drawers bolt up to the existing 3rd row seat holes.. did a great job over 1000's of ruff km's the only thing that has failed is the fridge slide which i purchased and rattles like buggery!

I took out the second row seats for our trip. Wanted a sturdy and relativly dust free place to store the laptop so i could run live maps and back up photos etc..

this is what i came up with

and the 8" screen.. all the usb ports are built into the dash so i can hook up the camera on the run without having to take out the laptop

Looking good mate, im also in teh proscess of building some rear drawers for my GU, must say id never thought tomount my maglite there im gonna have to do that.

Also if you havent already fit a rear table to the back door, i had one on my Shorty GQ and it was one of the best mods, get abit of ply/mdf/ally what ever pianno hinge and some wire rope to hold the weight and you got a cheap and bloody usefull table
