Thanks Greg. Watched a bunch of vids over the years on building drawer systems, this ones up there with the very best. Much appreciated man. Nice of you to take the time to share your build.
Just come across this video, what a great system and setup. I've been wanting to make a set of drawers for my patrol as commercially bought ones are way out of my price range. Your videos have inspired me to start planning and get on with the build. Cheers
Thanks for sharing Greg. I'm now building my own set based on your design. I managed to get all the Aluminium from Capral Aluminium at very reasonable prices, delivered to my door. Great stuff to work with & really light & strong.
Very great design with the aluminum structures. I have just begun a similar build on my 2000 jeep xj and am using the same material but welding all the joints for durability against frequent offroad trails
Hello Greg. I have watched your 4 part videos over and over and you are an inspiration. Excellent job. I am making similar setup in my 2011 Prado. Hope it comes out as good as yours looks
Thanks Greg great idea, I'm using your ideas to build drawers for the canopy on my ute. Just something that might help others, the aluminium tube is really expensive at Bunnings. I bought some from an aluminium supply place, it was a quarter of the price. I'm also using poly boat trailer slides instead of runners, lighter, cheaper and you don't lose width off the drawers. Cheers!
Hi I found 1.6mm sheet fine, The reason I did not use 2.5mm sheet was because it will add more weight and it was a lot more expensive. But it would work fine and be very strong. It comes down to your own choice. I did use 2.5mm on my camp trailer kitchen on the ends only because I had some left over and it worked out great.
I would not buy the 25mm box channel there as it is very expensive. I would look for a local aluminum distributor, they would most likely have the ezy join as well and it would also be cheaper than bunnings. I paid $19 for a 6m length and required 6 lengths. The 25mm square is 1.2mm thick and easy to cut with a drop saw with the normal wood blade. I paid about $150 for a sheet of aluminum 1.2m x 2.4m x 1.2mm thick, it did the whole job. T
I am not sure about about the USA, our sizes often came in imperial as 1" box, so I would assume that easy-join would be an USA company. if you email easy join here in Australia they will be able to tell you. they would most likely ship the product to you as well.See this web site in the video description, There are lots of places that sell easy join just type it in the Google search. Greg
Hi mate I know we had trouble getting parts in SA, but bunnings should have them, they do not call them ezy join, they are connectors and can be found near the checker plate and other aluminum products.
I have wanted to make a custom setup in the back to so i can fit fridge and food and still have my dogs little section. This is just what i need to use i recon
he ply I brought was form ply from bunnings and it cost $60 a sheet of 1.2m X 1.8m x 18mm and I had a bit left. The front ply was marine ply 12mm thick and just enough for the front of the draws. The slides you can buy on EBAY and I would buy 900mm with locks and be able to take at leased 125kg. Hope this has been helpful.
You can get 1.2 &1.6mm wall joiners. Would uou just use the 1.2mm ? I have the same landcruiser do i hope mine turns out as good. Thanks for all the info. Jon
Looks awesome mate. Any updates a few years on? anything you would've done differently? Looking to build a set for myself. How are those plastic joiners holding up? Cheers mate
Nice work but wish you had done a demo of putting this together. What do the joiners look like, how did you cut the tubing, etc. Please hold camera steady, and talk clearly, and slowly. It was hard to hear what you said, even with a repeat. You need a tripod for the camera. The swaying made me dizzy.
how have the drawers held up on the corrugation? Are those plastic connectors rugged enough? Love the idea and also wondering how much you think the whole unit weighs?
Morning Greg. The draws look amazing. I am looking at doing a similar project and was hoping I could ask you a few questions. 1. the easy join joints you used, are the just friction fit or do you rivet them in place? 2. Do you by any chance remember where you got the actual sliders (hinges) from? 3. How have the drawers held up over time? 4. Now that you have lived with the system for a few years are there any changes you would make? Thanks for your advice and the amazing video. Looking forward to getting started on my own system.
I brought them though a trailer parts store here in Townsville, (wheels and castors) You did not need to rivet the easy join. Hope your build goes well.
