Shamelessly ripped off from one of the guys on IH8MUD.COM........

Get a cheap bit of conti board (ply would be much better), chop saw it into the required sizes for a snug fit between the wheel arches, screw together with 2'' long chip board screws, hold it down with a ratchet strap for safety.........



That left leg looks bent - just checked - it isn't - must be the camera angle haha

The roller drawers are the under bed storage type - £7.90 from B&Q with lids that hinge from both ends so its easy to get to all your junk........



This drawer contains recovery & safety type stuff and first aid kit........



The other drawer is full of tools, oils, spares, etc.

I will finish it off with some carpet so it doesn't look so obvious. I am going to build a second layer, I have the drawers, should be good for the Pyrenees in the summer, store food, clothing, wine, beer etc lol

Here's what you can see if you glance in from the side, less interest from thieving toe rags methinks......



There is a 22mm board screwed along the front face which makes it quite strong. Doesn't weigh very much and can be taken out in about 1 minute.

My Mark Two model will be made of ply and a better fit - this was just a play about a couple of weeks ago.

So this costs about £25 for one layer and £40 for two layers. The professional stuff costs £1400 from the States - much better quality but I'm happy with my £1375 savings haha.

Should give you guys some good ideas for making a full length version, with drawers coming out of the rear doors (maybe) with a nice bedding arrangement on top.................

That's not an equipment rack.. THIS is an equipment rack

I like those bed storage boxes with the little wheels, absolutely ideal!

You're all beginners - this is what I have in my Defender



Left cupboard is food and storage, rear compartment houses cooker, centre compartment for tools, recovery gear, spares, front compartment for sleeping bags and bedding, left side compartment for clothes, right side compartment for poles and sides for Foxwing awning.

Sleep on the top of it all using thermarests.

Works perfectly for two people.
