Looking forward to what you come up with on drawer designs for your 80 Series build. I have an 80 Series also, and I'm due to upgrade my drawers soon. A two drawer stacked up & down w/a 75L chest fridge on the side is my preferred design. Leaving a flat floor above both drawers and fridge.

I love the hex coated sheets, so much better than the shitty carpet everyone uses. The carpet is like Velcro for everything. Almost impossible to clean. As for the particle board. If you seal one side with a PVA and water you should have a good vacuum seal. I use a 4:1 mix to moisture protect MDF and particle boards and it soaks in a dries quickly. Super quick with a roller and cheap. Maybe the hex for top and drawer fronts and sealed particle board for all other sections. Owners can always paint if they want. It would be good to fit into the drawer market, but obviously the price point compared to established brands will be a huge consideration. One request is, please use a subtle size logo. A small plate is plenty. The huge logos on every bloody 4x4 accessory has gotten out of hand. It doesn't need to be read from the other side of the camp ground. All the best in your new direction.

The particleboard was just for the test products. The finished drawers are made entirely from the ply as it’s a much stronger product for the application.

When I view this channel building things from scratch brings me back to wood work in High School obviously the projects were a lot more basic but there is just something satisfying working with wood the smells of fresh cuts starting with nothing but a pile of wood to the end product you can see touch and use also admire that it's your baby it's your creation....makes me 2nd guess all the choices I made becoming a truck driver that basically only skills is to drive big things 😂 maybe in my 40s it's not to late to maybe change that. I guess I wanted good coin now without hard work and training to better coin and personal satisfaction....I can see the end product is going to be high end so big bickies but I can see and appreciate what goes into it....that's the problem most people only see the end product no understanding what's involved producing good Aussie made and designed product....looking forward to product testing see what abuse it can take in future videos. I wish you success in exploring and trying building products for the 4x4 community hope it becomes more, that it becomes apart of the business.

The hex pattern is very smart looking.......different to all the others out there. 70odd kgs is a fair amount ( especially in a 200 series ) to be lugging around, plus fridge, and everything you put in the drawer. I made my own drawer to go in my Y62 when I had it out of 3mm aluminium....had it folded, welded the ends in and mounted to the folded sides to fix to the floor.......would have been well under 20kgs. Still a great job, and given the ease of gvm upgrades, the weight shouldn't be a real worry......

You’ve gotta keep in mind that’s 2 full drawers and a timber chopping table. Plus you are removing about 60kg with the old seats that come out. Most of the weight comes from the runners. They are almost 30kg by them self

Yeah that’s what I was talking about. The raw edges are sealed with bees wax to prevent staining. The timber top is finished in food grade mineral oil so it’s food safe. I understand it’s not to everyone taste and I get that. But I wanted to be different and there are lots of ppl doing raw ply edges in kitchens and displays because it’s trendy. I’ll leave it upto the individual customer. If they want it painted cool. But the default will be raw.

Great pivot! Your reputation will hang on the robustness of the draws, along with their weight:- Two contradicting factors. Given you have that CNC doo hickey, can you cut bits out of the draw sides and replace it with thin ply or aluminium panels? Another thought, embed stainless strip in the draw top and bottom then use the polypropylene carpet to slide on, maybe you can remove one of those draw slide pairs and reduce cost and more weight?
@Australian4x4Adventures
@Australian4x4Adventures 2 ай бұрын
By the time I cut out parts and then glue them back together the cost would blow out more then the weight saving is worth. I’ve done teflon slide drawers before ( build video on my channel ) but I don’t think that the drawer in drawer setup would work with teflon as it would tilt too much and have too much counter lever in the second drawer.

@@Australian4x4Adventures yeah i recon it'd be a solid idea to sell flatpack: caters for those who want to build something but maybe dont have the time, want or ability to design and cut from scratch.

I personally like the raw ply look. It’s finished with a bees wax to help prevent staining. It’s all personally preference I guess. But I wanted to be different rather than just doing the same as everyone else out there. But having said that. If a client wanted them painted then I’d do that as well

Curious on weights with draws fridge false floor. Your 5k toyota you should watch andrew st clair white. He is doing a budget build on troopy with 500k on the clock. The video in Africa they go right into diffs wheel berrings, engine what to look for in depth with mechanic. It's out to patreons not to the general publi. 3 hours of engine diffs wheels brakes.
@Australian4x4Adventures
@Australian4x4Adventures 2 ай бұрын
Andrew definitely knows his stuff and a wealth of knowledge. Each set will vary in weight based on the car because the size Varys a lot. The y62 will be one of the biggest because the boot space is almost 1200 deep where a 300 series could barely fit a 900mm set.

Ive never bought drawers before, would you get to a point where you can sell kits for people interstate? I think something holding people back on making their own is cutting the peices and knowing what to need. If you could flat pack it, that might change the game 🤷

Hey Steve, just one question buddy, why go to all the work to design and build the draw system for an off road vehicle and NOT use any glue at all to hold all the cabinetry together !! And I'm not picking on you, it's almost everyone just staples or brad the draws together, I just don't get it, SORRY!!! Seeya Rob

It is glued and screwed together. The prototype I was building at the start of the video was only stapled together because it was exactly that. A prototype. The finished product was. Stapled. Glued and screwed

This was bloody awesome. I reckon if you can make a quality product like this then you should add this to what you already do. I would love a drawer system like this in my 200. But I’m just not prepared to pay the prices that are out there, so I’m gonna do mine with a chippy mate. 20:27 What you have created is classy in my book and there are plenty of folks that would buy if you I reckon. Excellent work.

​@Australian4x4Adventures Is there a reason you didn't use the hexa ply on the top as well? Is it not that grippy? I'm loving the hexa ply look too!
@Australian4x4Adventures
@Australian4x4Adventures 2 ай бұрын
@JourneyMapsLiveandLocal mainly a grip issue. The carpet does have more friction than the hexaply. Also for sound deadening. Most ppl use bags inside drawers so having the ply inside works fine. But on top ppl put all sorts of things so I think that needs the carpet
