If you’re looking to transform your 4WD, 4×4, Ute or SUV – a good quality set of rear drawers in the back will be one of the best investments you can make. They will give you extra storage, and neaten everything up – all your gear will have a place – not just thrown in the back with no order.

If you’re considering building DIY rear drawers – read this article before you commit to anything! We’re going to show you the cheapest way to get quality 4wd drawers in the rear of your vehicle.

A few years ago – DIY rear drawers were the only cheap option for anyone looking for 4×4 drawers – because all pre-made options were well into the thousands of dollars. But did you know you can get a set of Titan Rear Drawers from 4WD Supacentre and Adventure Kings for well under $450?

Now – before you say ‘yeah but I can build a set for cheaper’ – let’s crunch some numbers on some extremely cheap and basic rear drawers that you can build yourself.

WHAT YOU NEED TO BUILD REAR DRAWERS

These basic drawers are a simple two drawer design – the drawers simply slide on the bottom bit of timber – no drawer runners, and no wings over your wheel arches. First of all – you will need the timber – for two drawers, a top, bottom and sides – you’ll be looking at around $170. Next – marine carpet – normal marine carpet from your local hardware store will be about $40 per metre – so you’ll need roughly $120 of marine carpet. Then you need screws, glue, and a few other small accessories like handles and locks and let’s throw in some metal edging to give it a neat look – That’s about $80. Finally $20 of nuts and bolts to fasten the drawers into the back of your 4WD, ute or SUV.  That’s $390 for a simple drawer setup – without factoring in the full weekend of work you need to put into it or factoring in any mistakes you make that need more gear purchased.

Did you know that you could purchase a set of high quality Titan Rear Drawers from Adventure Kings and 4WD Supacentre for around the same price (give or take $25-50) right now – and have them fully installed and ready to use before next weekend hassle free?

Titan Rear Drawers are around the same price – and much better than those simple drawers we put together (in a paragraph). For starters both drawers roll on high quality double roller bearings – so they are smooth to use and are extremely strong. The Titan Twin Drawers have a built-in fridge slide – If you wanted to add one of these to your DIY drawers – you’re looking at an extra $200. You can also get wings to perfectly suit many models of 4WDs (Most Patrols, Land Cruisers and Prados) – or a DIY wing kit thant you can use to make a set that perfectly fits the back of your 4wd, Ute or SUV. There’s another $100 of value at least that you get with Titan Rear Drawers that you don’t with DIY drawers.

A few years back, I attempted to make a set of rear drawers for the back of my wagon- as well as a custom built fridge slide. I spent the whole weekend cutting, measuring, carpeting and building while sweating in the stinking hot sun. At first, the rear drawers worked a charm- same goes with the fridge slide I built myself. But after about a month, the marine carpet started to peel, the plywood began falling apart and the fridge slide almost seized up completely- not to mention the fact that I had no way to lock them when I was parked on the street. I ended up ripping the entire rear drawer setup out and replacing it with a good quality set of titan rear drawers from 4wd supacentre. I felt so silly doing this because I thought iot was going to be the most epic setup ever- but I wish I had gone with a set of rear drawers from Adventure Kings in the first place.

Titan Rear Drawers are fully lockable, have a tough as nails galvanized steel frame and so many more features that make them the best value for money rear drawer you can buy in Australia. And thanks to the innovative design of the galvanized steel frame – you can mount them in almost any full sized wagon 4WD, ute, and many SUVs. The mounts are adjustable so you can use pre-existing mounting points in the rear of your 4WD – meaning less drilling into your 4WD.

Like all the gear offered by 4WD Supacentre and Adventure Kings– you’re getting the very best quality gear for the lowest price you can find. When it comes to rear drawers – Titan Rear Drawers are so cheap, you couldn’t build a set that’s close to similar quality for cheaper. We can do this because we buy in huge volumes, cut out the middle men, and work on razor thin margins – so you’re getting great quality, for such low prices. So put the tools away – grab a set of Titan Rear Drawers for your 4wd, Ute or SUV and go camping this weekend with your mates, loved ones and family instead of spending it sweating it out in the shed trying to build a set of DIY Rear Drawers anywhere near as good as the Titan Rear Drawers offered by Adventure Kings & 4wd Supacentre – you’ll thank us later!
