Dobinsons Rear Drawer System - Compatibility with rear door table (1 Viewer)

[GXFamily]

I'm having difficulty finding the answer anywhere, maybe someone in the group could share their experiences / guidance regarding the Dobinsons rear drawer system.
My concern is fitment with a rear door table; I currently have a Kaon door table installed and am curious if there will be enough clearance between the drawer setup and the table?

Can anyone chime in with their experience with the Dobinsons setup?

I suggest contacting them to ask how much space is between the drawers and the back of the door. From the photos, it looks like the drawers sit a bit further back than my ironman drawers, however the top sliding tray looks like it sticks out forward a bit. For reference, I couldn't fit a table with my ironman drawers, this was using the KAON fold down table. The barn door would close, but you had to slam it and there was strain on the latch.

I reached out to them and they were of little help other than saying it was designed to fit the 460...........

Measure how far out your rear table sits, give a quick call and ask if they have a GX sitting around with the drawer system in it, to stick a block of wood or something that would be about the thickness of what you measured and see if they can tell you if there's an interference fit or not.
Or you can make a simple block of wood of how far your table intrudes on your interior and mail it to them to try.
Note: I'm only talking about a block of wood about 4 inches square x whatever thickness you measure that can be tapped to the back door and closed with the block of wood stuck to the door.
If they really want to make a sale, that's really not too much to ask of them.

Here's what I have. Another member posted their rear door clearance -- the Big Country drawers will not fit with a rear door table installed.
Maybe I'll get lucky with the Dobinsons ......

Could anyone with a Dobinsons drawer system grab me some photos?

From what I can see, it should fit. The Kaon sticks out about half way over the bottom plastic trim piece but the dobinsons drawers sit fully behind it. This isn’t my photo… just one I found here on mud.

Even though the drawers look like they are set back, the issue would still be the sliding top, which stick out from the drawers.

I ordered the drawer system and got it installed this week.

The fit and finish initially was somewhat poor, especially for the trim/wings. I had to do a LOT of cutting and fab work on the metal pieces to get everything to fit properly.
The foward most wing mounting brackets would not fit without cutting about 50% of the wing metal bracket off. Once I did that, no issues.

The rearward wings will NOT fit with a door table, despite what Dobinsons says. It will not fit. I have a Kaon 1/2 door table for the records. The LT wing/trim piece had to be reduced down by about 1". This took some time as it was difficult to get everything lined up properly and make it look as OEM as possible.

Overall the drawer quality is good. The hex bolts supplied are absolute trash and will very easily strip out; be extremely cautious when bolting the top deck on and the drawer unit to the mounting brackets.

Prior to installing the drawer system, I strongly recommend installing sound dampening material in the rear. I used ResoNix 80mil with about 85-90% coverage @ a single layer. The RT wheel well cannot get much coverage as the AC and duct work is in the way. The LT wheel well and floor was pretty easy to get to. I did not apply sound dampening to the inner side of the vehicle skin. Should I get a door ding, a PDR guy would be unable to complete the repair due to the butyl layer.

Instructions were the worst I have ever seen.

Overall, I like the drawers but may or may not get another Dobinsons set for my other GX...BUT....They both have rear door tables and I know what needs to be done to properly fit the wing system with the door table..so there's that.
