Hi All,

Thanks..

Give BOAB a call. They do some good drawer systems for the D3. Or maybe Iain (10forcash) can sort you out, can certainly fit them for you.

London Lad, have a look at my gallery. There are pics of my AFRICAN OUTBACK drawer system and fitting.
I am about to re-fit them to my G4, but I will not be mounting the ENGEL fridge on top. It's too heavy when full laden and shags the sliding left hand side top.
The drawers themselves are mega strong and are top quality. Not cheap though...

LL,
Does this mean you and your mate are going to adventure (despite the episode with buying the Vogue)?
PS - SpanishFly, just saw your 24.3L/100km!? (approx 10mpg) Are you pretty aggressive off the light? I have a winch (hidden), expo rack and MTRs and even in GGS for most of winter, I still get 12.5mpg. Of course, my kids are not proud of that fact

I contacted BOAB for prices on their load guards, separator and top shelf. But he seemed reluctant to supply without selling me his drawer system.
All OUTBACK IMPORT distributors can suppy the AFRICAN OUTBACK drawers. I bought mine from the distributor in Barcelona, but have since bought other O.I. stuff and MATKZER and RASTA stuff from DUCKWORTH LAND ROVER in Lincolnshire. Mega efficient and all packages arrived in record time with TNT and expertly packaged.
I tried contacting 10forCash for some RASTA gear but he didn't answer me
phurley, that is the best mpg I have ever had In Spain you need to drive fast to keep up with the traffic

Do the Black widow or the African outback systems allow you to stow stuff each side of the actual draws? i.e. can you lift up the sides of the new 'floor' to get access?

Would I forget TFC !.

On the A.O. drawers, you can remove the covers on each side of the drawers to access the space. It's useful for storing stuff which you don't need to get to in a hurry. They are secured with knurled knobs which simply unscrew. They are not hinged panels, they simply lift out.

Nope, but I used some length of special rails made by ARB which come with 'slide and lock' tie towns. They're mega strong and very versatile and cheap too.

I emailed BOAB last night and they came back with prices and details first thing this AM plus some rather snotty comments about my land rover cargo barrier being crap! Why do vendors do that, it's a silly sales technique, slagging the customers previous choices is just the same as slagging the customer.
Emailed Duckworth but the email bounced back so I called them, hung on and now I'm still waiting for a call back.
You would think these people would be on the ball in a recession wouldn't you.
PMed TFC but he will probably be under a car so I expect I will hear from him tonight.
Anyone used any other systems ?.

I had the same arrogance from BOAB. Basically said that my drawers were and would only supply cargo barrier, shelf, etc. if I bought his BLACK WIDOW drawers. I don't like being d1cked about. Like you say anyone would think we're not in a recession!
