Have you had to use them?
Looks like two pairs from here.Is there a reason they are different colors?

How are you mounting / storing?
I wanted black, back when they were on sale but they were out. Would have looked good and like you said, less eye catching for someone to snatch. Looks good.
Perfect packaging Rigger, no worries! Thank you

ARB Outback Solutions Rear Drawer Installation:
I installed by myself, I wanted to add a few comments on this that may help future folks doing this. I added these to a link in the FAQ section on Drawer install also. I went with the drawer and slider top drawer for my fridge and with the size recommend for a 200 series.
First of all, despite was what previously posted -everything went together perfectly and all the parts were included that were needed. However, it took more time than expected- mostly due to trying to understand the instructions. Now that I have done one, I think I could do another in about an hour. The following is a list of tips and advice.
1. Read the instructions, highlight the 200 sections, then read my notes below. Hopefully it will fill in a lot for you.- The instructions are generic for all vehicles with a small section on the "200 Series Specific". As a result, you will find yourself going from page, back to a section, and then back. Honestly, they won't make a lot of sense at first. They are written in a way that if you had done one before on another vehicle, it would make perfect sense. It was like each time I got to a step, I had to sorta figure it out on my own and then I look at the instructions and it was like- Oh- that makes sense.
2. You do not have to relocate the cross bottom members- this saves a step with a lot of measurements. They way the drawers come, are the way they are installed as far as the "hat bar" as they call it is positioned.
3. All the dimensions are in mm- so get out a phone and do the conversions if needed to inches and write on instructions.
4. There are 4 points where the drawers mount to existing bolt holes of the truck. There is no drilling. When you remove the jump seats, out of the 8 bolts, two will be left open for the support bolts for the rear support (front part of the drawers from the back door). I think it was the inner bolts on the floor that go back in, leaving the outer open. See pic
5. The rear of the drawers (near the front of the the Cruiser) mounting point is to the floor recess hooks where the jump seat feet latch down. You will remove those front latch points (rear part of drawer). Pop off the plastic cover and you will see the bolts. It will be the outer bolt holes that are used. You will need to cut the plastic way from what appears to be part of the AC vent channel. Don't worry, there is plenty of the excess lip of this plastic to cut away before you cut into the actual vent area. IMPORTANT- Cut enough so that the spacer (mentioned next) will fit over the bolt holes. Cut some of the carpet and fold back under. see pic
6. Each of these mounting points use spacers that are specified in the instructions. The rear of drawer spacers (front of truck) uses a total of 30 mm. There are these black spacers in the kit of various sizes. For 30 mm, just put 3 of the 10mm spacers together. The size is actually marked on the plastic. They push together like Legos. Trim the nipples of of the top one when you have them together. The Front of drawer spacers (rear of truck) use a total of 15mm.
7. These same spacers are used on the front of the drawers bottom to level it out. The instructions show the total height- I think it was 20mm. They just push on the bottom lip. (there are pre-drilled holes that match the nipples).
8. I used two sets of saw horses to attach the drawers together. No need to loosely put together- tighten them up. You do have to take the tops off and remove the drawers before mounting together. To remove the drawers, you have to take unbolt the drawer slide stop from the inside rear. Make a note (picture) of the direction and side of those stops- will just make it easier to re-assemble. The instructions show to how drive the joiner bracket on the cross-member using a hammer- easy.
9. After attaching the drawers together, if you don't trust my comments, this is the time to place the drawer frame in truck and verify that the mounting holes line up- they will.
10. Remove from truck (if you checked fit). Next up is the put on the side fit kit brackets. Instructions are fine here.
11. Put drawer frame in truck. Get those spacers and place under the cross member of drawer (hat bar) with the bolts provide and sizes per the instructions- IMPORTANT- several bolts are the same size- some with course thread and some with fine. Use the fine thread- of course.
12. The Oblique Washers- are those rectangle metal things that look like a thin spacer. These fit in the channel of the drawer frame to bolt it down. Bolt it down loosely then tightly per instructions.
13. IMPORTANT- Install the front of drawer side trim fill supports (the fill in on the trim kit from the front of the drawers on either side) before putting drawers back into frame in the truck.
14. Now you get to put the drawers in and reinstall the rear drawer stops. It is not hard, you just have to climb in and line it up with a light and bolt back together. There is a side roller on those stops and they only go one way, so use that picture you snapped when they came off as a reference of how they go back in.
15. Check operation of drawers- including full out stop. Put top of drawers back on and install side trim tops and you are done.
Hope this helps folks in the future. I had a lot of distractions when doing this and had to start and stop a few time which didn't help.

I like the reflection of the 100 in the background!View attachment 1261936 We went the Frontrunner route.
Matt, that's s cool idea to add two more factory load bars to the stock setup. Looks like it will work perfect.
