Hope you guys enjoy

Hi, Australian 4X4 Adventures. Well, you BLEW that 5 minute target. Hell, it took 56 seconds just to get through all that KRAPPP at the front end. Just my 0.02. You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

[@Australian4x4Adventures]

I did say I would probably blow the time limit. Hahaha so I warned ppl 😝

[@shrekkers907]

Yeah nice Steve. One handed drawers was a major consideration for our canopy 👍🏼

[@Australian4x4Adventures]

Absolutely

[@LandySmurf]

Good kit. Does make it easier to use and you can hang things off it such as a hand towel. I just bought some small aluminium angle and riveted on the tabs and it worked the same. Cost about $5 a handle.

[@Australian4x4Adventures]

Great tip!

[@shanelines9397]

Nice little hack. I was in the same situation when I built my draws, particularly with the draw my fridge sits on. I screwed one runner tab so it is permanently down,essentially the whole draw and fridge is relying on the one locking runner but even fully loaded it doesn't budge. Love ya work tho Steve 👌🏼

[@Australian4x4Adventures]

This would be a perfect setup for you then.

[@peterj5751]

I use these and their great. I made some aluminium brackets to extend the handle up to clear my pull out cutting board.

[@Australian4x4Adventures]

That’s my plan for the top runners too

[@fatmanoverlanding]

Good one. Yeah, painting the bar black will looks so much better. 👍

[@Australian4x4Adventures]

It blends in so much better

[@jasonknox1926]

Nice idea Think I’ll incorporate this into my current planning

[@Australian4x4Adventures]

Hopefully it was helpful to ya.

I just went to the big green shed and got some 12 x 12x 1.4 angle extrusion and some m4 nylocks... Drilled the hole in the top of the latch and bolted it in. Cost about $4 a drawer.

[@Australian4x4Adventures]

Yeah I probably should of done something similar but I wanted to try out these kits.

[@tanvirkhan8702]

I did the same but used rivets

[@chrisspies8123]

Ill be off to the big green shed now. Thanks for the hacks....

[@nicdrake2330]

Grind the off the right angle on the allen key and stick the straight part into a drill.

[@Australian4x4Adventures]

Yeah I’ve done that in the past but figured for 2 screws I couldn’t be bothered 😂

[@andrewshepley7751]

Any chance of a review vid on the evakool drawer fridge and a how much can you fit guide. Cheers

[@Australian4x4Adventures]

I’m waiting until 12 months before I post any review vids about the fridge. But so far it’s been faultless and I love it

[@andrewshepley7751]

@@Australian4x4Adventures that's fair thanks mate

[@BigFishOverlanding]

Looks like a cool option.

[@Australian4x4Adventures]

Thanks mate.

[@rossmiller8814]

I thought it was such a good solution I took a photo of it at the 4x4 show ha

[@OnCountryWithMick]

Great simple little handle. Where did you grab them? I know you said the company but where cam they be found?

[@Australian4x4Adventures]

It’s a website called dunn and Watson.

[@OnCountryWithMick]

@Australian4x4Adventures cheers mate. Wasn't sure if it was direct from them or picked up at somewhere like Bunnings etc

[@holidaymail]

Lol I would have stuck a couple of rivets in the screw holes as I’m lazy haha. Bloody good mod though!

[@Socheaphoan]

so cool brother

[@Australian4x4Adventures]

Thanks mate.

[@tanvirkhan8702]

I did exactly the same but with a strip of ally angle riveted into the latches. Cost $5 and took 10 mins. Way less mucking around than this.
