I've been getting some PMs about the Drifta D2DWT (Drifta 2 drawer w/ Table) Drawer system I picked up this summer, so I figured I'd just post some info and pics up.
This is one of two 80 series drawer systems that Luke shipped in a container to Washington State this spring.
I had Hanna carriers in my 80 and loved them, but when I saw the Drifta Drawers I just had to have.

The table kicks ass. Fully adjustable telescoping legs so you can level it almost anywhere.
The craftsmanship is top notch. It even has a cute little 2 ballbearing catch so it the table doesn't just
self deploy when you open your gate on a hill.

Love the simple Teflon drawer slides which are as slick as snot. No space wasted.
I also like that the drawer system is a complete unit which you can remove and store in the off season, unlike the build in situ drawer designs.

You do get to do some work yourself, if you order the side wing kit, it comes with the wood and carpet and misc hardware, brackets etc. The scribing and cutting is pretty straight forward. It really makes sense as there is so many variables in rear trim panels and peoples set ups.
The side wings just lift out for access to the jack compartment etc. No tools required.

If anyone wants some hands on I'll be at Surf & Turf next weekend.

Thanks Sheldon! Luke's work looks awesome. Do you have a pic of the inside of the drawers? What is storage capacity like?
 
Drawer Interior dimensions are 37" Long x 20" Wide and 8.5" deep. Drawer on the table side is 6" deep.
The partitions come with the system and you screw em in where you want em... or not at all.
The drawers have spring loaded latch pins so you can slide em right out.
Surf & Turf will be the shakedown run for these drawers.
If you want to go all out you can get the slightly taller version of this Drawer system that takes the DCB Kitchen box in place of the high side drawer, Car back combo IIRC.
I've got the DPOS kitchen in my M101 Trailer already so I'm all set there.

Shake down run complete, back from Surf & Turf. The drawers did great. Not a single rattle or squeak back there. What a difference these make in keeping 10 days worth of gear for all of us organized. My wife sheepishly admitted on the trip that she didn't really *get* the drawer thing when I first installed em... but now she absolutely loves em. Of course on this trip I gave her the entire deep side drawer, one time deal of course..

@70sguy this is excellent. I want to pull the trigger on these. How did you mount them to the floor?
 
They come with brackets that secure them to the wheel wheels via one of the 3rd row seat bracket captured nuts. That holds them in place but I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t in a roll.

I ordered mine at a custom height and use a tilting fridge slide. My Drifta drawers are level with the closed tailgate.

Super slick! Thanks for weighing in here. I was eyeing these: Stockton drawers

Seems to be just like your setup without the custom height?

Quite excited for this setup.
 
Dang Nick that’s an old post. I’m glad Corbet saw it and responded. I didn’t realize he was using the drifta drawers.

I like a lot of what drifta/stockton makes but I’ve always wondered how to get them here stateside. How are people ordering these things? Is there a US based importer or is the shipping from Australia crazy expensive?

Overseas Orders - Drifta Camping & 4WD

Many people are emailing asking can we ship overseas… so this really depends.. if you are looking to have something sent overseas, it’s very important you let us know what you would like, and where you are.. Some things we can send, other things we can't.. with the standard Australia…

Yes, kind of dumb expensive on the freight. Maybe it’s gotten better since my peak freight cost coming out of Covid. They goto Canada first they to you via a freight truck. Mine took over 9 months to get but were a custom build.

I was kind of playing with free money at the time. I had just inherited some money and my wife suggested I get something nice for myself. So the drawers and a Kinsmen Hardware Awning got ordered. I’d say you don’t choose these drawers based on price. You have to want them on this side of the pond.

I have a local 200 series buddy who has these drawers, and they're indeed top shelf products. Curious, why are they not made on this side of the pond? Maybe I'm missing something but they're made of wood, perhaps using dado and other fine cabinet making process. They slide on teflon strips, and the rest are the usual glue, carpet and shiny hardware. I'm surprised nobody makes something similar in the USA!

Again, these are awesome drawers and worth the $$$$ they fetch.
