With years of offroad experience, we all remember the days where packing your car was as simple as just ‘chucking it in the back’. We have also all known the stress of trying to find that one small thing you thought you packed but can’t remember for the life of you where it is!

Getting organised when packing your vehicle is simple and can save you from having plenty of headaches later.

These are our top tips for keeping your gear organised when offroad.

Rear Drawers

A set of rear drawers simplifies your packing regime. A set of Titan rear drawers allows you to simply leave bits of gear in your vehicle stashed away at all times, always ready for when you need it.

When shopping around for your rear drawers, it’s a good idea to look out for a set that is built tough, and not just ‘pretty’, because when it counts most, a pretty set of drawers that don’t open are more than just an inconvenience.

A set of Titan Rear Drawers are built with durability in mind and for this reason, every set of double drawers has roller bearings all around and a galvanised steel chassis for extra durability.

Built for a range of vehicles there are 4 main sizes of Titan Rear Drawers;

– The 900mm single drawer great for compact setups
– The 900mm double drawer designed for many smaller wagons like Prados, Pajeros and even SUVs
– The 1070mm double drawers built for bigger 4WD wagons,
– The MASSIVE 1300mm Titan UTE drawers suitable for bigger wagons like Troop Carriers and most Utes.

Packed full of features, the Titan Rear Drawers are self-latching with heavy-duty steel latches, and include built-in tie-down points on all models. The Double drawers all include a FREE Fridge slide and can be adapted to fit many different vehicle sizes with the easy installation wing kits.

It easy to see how a set of Drawers can improve your vehicle’s internal storage and with stacks of features and nearly 1/3 the price of some competitors drawers without sacrificing strength or durability a set of Titan Drawers is ideal!

Steel Roof Racks

Trying to cram everything inside the rear cargo area of your vehicle is like playing Tetris with one hand behind your back. There is no reason to stress yourself out and make life more difficult for yourself!

A solid set of roof racks allows you to easily lash down all the big bulky gear from inside your vehicle freeing up internal space for clearer vision and more delicate cargo.

Like everything else in the accessory world, not all roof racks were created equal, and not all roof racks offer the strength and durability you may need.

Adventure Kings has a massive range of powder coated steel roof racks designed to cop stacks of abuse and punishment when you are off the tracks.

A set of steel racks are typically stronger than their alloy counterparts and when fitted properly (according to with vehicle manufacturer recommendations) can carry a load of up to 500KG!

Constructed for a range of different vehicles there are 7 main styles of Adventure Kings Steel Roof Racks;

– Full-Length Steel Roof Racks – our most popular style large size with cargo rail running the perimeter

– Steel Flat Rack – perfect for keeping roof clearance for underground carparks

All of these models fit a range of different vehicles that come with a rain channel running the perimeter of the roof of the vehicle. Mounts are also available for more specific designs as listed.

If your vehicle isn’t listed; for an example, more modern Mitsubishi Triton, Pajero or Pajero sport, Isuzu M-UX or D-MAX, Toyota Hilux Dual Cab, extra cab or Single cab, Nissan XTrail, Pathfinder, Navara or even the newer Nissan Patrols, plus any other unlisted model of roof rack mount you aren’t out of luck.

Installation of a Steel roof rack is simple without vehicle specific mounts, all steel racks can be mounted using rated U-bolt shackles to fasten a roof rack system to the roof bars or the existing sports racks of a vehicle with very little effort. It is best to check the suitability of this with your local authority. But in an afternoon with some simple hand tools, you can even install a steel roof rack yourself!

These two pro tips allow you to expand and organise your vehicle’s storage with minimal fuss, and without blowing your holiday budget on unnecessarily expensive gear.
