If you\u2019re looking to transform your 4WD<\/a><\/strong>, 4×4<\/a><\/strong>, Ute<\/strong> <\/a>or SUV<\/strong> <\/a>– a good quality set of rear drawers<\/a><\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re considering building DIY rear drawers<\/a><\/strong> – read this article before you commit to anything! We\u2019re going to show you the cheapest way to get quality 4wd drawers<\/a><\/strong> in the rear of your vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few years ago – DIY rear drawers<\/a><\/strong> were the only cheap option for anyone looking for 4×4<\/strong> drawers<\/strong><\/a> – 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<\/a><\/strong> from 4WD Supacentre<\/a><\/strong> and Adventure Kings<\/a><\/strong> for well under $450?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now – before you say \u2018yeah but I can build a set for cheaper\u2019 – let\u2019s crunch some numbers on some extremely cheap and basic rear drawers<\/a><\/strong> that you can build yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT YOU NEED TO BUILD REAR DRAWERS<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These basic drawers are a simple two drawer<\/a><\/strong> design – the drawers<\/strong> <\/a>simply slide on the bottom bit of timber – no drawer runners<\/a><\/strong>, and no wings over your wheel arches. First of all – you will need the timber – for two drawers<\/a><\/strong>, a top, bottom and sides – you\u2019ll be looking at around $170. Next – marine carpet<\/a><\/strong> – normal marine carpet<\/a><\/strong> from your local hardware store will be about $40 per metre – so you\u2019ll need roughly $120 of marine carpet<\/a><\/strong>. Then you need screws, glue, and a few other small accessories like handles and locks and let\u2019s throw in some metal edging to give it a neat look – That\u2019s about $80. Finally $20 of nuts and bolts to fasten the drawers into the back of your 4WD<\/a><\/strong>, ute<\/strong> <\/a>or SUV<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0 That\u2019s $390 for a simple drawer setup<\/a><\/strong> – 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you know that you could purchase a set of high quality Titan Rear Drawers<\/a><\/strong> from Adventure Kings<\/a><\/strong> and 4WD Supacentre<\/a><\/strong> 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?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Titan Rear Drawers<\/a><\/strong> are around the same price – and much better than those simple drawers<\/strong> we put together (in a paragraph). For starters both drawers<\/strong> roll on high quality double roller bearings – so they are smooth to use and are extremely strong. The Titan Twin Drawers<\/a><\/strong> have a built-in fridge slide<\/a><\/strong> – If you wanted to add one of these to your DIY drawers<\/a><\/strong> – you\u2019re 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<\/a><\/strong> thant you can use to make a set that perfectly fits the back of your 4wd<\/a><\/strong>, Ute<\/strong> <\/a>or SUV<\/a><\/strong>. There\u2019s another $100 of value at least that you get with Titan Rear Drawers<\/a><\/strong> that you don\u2019t with DIY drawers<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few years back, I attempted to make a set of rear drawers<\/a> <\/strong>for the back of my wagon- as well as a custom built fridge slide<\/a><\/strong>. I spent the whole weekend cutting, measuring, carpeting and building while sweating in the stinking hot sun. At first, the rear drawers<\/a> <\/strong>worked a charm- same goes with the fridge slide<\/a> <\/strong>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<\/a><\/strong> and replacing it with a good quality set of titan rear drawers<\/a> <\/strong>from 4wd supacentre<\/a>.<\/strong> 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<\/a><\/strong> from Adventure Kings<\/a> <\/strong>in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Titan Rear Drawers<\/a><\/strong> 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<\/a><\/strong> 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<\/a><\/strong>, ute<\/a><\/strong>, and many SUVs<\/a><\/strong>. The mounts are adjustable so you can use pre-existing mounting points in the rear of your 4WD<\/strong> <\/a>– meaning less drilling into your 4WD<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like all the gear offered by 4WD Supacentre<\/a><\/strong> and Adventure Kings<\/a><\/strong>– you\u2019re getting the very best quality gear for the lowest price you can find. When it comes to rear drawers<\/a><\/strong> – Titan Rear Drawers<\/a><\/strong> are so cheap, you couldn\u2019t build a set that\u2019s 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\u2019re getting great quality, for such low prices. So put the tools away – grab a set of Titan Rear Drawers<\/a><\/strong> for your 4wd<\/a><\/strong>, Ute<\/strong> <\/a>or SUV<\/strong> <\/a>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<\/a> <\/strong>offered by Adventure Kings<\/a> & 4wd Supacentre<\/a><\/strong> – you\u2019ll thank us later!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
