Hello looking for a drawer system to put in the back of an LX470 (100 series); anyone have recommendations on other companies? Here is the problem that I have; my LX is a daily driver and with kids we often use the 3rd row for sports games etc. The drawer system I want has to be able to be removed and stored in my garage plus minimal modifications to the floor so that the 3rd row set of seats can still be used. Does any have the new set from ARB? any reviews? thanks

The ARB is nice but I have no experience with it. Others that are available include:

Adventure Trailers
Slee Offroad
Warfield

If I remember there might be a couple of others as well. Most people just build them though themselves and dont plan to remove them. With the removal aspect. Slee or Adventure trailers might be a best bet for your needs.

Either build yourself, or get a vehicle specific kit like Slee. I have a pair of universal drawers that were a pain to mount and set up.

yes I thought of building myself but that takes time and tools; both of which I dont have lol. Currently talking to warfield with his type of drawers. I'm not against doing lots of work to remove the set once installed just want to have some sort of set up that can be taken out with out damaging the drawers etc

For me even buying the drawers themselves were still a pain. Had to send them back because the fit was bad, and my plans of using factory bolt locations to hold it down were crushed when the planned 6mm of clearance for bolts became 1mm with gear in the drawers. Eventually had a metal subframe built that gets bolted to the vehicle first, and then the drawers are bolted to the frame from the side.

In total it was about $1300 and 5 months for universal drawers I don't like and take 45+ minutes to remove, if I were doing it again I would go with a custom made system that is designed specifically for the 80.

Why not get a set of AO style drawers and tie them down with a ratchet strap? No drilling, no cutting, no cursing. Total installation time--10m (or less). Total removal time 5m.

I've got Drifta D2D-WT drawers in my 80. See http://www.drifta.com.au/4WDFitout.php
Brilliantly simple slide system, the pull out table is killer, and the whole drawer system just slides out as a unit so you can take it out when you don't need it.
Attaches with turn buckles. They are built in AUS, so I am sure they have an off the shelf 100 series set up.
Should mention they are shipping containers over and distributing out of WA state, which greatly reduces shipping costs and hassles.
