my quota of legal letters for this year already so I’m trying to keep my nose clean 😂.
Glad you liked the video as well
@@Australian4x4Adventures What! Really, what have you done this year to piss him off,? Certainly don't recall any videos you did this year that would have pissed him off.
Nah nothing from Luke.
Offroad animal was my last legal letter.
@@Australian4x4Adventures I do remember that video, Offroad Animal was successfully sued by Ironman. If memory serves me correctly.
Well they settled out of court.
Very nice setup there. Did you happen to weigh the draws with the hardware for us?
Thanks mate.
54kg in total.
@@Australian4x4Adventures Not bad at all. Thanks for letting me know.
Looks awesome Steve, you make a good carpenter one day 🤣
Did I see you tech screw the drawers done on the base in the back of the vehicle or did you actually mount them to where the 3rd row seats mounts were ?
With your iTech DC to DC (same one I purchased 😁- Thanks for the Discount code👍) did you end up running a fuse in on the battery side & the Solar input side ?
✌
False floor is bolted to the 3row seats and then the Drawers are screwed ( lots of them ) to the false floor.
I put a fuse at the battery side for the power in but I don’t actually use the solar input on the charger at this stage. When it if I do I’ll use a fuse
How much material is required for this build? Love the idea for my pajero.
2.5 sheets for the entire job.
@Australian4x4Adventures would malamine be suitable? Ive beeing eyeing off the black sheets at bunnings.
Also will a cut list be available?
Hey mate, might have missed it in the video, what thickness oky are you using?
15mm ply.
Standard ply? Structural ply? Marine ply?
Cracka vid mate, hope you've ditched the drifta bag..
Why not Teflon slides like last time?
Cutting list for Ford Ranger
How thick was ply your using?
15mm.
That’s killer mate
Thanks mate.
Sorry mate,
Shaun’s kitchen build for himself and Ronny has blown me away.
Cheers
to be fair they didn't build them they paid a company
I seen Ronny done a video in drawers as well. Didn’t see Shaun’s.
I’m sure both of them done a great job
@@Australian4x4Adventures I think Shaun is the new guy on the block owning Mission 4x4 in lansdale WA.. and yes it is company. My point was the design for self build inspiration.
Cheers😊
Do a bare necessities camping video and outline things you know people take that they don’t need. Create a controversial comments section 😂
Hahaha. That’s not a bad idea actually 😂.
I do love a good comment section 😝
@@Australian4x4Adventures I just had a set of drawers built for my 62 (no time to do them myself as a fifo worker) I’m starting to re think my design already 😂
Pull the lead retractor out of an old vacuum cleaner.
That’s a good idea
why don't you just paint all the wood before building ?
It could be done that way but it would make it very hard to see pencil lines and marks.
Plus if things get modified it just means re painting again so I always found it easier to just paint it once built.
Has a van and trailer and says it's crazy to have a full car....
2 adults and 2 kids 9 days and all remote.... still only just the car...
Calling the kettle black?😂
Haha. Kinda true.
I have half that stuff because of UA-cam and making content.
When I camp without the cameras it’s a lot simpler
*promosm* ☀️
Looks fing heavy.... not ultimate as that would be aluminium and way light.
I’d argue that ply is lighter.
Couldn't find a retractable power lead 🤣 did you even look 🫣
Even bunnings had them...😅
Couldn’t find one that would fit in the space I had left.
