ARB Drawer Owners...... I Have Some Questions for You. (3 Viewers)

[MrCWineMan]

So a tangentially related question- anyone rocking the cargo divider? Any input, advice, observations?

 

[catastrofe]

Is this helpful? About 7-1/4" from the plastic to the edge of the roller lid. This is the passenger side, other side will be the same.

Perfect, thanks so much!

If you mount anything substantial to the fit kit...make sure it’s to the forward piece...as that rearward panel is made to come off easily, and is held down in the rear-most part by a small latch.

Forward piece (over the wheel well bump) is screwed down.

Pretty interesting!
I’m curious, though, how they see into the fridge in that spot... Does it tip down somehow?

There is a kit solution for that which helps you get the fridge a little down if you pull it

Hi, guys. Just bought used drawers in very strange configuration. Price is very nice and it came with trims. What do you think about to use 2 x rolling floor instead of normal drawer ? This add separation, but also add some weight and steal some space. (sliding part of lower drawer couldn't be used)

Good Gun configuration. Small for guns and large for amo.

Trying to decide if a drawer set up is something I can benefit from, hoping to tidy up the general mess of bike stuff/hunting stuff/tools, et cetera that I keep in the truck (all in plastic bins.) Not looking to carry a fridge or anything like that. This would purely be for organizing.

I like the idea of the drawer set up BUT every now and then I'm glad I have the room needed to move furniture and similar. Just yesterday a set of BMW seats arrived for my 60 series. No problem getting both of the large boxes they were shipped in into my 200. I also have an old labrador retriever who occasionally rides in the back; he'll no longer be able to stand.

Tell me what you think about your set up. What are the pros? The cons? Did you do any modifications for improvement? What would you change, if anything, with your set up? What ABR options did you go with?

I'd appreciate your thoughts.

Here are some questions I recently sent to ARB and am waiting for their reply>


"Hey. I have a 200 series Land Cruiser and am considering adding a drawer system. I'm looking for a set up similar to what I have pictured here, less the barriers and the fridge.

My questions are:
Based on your literature I have, what are the widest and deepest drawers I can install?
What are the catalog #s for those drawers?
Are the side portions accessible and usable? If so, how are they accessible?
Will retrieving the truck jack be an issue?
Are there other finishes or a mat available for the top deck to prevent stuff like grocery bags from sliding?
I'm pretty good with tools. What should I expect install time to take?
What does a set up as pictured less the barriers and fridge cost, delivered to zip code 29601?
What does the set weigh, approximately? "

Nice That is exactly what I am looking for

I do not know those barrier part numbers or that blue fridge part, but the drawer system is RD1045 (qty 2) and 200FK (the side 200 fit kit).

I know this thread has been quiet some time but didn't want to create a new one for a simple question:

Can LX owners who installed the RDRF1045 tell me which bolt size they used to bolt the drawers down to 3rd row holes?The ones that come with the set does not seems to be the same width/thread as the factory bolts.

If you mean the main seat bolts... Factory seat bolts have a tapered thread design on the ends....but it is not required. That might be a bit visually confusing...

Can the anchor bolts for the ARB drawers use the existing four D-ring bolts holes in the rear cargo area, or do they have to use bolt locations from the removed 3rd row seats?

The reason I ask is I have a 2020 Heritage Edition and do not have the 3rd row seats/hardware. I have the four D-rings, but that's it for existing anchoring locations. I've done several hours of research and was not able to confirm this.

Also, are the hat sections fairly adjustable? I'm thinking if the existing D-ring locations do not line up, I may be able to adjust the hat sections and possible drill new holes in the hat to match the existing d-ring bolts.

The mounting brackets already have decent amount of holes that I'd guess it would match the anchors if you move the bracket forward/back. (I think there is some level of adjustability in the bracket location).
As for the anchors, do you know what they are intended for? Not sure if they can hold the weight.

 

[sdnative]

I asked the question in one of the HE threads if the seat holes/anchors are still there and the answer was yes. So you may want to pull up your carpet and check.

Also the drawers for the 200 series only use the 2 forward middle seat anchor holes. The rear mounts use the holes on the side close to the wheel wells where the seats bolt to. Unlike the 80 and 100 that use the 4 middle seat anchor holes.

I just went out and looked at mine. I can't seem to locate the forward set of D-rings, not sure where they are. But assuming yours are in the same location in the rear, they are too far back and too wide to work. I can see them inside the side cubbys if I pop the cover off.

Are you sure that the threaded holes for the seat latches are not in the floor? That seems dumb that they wouldn't put them in. It's not the mounts for the seats, they are for the latches in the floor where the seats latch down to when you put them down.

I picked up a drawer recently. I plan to run just the one on the driver side and keep the 3rd row passenger seat.

2 quick questions about the floor / trim kits. Are the two sides interchangeable or are they specific to the driver/passenger side? Is there a top and bottom or could you use either one for either side?

Also, does anyone have 1/2 of the kit laying around? ARB has none in stock and they said 2-3 months before I could get my hands on one. Thought I would put the feelers out to see if anyone just used one drawer and has the other side kit laying around.

Call Slee or Cruiser Outfitters who often have them in stock on-site.

About fit kit...it is definitely side-specific. Just order the fit kit as it’s not trrrivlbly pricey. Or...maybe see if someone here with a single drawer might part with the side of the fit kit they didn’t use?
