Today I decided to relocate the trailer 7 pin tow harness. The standard location is a real pain to get to if you are hooking up trailers a lot. You basically have to get on the ground to do it. So I moved it to the back bumper to the right of the license plate. It does ruin the aesthetic a little but it is so much easier to get too. And I didn't even have to take the bumper off and was able to reuse all the same parts. I also moved my anderson plug to the same location.
Old location with 7 pin removed.
New location.
The second thing I did to the defender today is add a rear drawer and my tilting fridge slide. Awhile back I removed the third row of seats and put a second battery system with DC2DC charger and AUXbeam switch controller. This removed my storage back there for the jack. So I found this drawer kit from Travall in the UK. I looked really hard here in the US but no one seems to be making anything right now except for front runner but there drawer kit is pretty small and has a very large gap between the door and the drawer. Air Down Gear Up wants to make one and are located not to far from me, but when I approached them they wanted a pretty hefty development fee, which I wasn't willing to pay, on top of the normal kit price.

That's a great looking fridge and tray setup. I'm super jealous. Nice work on the wiring harness. Such a better location for it. I think it looks just fine there. Love the red tow loops, winter wrap and PUK reverse lights. I'm waiting on them to be back in stock. Much needed.
Went for a little lo-range spin today.

It was super easy to install, 15 minutes. Couple of caveats though.
- I had the third row of seats that I previously removed and so I had to make a new floor. I removed that floor to fit the Travall. The Travall product is meant for the 5 seater where you remove the floor and the drawers sit on the ledge on the sides where the floor use to sit. So to fit in the 7 seater you need to make a new ledge or buy new trim pieces that have the ledge already there. In my case I installed some angle aluminum.
- The driver side wing piece isn't meant to installed in a defender that has the rear cooling unit. That was easy to fix though as I just used what they sent as a template and cut a new piece of wood to match my cars profile, added some vehicle carpet I had lying around, and then reused the bracket that went with the factory piece. Worked out really well.