Hey Greg! Thanks for the inspiration! Just wondering what your internal dimensions are? Do you reckon they are about the same size as the big company ones? I love the thought that you can make these so easily and for so cheap while there are others selling them for $2000!
The draws end up slightly bigger if you use the draw slides because they are smaller then the draw sides that run on bearings that they have on the expensive sets. Check out ironman and blackwidow draws.
Great job Greg. I've been thinking about how to do a light weight drawer system in a Discovery 4 and what you've done with the easy join sytem fits the bill perfectly. When's part 2 coming?
Hi John Thanks for the comments, all 4 parts are on youtube, click on my name and you should be able to get to them. All the best with you project, it is simple and easy to make and it costs a lot less than the kits you can buy. Greg
Hi Greg, I liked your system. I'm only now seeing the video in 2021, and so was just wondering, seeing it is a few years old now, how the system has fared over the years?
Thanks. Much appreciated. I notice in the back 'square' of the 25x25mm frame as well well as in the centre supports (25x25mm box) there does not appear to be the black joining sections as you have in the top and in most part of the frame. How are these parts joined together?
Ian Granland Hi Ian on the draw system I added a middle support in the draw system to give it strength using 2 x 4 ways and 2 times T joiners. I have found that over about 1000mm this gives heaps of strength. If you watch vid 2 you can see I added another box length down the side about 10mm from the base because I felt I need to support the runners. I had originally made the draws to use ball bearings that I show in vid 1 and realized runners give you a bigger and stronger draw system. Iron man draws are are good youtube to watch to see the bearing system at work. I brought roller skate bearings on ebay that would have been a lot cheaper to use then the runners. I also found that the bearings would easily take a bolt through the middle, but it would have been a lot harder to know where to position them. It would have made the draws smaller because both sides of the draw would need a length of 25mmx25mm to run the draws on loosing just over 50mm width in the draws. The extra lengths I used for the runners are only held in by the side sheets riveted through to the runners which are made and shaped for strength. If you use runners and wanted them on the bottom like mine the easy join do not have enough room to be used and if you wanted you could just rivet into the sheet, but I wanted a bit more strength and so went with the extra lengths. Thanks again for you question and I hope my answer is not to confusing. Greg
Great work Greg. you gave me the possibility to do it myself as well. in the first video you said you used 25mm x 1.6 mm (minute 2:50) but on the comment below you wrote "the 25mm square is 1.2mm thick and easy to cut with a drop saw with the normal wood blade". Is it 1.6 or 1.2mm thickness?
Hi Oliver, yes you are right, the size is 1.2mm 25x25 box. These are the only ones that will fit the easyjoin connectors. The wood drop saw works fine all you need to do is go through slowly and it makes perfect cuts. I also use a bench saw to cut my sheeting. Make sure you go slow and wear eye protection as the little shaving fly out everywhere. Greg
Greg, hold that camera steady and speak clearly. I replayed the section about cost 3 times and still unable to decipher your words. How much is that aluminum again? I gave up trying to watch. Getting seasick here. Such a useful video and you don't use a tripod!
Awesome job Greg, you have inspired me to make a set for my Defender. One quick question, how did you do the joint in the draws in the corners and the middle where many joint come together (Part 1, time 6:13). i.e. in the draw middle you have the draw vertical and horizontals plus the additional horizontal section which the slider attaches to. Did you use a 4 and 3 way? Cheers Luke
Hi Greg. Looks good. Two questions: You appear to connect the bottom metal sheeting to the bottom of the frame. Is this done by pop riveting and if so in time wont the weight to the material in the drawer force the bottom sheet away from the frame. Secondly the runners and how to fit etc. I need a bit more info on that, please.
Ian Granland Hi Ian I have attached the bottom drawer with rivets and it is heaps strong enough. I often have heavy tools and 4wd recovery gear in the draws and they have not moved. I have traveled on hundreds of kms of dirt and rough roads and the draw system is as good as the day I built it. My other vids go into the runners and how I fitted them. The rivets in the runners have not moved and the runners are still working perfectly. Thanks for your questions and all the best with your planning and build if you go that way. Greg
