The good news is Gearmate as the shorter version of their drawers that is level with the back seats up on their site. The bad news is they dont seem to ship outside the UK. Bummer.

@mcdoogs -- I enquired a few weeks ago and they will ship to the US --- at the time freight was +/- £675GBP / $870USD.

Ok! So that puts it at ~$2500 shipped since we dont pay VAT. $500 less expensive than the diabolical drawer system

I received my Gearmate drawer system (directly from the MFG) this week and installed it yesterday... the fit & finish + build quality is exceptional. If you are looking for a drawer system, this is the gold standard IMO. I purchased the model that flattens the load space when the second row seating is down so I can fit a (custom) mattress inside the vehicle.

The drawer height of the model I purchased is just over 4" which may be too shallow for some but for me (I use Zarges cases on a Leitner rack) it's perfect. Step 22 products for storage organization work really well with this drawer.

Anyway, for those of you who are interested in purchasing the draw directly from Gearmate my contact there is:

For those of you looking for a rock solid drawer with OEM fit and finish, I can't recommend this product enough.

Installed the Diabolical drawer leveling kit a couple of weeks ago. No squeaks or rattles and a much appreciated addition to the original drawer.

This is now available on the configurator

So many options, and I had a pressing need for a trip, but I didn’t know what I’d need, so I did a ‘prototype’ or really a stop-gap to see what I really need.

Used some 3/4 thick laminated particle board to make an easily removeable and not that expensive. It used hinges to make it so that I could store it more easily. The idea was to have ‘caps’ on the end to stabilize the hinged risers, but the 3Dprinted ones I used couldn’t stand the ‘side load’ and cracked. So I used angle iron and wing nuts to make it pretty easy to flatten. The angle iron stand a bit proud/tall, but not too bad.

All in all, less than $100.

Learned a few things.
The cargo area is ‘shorter’ than I realize, I need to maximize the width- and every inch matters.
I didn’t pay attention to the exact placement of the verticals. They need to be as far out as possible.
I used a 12 inch tall verticals. It’s probably more than I need, but I wanted to try too tall first.
I use it because I keep boots, coats, shopping bags and other items in and I still want to have some cargo room.

what can you actually do with that drawer? what if you want to mount fridge in the vehicle? Can you bolt more items to the top surface?

I need to just do this for my upcoming trip... except, i need it to be equal height as the seat back.

What "caps" did you use to stabilize the hinges?

I’ve actually been thinking about it for rod tubes and reels - out of sight, locked away. Not sure - there are good options out there.

You want to collapse your rod, each time you need to transport?

I keep rods, reels and a sling bag in the back at all times - Madison is just a short drive from the Driftless. When I’m stream hopping then I don’t break it down. A locked drawer might just be nice. Booked out this morning, caught two brookies and was back before anyone else was up.

I 3d printed them out of PETG, at less than 100% infil, and they broke FAST. There is a lot of torque(?)/Stress on that corner as you bounce down the road and turn. I ended up going with 1.5(?)inch angle iron with one side with a bolt and wing nut to make is easy to collapse.

It’s been in there since I posted, couple of thousand miles, PLUS did the REd Noland 101 & 102 classes and it held up. Had a bunch of soda packs on top and that didn’t kill it

Wife says that 12 inches high is too high, but it worked well for three PRS sticks with scopes in bags.

I still need a lockable version, but I don’t know if I need a drawer, because it will take away storage space, both height and width. The back area isn’t that deep, so if it tall enough, I can reach all the way in.

I need to get some toys and see how they could fit, and go from there. But for now, I’m tickled pink over my $100 Home Depot version.
