They use turnbuckles for the anchors, but the wings are hard-mounted and must be removed prior to removal of the drawers. Their instructions estimate it at a 45 minute task out of the box, but I'm sure you could lessen that after a few tries. That said, I'd like to see them drop that 45 minute install time to under 4 miuntes like the SS1.

The frontrunner system and the other metal systems are awesome, but much more of a permanent install, IMO. It's 165 lbs of metal. That'll take a couple people to remove, maybe even 3. I also don't like that the wing supports are in the way of the OEM cubbies. You'd need a wrench to undo the support before you can get into the cubbies. That seems silly for a product designed to improve storage. It's also $1400 compared to the SS1 from Kyle and I (Air Down Gear Up) or Dave's system which come in at about half that price pending your configuration. Dave's is a little lighter and ours is way, way lighter. The SS1 starts around 30 lbs. One person can lift it in and out without a hernia.

KISS Drawers are quite a bit lighter than frontrunner, ARB, Goose, at 104 lbs, and the Solo drawer is just 59 lbs. Many people have bought the Solo to keep one rear seat installed (zero hernia risk @suprarx7nut ), but always have all their important gear with them and secured safely, ie recovery, flares, tools, jumper cables, first aid kit, fire extinguisher, etc.

Or maybe go with a seriously NICE bin, unbreakable, waterproof, easily removable when you need to, super sturdy handles to strap it down with fridge straps - hmmm, one for sale here:
For Sale - Large Waterproof Case/Bin
Then you have all your essentials secured, but you can remove when needed?

Hi Guys,

This may be a helpful reference for everyone. Here's a (slightly boring) video of the removal process. Building on what Andy said, it's actually 2:20 seconds for ONE person to remove. We had easy install/removal as one of the primary focuses of the design.



As i'm sure is true for most people, my 100 series is the jack-of-all-trades utility vehicle for our household and as such needs to be flexible in how it's configured. While i'd love for it to be the dedicated 'expedition' vehicle, I often end up re-configuring for 3rd row taxi duty, large furniture, an assembled propane grill once, etc etc. so we wanted to be able to remove the platform from the vehicle in a way that could be done on your way out the door.
