I spend some time looking at rear storage fridges draws etc and came to the conclusion that the draw would not suit my needs so I ended up building my own. It works really well and massively increases the storage and ease of use. I took a lot of inspiration from here (http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/9034-Post-up-your-drawer-storage-system)

I did create a build thread for the project here (http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=71292&page=1)

Wow, thanks Jason, that looks very similar to what I had in mind:

That looks great, bet there's a market for that. How do you get into the space above the wheel arches?

Where did you get the runners for the fridge shelf?

After looking around various setups, I think I've found something that could work, based on the following design:




Instead of the window boxes, we will have a row of ammo boxes on each side, accessible via gullwing doors.

There will be 2 load bins between the window sill and wheelarches. I can fit all big recovery kit in one and camping chairs/tent/mats in the other.

The camping table will go in a horizontal slot in the middle on top of the fridge/drawer combo. On top of that we can stuff pillows, and other big+light items, secure by a net.

Can anyone spot any obvious shortcomings?

As you may have read that photo was my inspiration.

By 'Ammo boxes' do you mean plastic Wolf type boxes or metal ammo boxes?

What do you mean by gullwing doors? Are they the doors that replace the windows?

I made a high level shelf in mine it was really simple to make and picked up on the window guard brackets:



I use that for lightweight bits like coats, pillows and sleeping bags, as you want to store heavy things as low as possible.

While on the subject of maximising the space I can use inside the landy, what is the best way to go about increasing the clearance when opening the rear door on a Defender?

After-market wheel carrier? If so, which one?


For example, in my previous post above, it seems to me that the rear door on that landy can open far wider than mine does - I do not see a strut like on mine?
