Lightbulb Your thought on my camping-traveling project

Hi guy's

I've been working on a drawers system for my Defender for a little while now and i'd like your thoughts on the the finish product. A little about my background first... I'm the owner of a commercial truck uplifting company so i'm alway developing and working on different project for my customers. Most of the units I build for my cutomers are made using aluminum to keep the weight down so I decided to use the same material for this unit. So this winter with the help of my designer friend, I decider to have fun building a drawers unit for my 2020 First Edition Defender 110. I think this can be used either for camping or simply travelling. The unit mesures (35" wide x (24" & 35") deep x 21.5" tall) It was designed with a Dometic CFX 55IM fridge with tray in mind but obviously a smaller model fridge would do. The 3 side drawers are lockable and are using 150 lbs slides so they are pretty tough. Like I mentioned before, it's all made using aluminium and powder coated black for a nicer finish. It attache to the four hooks un the Defender floor. Like I said let me know what you think.

Thank you.

Looks fantastic. Clean and efficient. Any concerns with the metal parts rattling on the trail?

Not bad at all. Only tried it in some rough area around here and doesn't seem to want to rattle. We installed a lots of foam strips.....

Wow! Well done there. Seems like the cooler takes over the driver side 2nd seat. More great storage. Is the plan to do the same with the other side?

No. That's as far as I will invest time on this. Also wanted to keep one seat available just in case.