Hi Greg, Great job looks awesome, what are the lockable draw runners your using? how much were they? and where did you get them... these seem pretty expensive... cheers
David Paull Hi there, we are Taiwanese Manufacturer and we produce this similar kind of ball bearing slide as well. Please go to www.binyuann.com if you are interested.
David Paull Hi I brought them from wheels and castors on Bayswater Road in Townsville they were around $100 a set. You can try ebay or the links below. i have not dealt with Joy and I try to get items through trusted sites. Greg
Hi Greg I was inspired by your storage drawers so thought I give it ago myself. my question to you is could I get a parts list on what you used please.
No they are as good as new, After looking at a few different designs of draws that were a lot more expensive, I believe my set of draws is stronger. The draws make no noise and slide freely, Greg
Yes pop riverts, they are very strong, I have not had a problem with the slides even after many hours of rough tracks and corrugations. They are used in plane construction and have a good track record. If you check out some of the brand draws they use screws on the end walls and I would say a rivert is stronger than a screw. thanks for your comments. Greg
Greg Tanner Hey Greg, for the drawer slide, did you connect them directly to the sheet metal with pop rivet? I am not sure if I should connect them straight to the side of the drawer or attach a wood rail first?.... If you attached them to the sheet metal, how thick was the sheet metal? the runners I purchased were damn heavy! Cheers
Dan Farrell Hi Dan, I connected the slides with rivets through the sheet into the frame. I added extra frame to deal with the weight. If you look through vid 2 and 3 you can see them. Greg
Thanks Greg for making this video, had a brainwave to put drawers into my series100 today but didn't expect them to be so pricey. do you have any specs available for this if possible
been 9 years now and they are still going as good as the day i installed them. Been through heaps of rough stuff and have not missed a beat. My fridge has not faired so well and i have had to fix the drop down slide several times. It was a brought one. that sits on top of my draws.
+oh somefarkhead You would need to make a plan to suite your own system depending on the vehicle and your design you make. each corner and support would need a joiner. Each joiner is rated to 50kgs. No easy answer to your question sorry.
FerhdeMerak Hi there, we are Taiwanese Manufacturer and we produce this similar kind of ball bearing slide as well. Please go to www.binyuann.com if you are interested.
Just in the process of using these aluminum connect it pieces (what bunnings calls them for players at home) for a drawer setup. So far so good, just wondering, did you plant this straight to the floor of the cruiser above the vinyl or use a piece of wood to sit it on? Also google drawerslide-int.com.au for some quality drawer sliders. Got em for $46 a pair online, 125kg rated and are located in Welshpool, Perth, Western Australia.
For some odd reason they (Easy solutions), doesn't seem to respond to emails sent to them or their own contact info page inquiry's. Very closed off website as far as consumer friendly. I'd like to purchase some product but I cant even find out what it would cost to ship to the US as their online cart system isnt setup for anything outside of the land down under.. Can you provide a complete phone number in a reply so I may call them?
I searched for “building aluminum drawers” for my work van, then this guy comes on saying to build with Ally-Mean-Hum, I tried to find it at Home Depot but nothing, now what?
Hey Greg, you forgot to tell the world that Queensland Australia is the best state and country in the world, yes Americans even better than your country. Nice draws Greg, Go Queenslander.
How do you know? Have you been to California? Oh, I forgot! Aren't you guys on that remote island with weird wildlife floating in the sea, cut off from everything else? No wonder you think you are the best. Unable to get anywhere from that dry dock in the water.
$16 for 6.5m lengths of 25.4mm square tube - Thats 4 to 5 times cheaper than Bunnings...... Not sure if Capral do the 'Connect-it' joiners though. I'm ordering some tube tomorrow.
@@shreckm6470 Yes, I seem to finding this out from different sources all at once this morning 🥴 QubeLok - I'm just about to order some, but I've got the glorious task of working out how many and what type of connectors I need.........Cheers 👍🏻
For those in the US, the similar product is called Quick Frame from 80/20inc.
For those in South Africa, the similar product is called Connect-It

