200 bumper options, rear drawers.

[Markuson]

Hey, what kind of tire career/rear bumper is that??

What he said. Slee 100 series. Was the strongest bumper I've personally seen.

Rear drawers shipped from Sydney this afternoon. Should have them next week. Can't wait to see what the quality and fit is like.

200, 100 and 80 fit kits coming too.

Drawers arrived from Oz.

I'll install a set in @TonyP 200 and a set in my 100 this weekend.

Also ordered a full extension fridge slide and fridge barrier cage. My guys in Oz gave me their Asian manufacturer contact info. I may order 10-20 sets of these in misc LC models. I'm pleasantly surprised by the construction quality and smoothness of the drawer operation.

Looks like quality construction. I may end up going this route instead of ARB. Can't wait to see it installed and your review.

I put the drawers in the 200 this afternoon. Fit is spot on, quality and drawer operation is excellent, IMO.

One thing I see that I like over my ARBs is that the front shelf is lined in aluminum, rather than plastic. I think I prefer the ARB handles which both latch and pull in one grab...but these drawers from Dobinson's look like good stuff. Also like that recessed tie-downs are included.

Edit: Oops! Not Dobinson's?

Not Dobinsons but similar.

Also, the left drawer's top is a fridge slide (note the handle). Pretty cool stuff, 99% sure I'm taking them if I can dig through the couch cushions for the funds.

Zero plastic on these drawers (just handles). The drawers and body are galvanized steel. I made a set of drawers from aluminum ONE time... NEVER AGAIN.. Drawers are lined in a carpet material. Tie downs are spring loaded.

What do these cost and where to buy? Intersted in comparing these with arb. Is it possible to have both tops slide? Figured it might make loading heavy things easier?

Re: Slides on both sides: I HIGHLY recommend getting sliding tops on both sides! So many advantages:

-Loading heavy items farther back, without having to lean way over or crawl inside...
-Access to items DEEP in drawer without having to remove items blocking rear items is easy. You simply slide the top out all the way, and they partially pull the drawer out...and then you can reach the back items directly from the top. Also possible with a loaded cargo area provided you stack items full on one slider of the other.
-Use both slider tops as a work surface, or built-in shade for items set on tail-gate in hot weather, such as rifles or shotguns while shooting...or other tasks.
-Slides make a great second surface for use as a work bench...if you simply pull them both out.

Full size top can be a slide but not dual sliding tops.

Those look great! I think the Dobinson's are a bit taller but have a larger gap between the rear seats than the ARB, I would be interested to know how these drawers compare. What are the overall dimensions on these and how much gap would there be behind the rear seats?

The 2nd row is removed in my 200 so it'll be difficult to get the gap info until I get it back and (maybe) put the 2nd row back in. I'm thinking of keeping the 2nd row removed though.

T, beat me to it. I can't answer that as there are no seats to check a measurement against. I'll venture to say they are the same dimensions...

Main box is 42 wide x 39 deep x 11 tall.

That does look to be basically the same as the Dobinson size. It also looks close to the ARB size. Maybe shorter by 2 inches or so. I must have been thinking about another drawer set that is different that were taller and significantly shorter.

Looks like a great option!

FrontRunner drawers are taller. Maybe you were thinking of those...

Yep. Those are exactly the ones I was thinking of. Thanks!

Titan Rear Drawer + Wings Suitable for 200 Series , 4WD & Outdoor Products - Australia

They will ship to the US.

The notes on their webpage says:

Note: Will not fit Sahara model or those with rear air conditioning
Note: Titan Rear Drawers will not suit 2016+ 200 Series with KDSS suspension

Since I have a 2017 with KDSS and with rear A/C does that mean the Titan's are not an option to consider?

I would go with what the mfg says for the Titans. The ones I bought and installed in this 2013 are not the Titan drawers. If you send me pics of yours I'll do my best to see if these would work for you.

I must have misunderstood from whom you were sourcing. In my case the third row seats are still in and probably will be for some months to come. Don't actually have a firm need for the cargo drawers until next spring.

But I appreciate your willingness to take a look and help.

Assuming someone with a 2016+ gets moving faster than me, I will follow your product line and see where you go with it.
