For Sale: JK WRANGLER
2 DOOR HARDTOP HOMEMADE DRAWER SYSTEM
I'm asking $750, pick-up only from Sydney's Sutherland Shire. Please PM if interested. I'm happy to send through more details and photos if needed. I've sold my Jeep, so the drawers need to go too. I built them for a SA road trip, which they handled without fault. They were only installed for 6 months or less.
The drawers are made from 12mm plywood all round, joined by liquid nails and screws and covered by automotive carpet. Both drawers uses quality
Ovesco rail runners with locking slides, rated to 125kg carrying capacity per drawer. The drawers are designed so they can be extended out with just the Jeep's tailgate open (not glass). Above the drawers are two open shelves which were perfect for me to store a fold-out camp table, tarp and other items.
The box frame is mounted to the Jeep's floor pan by three horizontal slats or ribs, two of which attach to existing fittings on the floor. Only one slat requires two holes drilled into the floor (the only modification required to the Jeep). The box sits
level and lines up perfectly with the Jeep's side leading edge. Detachable wings are screwed onto the sides of the box and the Jeep's existing hardtop screw mounts, which provide a flat floor across the entire cargo area and additional rigidity for the box.
The box allows for full movement of the front seats and access to the rear central cup holders. Access to the standard jack is also not obstructed. The wheel arch cavities beneath the side wings are perfect for storing rarely used items and can be accessed from the front. A hole in the box's base provides access to the Jeep's hidden storage compartment once the left drawer is opened.
As you can see, a lot of thought, time and effort went into designing and making these drawers. I am only trying to recover the costs for the project and I think these are a bargain compared to the commercially available alternatives. They obviously require the rear seats to be removed and they were only designed for the hardtop. I don't know if they will fit with the soft top installed and I doubt they will fit the 4 door JK. They are in excellent condition with only a few marks in the carpet from previously installed cargo mounts (now removed). They will be sold with all screws, mounting fixings, rubber matting to protect the Jeep's floor and side walls, spare carpet cuttings, spare screws and some left over ply if wanted.
The approximate dimensions are:
BOX: 950mm wide x 475mm high x 910mm deep
EACH DRAWER: 390mm wide x 360mm high (270mm side walls) x 860mm deep
TOP SHELVES: (left) 270mm / (right) 635mm wide x 70mm high x 895mm deep
You'll have to excuse my little sister's assitance in the slats haha.
