Y62 CUSTOM REAR DRAWER SETUP - first look, installation and weights

We ordered our custom rear drawer setup through Tracks Adventure Gear, our local dealer for The Drawer Company. This setup is custom designed - I measured up, drew it on a piece of paper and sent it off to Tracks. A few weeks later the whole setup arrived on a pallet ready for me to pick up and install.
We are slowly setting up our 2022 Nissan Patrol Y62 as our two vehicle. So far it is stock standard except for an exhaust, wheels and tyres. The first thing we wanted was a rear drawer setup to carry the things that don't live in the caravan and they are put back in the garage between trips. most of these things are taken on 4wd trips in the Colorado as well. We also needed a fridge slide for the drinks fridge. Since The Drawer Company offer such a neat option, we added their slide out table.
If you have any questions about any of this, be sure to put it in the comments and i'll get back to you as soon as I can. If you are thinking of ordering and you live in the Canberra region, get in touch with Tracks Adventure Gear who are based out in Phillip. They can do the install as well as deck out your 4wd with what ever you need.

Great to see a DIY install, especially when you're prepared to say, "I don't know how to do this bit" we've all been there. Love the wood table pull out from the fridge slide! Looking forward to seeing more progress on the Y62

Thanks mate. Yeah I am no expert, trial and error gets you there in the end. The setup has been in a while now and it has been awesome. Loving the huge drawer. And table has been so handy aswell.

Thats cool. I got my stubby cooler this week thanks Lewy. I'll have to get some beers and use it over the weekend. Thanks mate

[@OutdoorsCBR]

Ah awesome. Yes I hope you gave it a test run over the weekend 😆

There is a huge grey area on rear seat removal and drawer instal. Here in WA we had TJM take our rear seats out and instal a 2 drawer set up the full width with infills etc on our 200 series. We were then approached by a fellow camper on a site and asked if we had re-registered it as a 5 seater as he did the same and actually ended up selling his because of the regs in his state. We contacted the Dept. Transport and they confirmed we did indeed have to have it inspected and re-registered as a 5 seater, even if it was only a temporary action, as we also heard that if you say you are putting the seats back in then it’s ok and classed as temporary. Again, this is WA. There also maybe insurance issues, depending on who you are insured with. Non of this was actually mentioned by TJM when we ordered our set up.

Yeah have heard so many different stories. I have heard rejection of road worthy certificates, and also heard no problems with road worthy certificates. It sounds like it depends on who you get on the day as to whether you get a tick or a cross.

Awesome setup mate! We’re yet to receive our 62 as it’s still on order but hope to do the same!🤙🏽

Hopefully not too much more of a wait for you. The rear set-up has been so useful, loving it.

Tidy looking set up dude ✌️

[@OutdoorsCBR]

Thanks Caleb!

[@GrabLifeByTheGourlays]

Awesome install mate and awesome setup! Might have to look into it! I might have missed it but what was damage on a setup like that?

[@OutdoorsCBR]

Yeah it is worth it. I have bettled with cheap DIY set ups in my Colorado, but this so worth the $. I think they have pricing on the Drawer Company website for the standard setups. But a custom build like this one is about 2k +

[@gingerdiaries3686]

That’s a sexy car…are you keeping the Colorado for the tracks?

[@OutdoorsCBR]

Yes the Colorado is staying. Will keep it for the bush.

[@jdnjdn8705]

What exhaust is that mate? Sounds 👌

[@OutdoorsCBR]

The Torqit cat back. Love it.

[@Chris-sf2cp]

Do you have to get the car engineered because you removed the third row of seats ?

[@OutdoorsCBR]

I didn't. Seatbelts are still in it. Have heard that rumour, not sure if it need to happen or not.
