The MSS draw is a bit pricey, but I was lucky enough to pay very little for mine, and it's worth it's weight in gold.

All the cooking and brew kit goes in there and is always easily accessible.

I like the idea of the Mantec shelves, bit they don't make them for a double cab.

Firstly consider very, very careful what you carry and how you carry it

Consider the overall weight of what you carry, how often do you need things.

The best thing I have seen for storing items high up is a wire cage which we have in our red 110. I believe it is an old LR product which is no longer available. I have only seen one, mine!

Yes storage drawers/chests are very useful. Manufacturers include MSS, Black Widow, Safari Equip, Big Country etc. None are cheap, none are exactly lightweight. Do you need a 'permanent' set up or do you need an extremely and easily adaptable system?

If so consider light weight boxes such as ali boxes or wolf boxes. Cargo tracking provides a continuous adjustable track or consider small discreet cargo track sections or lash down points.

There is no ONE right system suitable for EVERYBODY.

Consider YOUR needs very carefully. Can you have a permanent set up or do you need a system which is very easily adaptable?

Look at many different vehicles as possible. At shows do NOT just wander around the trade stands ( I can imagine certain people in the trade groaning here) take time to wander around the car park/campsite and talk to as many people s possible about how they set up their vehicles. Pick their brains/ideas and adapt those to fit YOUR NEEDS and budgets.

I entirely agree,

I am just to improve on what I already have and thought I would throw it out tot he great minds on here.

In my 90 I fabricated a rack similar to the BOAB one which worked really well - any one with a 110 CSW and a dog guard can easily do it.

As Brendan says,, re set up,, mine can not be permanent so is only fitted for trips etc

Neither mine,

I have to be able to fit a bulk load of archery targets in the back when work dictates.

I like the shelf unit, what do you put in the bottom part?
