  1. 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.
  2. 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.
Shipping from the UK was very expensive, about 50% of the cost of the actual product. It came via FEDEX freight and took about a week. Make sure they don't charge you VAT. The listed price includes VAT. It came on a pallet. Even with the shipping it was little less to 2/3rd the cost of an air down gear up (ADGU) setup depending on if you hit a sale or not and this assumes they even have something for the Defender (they currently do not). It doesn't quite have all the features you get with ADGU but for the price and needing something now it will work fine. I would have preferred two drawers side by side.

Great info. I have looked at several drawer systems but none that are as nice as this one. I do not see any measurements on their site so I was wondering if you knew how tall it was from the original floor height and how deep the drawer is?

As for what did I do today. I plasti dipped the hood, added a rear door table, lifting rods, and cargo bridge. Wonder if the door table will interfere with the drawer if I go that route?

The height is 9". Didn't get a measurement on the drawer as I am already parked in my garage, but it is about an inch shorter than the top surface, so around 30" or so. The drawer height is only 4" on the sides, but there is about a half inch of room above that.

between the drawer and the door is about 2". I just ordered the powerfulUK table and will be fitting it this weekend. That table is about 3cm when closed.

Looks Great! Do you by chance have a photo of the Slimline2 rack from the ladder side? Is that the shorter rack?
