Good work Pete, another pro is weight saving. Some of those 4WD supa centre drawers weigh 70kgs empty.

I would call that a perfect review. I have the same setup as you, and I agree with everything you said. I also have the slide in kitchen and tucker box for camping. My Drifta draws have been used nearly every day for 8 years now. If I'm not camping, they are used for work, filled with tools and heavy equipment. They have taken a beating. The only thing that has gone wrong, is when I lost a couple of black plastic leg tips, on the bottom of the table legs. I found replacements at Bunnings, for a couple of dollars. Then I drilled a single 1/8th hole through the side of each plastic leg tip, and inserted a simple pop rivet. I never lost another one. Problem solved.

Gday kevin thanks so much mate. What a great bit of kit they are. Shit everyday for eight years? Thats incredible. I love the slide out kitchen and tucker box it just didnt fit my budget at the time. Lol funny you say about the black caps i lost one a couple months ago so i will be going to bunnings and using your idea haha thanks so much mate

Too right Pete, great review. I spent countless hours searching the internet for a set of drawers for my work van. I came across drifta drawers. I made the trip to Gloucester and got a set fitted. Best thing I've ever done. It's made my work life organised and looks extremely professional! well done Drifta, I've had them in for four years, not one problem.

Wow! 3 and a half years and still loving it! That says something for a company! The simplicity of it all (the slides in particular) is brilliant (and cheaper)! My dad always used Formica for slides. He would cut some wide strips (maybe 3”) and affix to both surfaces so that the right sides were together. They slide extremely well too. I plan to self build a system like this here in the US using some of the ideas from Drifta!

Pete and crew, What a gem of a channel mate. I stumbled across your channel by watching a few Drifter videos, he mentioned Buck, so i watched Buck's video on the WA 4wd show last year when he was chatting with you guys. I've just finished watching all your videos, really enjoyed every single one, mate.....thought I'd share my thoughts: I recon its the rawness and honesty of your comments and emotions through out all your vids that makes this a special channel. I'm enjoying the relaxed way you include and chat with who ever is on your adventures, checking out what they're having for dinner or what's the best part of their trip, it feels like I'm getting the experience first hand with out any script or falseness. You have a good bunch of people on your adventures, Creber, Mitchell and the regulars are legends. I think Mark fits in really well, I enjoy seeing what he's cooking up. The drone work is really adding something to your videos, I'm enjoying that night time footage. Finally, the humor you attack every challenge with is bloody funny, puts a smile on my face every time, and that laugh........ RAD!! Good on ya

nice review mate. We've had our full car back kitchen set up with drawers, 70 Lt SS water tank, table the whole works.Probably had them for over 5 years now, we got em when the truck had about 15K on the clock now it has over 185k's! They look as new as the day we got them. Thousands of miles of corrugations, did the Cape an kakadu, all over the Alpine regions in Vic etc...Buy it right the first time you won't have any issues. Luke and his team are terrific and if you have a problem they fix it period. You should read his story where he started.... amazing.

Great review mate. The only thing I'd correct you on are the steel ball bearing runners take up around 37mm per draw, and on an aluminium set with 3mm wall this can be as little as 43mm total. The ply sides on some range from 12-16mm= 24 to 32mm total. Only 11 to 18mm difference in total. One question I have, how far out can your draws come before they tip or don't go back in without being lifted? Just trying to work out if I can fit certain large items in and still get them out without the draw being pulled to a place it doesn't like?

Hey mate, a great review of these drawers Just have to say at the 8.30 mark you mentioned a half eaten packet of twisties WFM I actually had a half eaten packet of twisties in my pantry so I stopped the video grabbed them and continued haha. On a side note I have looked at these drawers also, specifically the teflon strip idea and no bearings or slides. I agree with you on the extra room required for bearings. I'll be making my own as I've been reno-ing and building things for years. great work onya mate. 200 series owner.

Have looked into the drifta drawer systems, the only thing that worries me about having a wellbodied ute with a canopy is the fact it doesn’t seal well, not that I’ll be going out of my way to find deep creek crossings but don’t reckon the timber would like a splash around in the water, end up ruining a good set of drawers if a situation like that came up. Either chance it or spend 3k for MSA drawers though..

@@jockwar i take it you haven't used silicone spray. it isn't wet after about 0.3seconds after spraying it. so i say again. it is why you use it for this application. it is also why it is used on printed circuit boards in electronics. doesn't hold dust and isn't wet.

For everyone looking for some cons... my opinion: they are too heavy, my drawers slid around in corners until I adjusted the catches better, the diamond lip guard is ugly, and the face of the table is less finished than I was expecting. All minor things. Agree with all the pros. Would buy again if there was a way to reduce the weight like removing material in the floor area or using different material.
@WACampingAdventures
@WACampingAdventures 5 жыл бұрын
Gday darren thanks for commenting mate! I can see what your saying about the diamond lip but geez i love it lol. As far as weight goes i think these are a fair bit lighter than your average drawers, titans for example come in around 70kgs and these are around 45 max. Just from what i have read. Will keep an eye on the latches but after 2.5 years they are as good as the first day i got them. Thanks for the feedback mate!
