They are expensive but I believe worth the money, I would of built a set quite easily but chose to get a custom set made up for my Patrol. Like all things to do with our hobbies, its going to cost

The last set I had I removed from my Triton and sold for 50% of the original cost after 4 years of hard service, not too bad.

I have the tanami brand in the Patrol and they are light and strong, a bit different design to the mainstream models.

You are paying for some stellar glueing and precision computer cutting and stainless steel stuff and ...

$2800 *Swear Word* That'd want to include fitting!

I am extreemly lucky that I have a talented hubby who made our draws for the cruiser, should post some photos on here, he did a good job. Still cost us about $600-700 (thats what hubby told me at least) for him to build them but that is with stainless and the hinges for the fridge slide.

We were looking around at prices but at $2k plus for draws plus fitting so I am lucky that my hubby could build ours.

I was very lucky.  Saw an ad in local paper for a rear draw and fridge slide, Outback brand,  that had come out of a Landrover.  Got them for $250 and it was very easy to make a small ajustment to fit in our Cruiser.   ;D

There is a set of outback draws for sale in the classified section on Myswag a week ago.

I think drifta do a good set fairly cheap. Cheap in comparison to Tanami that is.
