Man, there is some serious creativity going on here.
Is there an agreement on what liner (other than line x) is preferable?

This is my first post, and as I haven't seen much online about sleeping systems in the Discovery I thought I'd share my build. It's pretty basic, but the box in the boot has two compartments with storage crates inside. Opened up, it has supporting arms to let you use it as a table / work area. Fold the back seats down, and a platform concertinas out over the seats and gets hooked to the driver & passenger seat headrests to keep it supported. I got some 25mm EVA foam offcuts to make a mattress, which also folds for better storage.
I'm tempted to put a drawer that pulls out to form a kitchen bench, to replace the table hanging from the boot door, but still looking for a good solution - those heavy duty drawer slides are EXPENSIVE! At some point I'll paint it / varnish it too, but right now this cost about £70 all in!
The bed is 180cm long, and I'm 6'3", but my partner and I get a good nights sleep in there - I just sleep at a bit of a diagonal!
Next job is a diy foxwing awning for the tailgate.
Anyway, hope it's useful to someone!

Man, I thought I had a thing for pelican cases... Wow, that looks great. Do you think the getting them open and closed each time you want something will get old?
I love the router detail on the drawer face... One of the best looking drawer fronts yet!

Thank you, however i have to admit....they are not Pelican cases ( 20 dollar Sams Club ) and I put them in there just for "testing" and a photo op
Sams Club??? Really?? What's the part number or manufacturer if any? Very cool.

I think these may be the ones. I saw them at my local club and they looked nice for the money.

$20 at Sam's and $40 at Amazon and Wall-Mart.:Wow1:
