I made the drawer system from 12mm ply. Pre-drilled all holes before screwing together, also used liquid nails.
The runners are made from 25x25x1.6 SHS, running on skateboard bearings. I used Tee-Nuts to bolt/screw the bearings too, as this made them sit flush with the other side.
The drawers...
Well been busy on the cruiser for the past few weeks.
I installed another gearbox into it, broke a bellhousing in the process
so now that its installed i noticed the bolt pattern on the new box, that bolt the front/rear drive shafts to box, are a
different pattern, all the originals are...
thanks for the comments all.
I love driving it :steer:
I managed to get my roof rack back on, and also put the rear cargo drawers in. Just have to make minor adjustemnts to the side hinged flaps and it'll be ready to fill up with gear and go camp'n.

Over the weekend I ran a new bead of sikaflex-227 along the whole roof gutter.
So now, I hope, i have fixed all the gutter issues.
All that is required now is the final touch up painting.
I also made a very quick video camera mount. Its attached to the grab bar with a small...
the rust has been cut out, and patches welded in, also i have bogged it ready for sanding. also have a tube of gutter silicone for the cutter channels.

thanks, but to make it a better 60 is to fix my L4 problem.
when enguaged, it grinds the teeth something shocking (i suspect its not enguaging correctly)
but when i have it in L4 other times, its fine as i get momentum up, but once i start "giving it to it" it starts grinding again...
went for a play yesterday with an 88' FJ75, 86 HJ60 and a 2002 hilux.
i had all sorts of problems with low range grinding everytime i enguage it. And with all the bad weather lately, made for some nice intersesting mud/clay slipping sliding.
also i got bogged several times due to not having low...
ok, its now ready for its first big :steer: trip. Fraser Island.
i installed a new 6.5db antena, new air intake hose
and my old UHF.
Now to wait 3 days, till we leave :bounce:
:cheers: Dave
