Hi,
Bit late on this but there was discussion about drawers and storage
solutions recently so I thought as I'd had the camera out tonight I'd
post a picture of my solution.

Putting the spare wheel on a swing out carrier is not really an option
for me for 2 reasons 1) I'm convinced some of the places I've been
'delayed' I could not have got the boot open with a swing out carrier in
the way and 2) it's a 36" tyre so not much of a view out the back
window.
Keeps all the heavy items as low down and restrained as possible.
There's a lot of recovery equipment in their (ground anchors, hand
winch, sledge hammer,axe,chainsaw,winch extension ropes, crow bar, angle
grinder etc) as I like to be able to go out on my own and be self
reliant for recovery. The middle shelf is split in two with the front
section accessible from inside with rear seat back flipped forwards, I
store spare parts and things I don't need very often in there. The top
shelf has things like my cooker, spare gas cans, kettle, pots, air bed
etc on it.
There's an extra board can be attached on the rear drivers side
passenger area to make up a single bed through to the boot.
This is it's 'normal' configuration, if I need more storage I take the
rear seats out and put in a shelf at the same height as the boot
platform which gives me lots of options.
8 bolts and it all slides out, fixes to the 3rd row seat floor bolts.
Probably weights about 20Kg.
Best Regards,
Jon.
