I was afraid you would say that... my horror is complete. I can't buy them anywhere.

I got on Alibaba once and tried to get a supplier of D2 drawer systems to send me one to review. They didn't do it.

EDIT: They apparently went out of business for lack of my purchase. I did find the newest land rover model though, here.

Second EDIT: I was mistaken. Here it is.

If you were closer I would help you build a set. Would be pretty easy to recreate mine now. This is the second incarnation. First set the drawers were not the full depth of the box because I had a long horizontal storage area at the back of the box. I found out quickly that wasn't practical if I had other gear stacked on top of the box.

You can see here how it opened.

Changed up how they are secured to the floor also. Won't be moving anywhere now.

Your pictures are giving me ideas. Juices flowing.

I don't need no stinkin' Chinese drawers anyway. I'll just make some like yours.

A friend of my surprised me with with a Hi-Lift jack as an early Christmas present! So I put together some mounts to mount the jack on the side of my rack.

I had two ballast clamps I bought a while ago that I was going to use to mount something on the rack, but never got around to it. The clamps have a 1/2-13 threaded hole. I simply cut down a piece of all thread the length I needed, coated the end in red loctite, used a lock washer and nut tightened down on the clamp to keep it from backing off. Then a couple of thick fender washers on each side and a wing nut and called it done! Very sturdy, easy to put up there and easy to remove.
