I'm interested in trying these out (vs just home-build/DIY), but considering freight charges it seems like it would make the most sense to have a small group buy with people local to you... so, anyone else in the Houston/SE Texas area interested?
DFW area and interested
FWIW, it's showing ~$590 shipped for a single, but if two are ordered together, basically no increase in shipping (vs 1):
~$420/set. Shipping increases after 2 sets making them around $400/ea for 3, $370/ea for 4.
So really, minimal advantage in waiting to order more than two. @Nori470, if you're interested and willing to figure out pickup from NW Houston, I might go ahead and order 2 or 3 sets. Not sure yet what the additional tax charges will look like, but I'll look into it more after I get off work.
edit:, went ahead and checked, still around $800/ea until you get over 4, after tax/import is added

Anyone in the NYC area interested in a group buy?
I placed an order for them yesterday but with a different supplier. Outdoor 4x4 Offroad Camping Rear Slide Out Adventure Drawers Upgrade Storage Suv Trunk 4wd Drawer System For Toyota 4runner - Buy Suv Trunk Storage Drawers drawers Upgrade Storage 4wd Drawer System Rear Slide Out Product on Alibaba.com - https://www.alibaba.com/x/B0zQ4L?ck=pdp
It’s the same product just different supplier it seems. The seller promised no import duties on my end so we’ll see. Worst case I just wont pay it and it will get shipped back. I’ll just get a refund at that point.
My total cost came out to 615. I should be getting it around a month and a half.

I’m in DC area… unfortunately I don’t have a way to receive freight easily, but I can ask my friend at Aussie embassy.

Ill put my money where my mouth is still! You install em, give a good write up and an opinion, ill venmo you $25.
For clarification, the set the poster mentions having been ordered show to be for a 4runner per linked add. Still leaves a bit of a question on 100/LX470 fitment…
Good catch, here’s the correct link.

I replied to the 4Runner listing asking the seller if they made one for lc100/lx470 and they sent me this link. My order is for for the lc100. With the two drawers. Fridge slide for the driver side drawer. And the side panels for a flat clean surface.

Those look pretty solid! I'm excited. I'm pumped your are diving into this. I'm looking forward to hearing about the quality and especially the weight.

Actually I am highly interested in this. I have been slowly designing my own out of wood but I think this would end up being cheaper. I am Albany area, however my family owns a shipping receiving business with a terminals in JFK and an Albany. Getting a bulk order distributed from ALB to NYC or vice versa is easy enough. I am entirely depending upon nikgorbs review however. I will be in touch once we hear back from him on quality.A little off topic, but I might also consider a rear steel bumper from the same supplier. 4x4 Road Protection Bumper Steel Rear Bull Bar Guard Upgrade Rear Bumper For Land Cruiser 100 Series Lc100 - Buy Land Cruiser Bumper land Cruiser Rear Bumper lc100 Bull Bar Product on Alibaba.com - https://www.alibaba.com/x/B0zthy?ck=pdp
Total cost is 675, we’ll see how the drawer system is in terms of quality. If it’s good, I might pull the trigger on that and maybe a front bumper too if they give me a deal on the freight.

That bumper looks almost like the Dobinson one, complete with gigantic side wings
Looks similar but not identical to the type of bumper SoFlo is reselling - Home | SOFLO BUMPERS - https://www.soflobumpers.com/?lightbox=dataItem-kw2avm788
I went down that rabbit hole a few years ago and ultimately decided against it for my use case - apparently they’re heavy relative to other options, don’t have great clearance, the shipped product might not match the pictures and there was some variance in arm/mount design, and I wasn’t the biggest fan of the look. In the event that it needed to be modified to fit, I didn’t have the tools or space at the time to do so.
Not trying to discourage anyone from buying an Alibaba bumper, those are just the things I considered.
Sounds good with me. Let's hold off on that. I really like the ADGU, but choked on the price. LX470 - https://store.airdowngearup.com/collections/lx470
Did you ever order any of these? I'm near Cypress and have been thinking of buying one.
The drawers in the first post look like they're exactly the same as the Kings drawers we get in aus.
Cheap, but we're paying less than $250USD for a set and can pick them up from an outlet anywhere in the country.
Quality is ok, nothing special, they do the job. Too much weight on top will cause the panel to bow over time.
Drawer only comes out ~80%, not an issue if you pack your least used items up the back. Install is quick with an impact driver. Can't speak for 100 series but the wings for an 80 fit nicely.
Heavy as s***, but once they're in not really an issue.
Fridge slide latch is a bit loose, rattles a bit on corrigations.
Glue some foam to the back of the drawers so they're under slight tension when closed to stop it rattling, only an issue on rough roads.
TLDR: Value for money is great , they do the job, can be improved. Hope it helps someone.

I did not. I've promised my wife to get through the installing the stack of parts I've collected before buying any more... so far I've got my rear wiper arm done and differential drop mostly installed (need to torque everything up)... still need to do UCA's, front torsion bars, AHC shock spacers, front bump stops, headers, wolfbox mirror replacement (and camera installation), wheels/tires (hopefully by end of month)...
maybe by the time I've got all that done the tariff stuff will be sorted favorably...
Anyone receive their drawers yet? One sellers listing came out to $1125 after the shipping/import fees were added.