Nice video mate, people like you make youtube so awesome! Thank you!
Just given me the confidence to make my own!
Love your draws Luke thanks for the pictures you did a great job. Look fantastic.

Nice work mate
Great video, you saved me a couple of grand
Do you think it would hold 2 people sleeping on top? With a foam mattress?
Looks awesome mate. Any updates a few years on? anything you would've done differently? Looking to build a set for myself. How are those plastic joiners holding up? Cheers mate
Mate great work im heading to bunnings after work 👌
i want to make a sleeping platform using this method, how do the plastic joints hold up rattling about on rough corrugated roads?
Hi looks great any idea of the finished weight
Nice work but wish you had done a demo of putting this together. What do the joiners look like, how did you cut the tubing, etc.
Please hold camera steady, and talk clearly, and slowly. It was hard to hear what you said, even with a repeat. You need a tripod for the camera. The swaying made me dizzy.

Hi it has done a lot of rough country and is as good as new. My fridge slide has not done as well. But the draws still work perfectly
Thanks

Yes pop riverts, they are very strong, I have not had a problem with the slides even after many hours of rough tracks and corrugations. They are used in plane construction and have a good track record. If you check out some of the brand draws they use screws on the end walls and I would say a rivert is stronger than a screw. thanks for your comments.

Hi Greg
great videos mate very helpful where did you get you aloy box from? ( bunnings do sell it but only short lengths)
Good video - thanks for the tips.
Great Job well done
Whats that material called mate,.
Thanks Greg for making this video, had a brainwave to put drawers into my series100 today but didn't expect them to be so pricey. do you have any specs available for this if possible
Hi no I did not keep the specs they were very roughly drawn. I do cover in the 4 parts how to make a plan. Check out some other vids, such as drifta.
great vid, its gave so good ideas, thanks
Where did you purchase your 6 metre lengths mate please?
I think they were 8 meters from Ullrich Aluminium Townsville.
Hi Greg Great Video where can I see Video 2
Greg ty for video thinking of doing this for my 80's, for your end result can you share how much it cost
Cheers
Hi the total cost in 20`2 was around the $600 mark, the draws are still working perfectly after many long rough trips.
Greg
what the thickness of the square tubing or what do you recommend ?
Joel Del Rio hi I think it was .
2mm the easy joins are made for them
Greg how did those roller brackets hold up?
been 9 years now and they are still going as good as the day i installed them. Been through heaps of rough stuff and have not missed a beat. My fridge has not faired so well and i have had to fix the drop down slide several times. It was a brought one. that sits on top of my draws.
@@gregtanner7766 cheers mate great job; might give it a go myself; Thankyou for your reply!
Did you do anything to protect the ply on top ? primer or epoxy? or did you just leave it
Jack Dunn the ply was form ply and i covered it with carpet. The form ply comes already sealed in black or brown.
Thanks for reply greg, so form ply is waterproof ?
What was the final weight of the drawers?
4wd supacentre's ones are 75 kg
Hi Juzzy did not weigh mine and the most weight is in the 18mm ply on the top. i would be surprised if it weighed more then 40kg.
great video, thanks mate very helpful.
how many joiners would you need to make a draw system like you
+oh somefarkhead You would need to make a plan to suite your own system depending on the vehicle and your design you make. each corner and support would need a joiner. Each joiner is rated to 50kgs. No easy answer to your question sorry.
Very nice video! can you give me the spec of the lockable Slider and where you found them please? :)

For some odd reason they (Easy solutions), doesn't seem to respond to emails sent to them or their own contact info page inquiry's. Very closed off website as far as consumer friendly.

Can you provide a complete phone number in a reply so I may call them?
Don't get petrol on those black joiners..... Been there, got that T shirt......
exceptional!
you should get better camera with some stabilizer this is awfull to get some good detail. It's constantly shaking . ..
Is anyone aware of something like the Easy Join system that is available in the US?

I searched for “building aluminum drawers” for my work van, then this guy comes on saying to build with Ally-Mean-Hum, I tried to find it at Home Depot but nothing, now what?
easytube is also in the us.
Hey Greg, you forgot to tell the world that Queensland Australia is the best state and country in the world, yes Americans even better than your country. Nice draws Greg, Go Queenslander.
How do you know? Have you been to California? Oh, I forgot! Aren't you guys on that remote island with weird wildlife floating in the sea, cut off from everything else? No wonder you think you are the best. Unable to get anywhere from that dry dock in the water.
4x4 supercenter is cheap and great quality draws under 500
Greg, very interested in your design, any chance I can have your email address so I can discuss it further. Much appreciated, Dane
Don't buy it from Bunnings go to a company called Capral it's less half the price .
$16 for 6.5m lengths of 25.4mm square tube - Thats 4 to 5 times cheaper than Bunnings...... Not sure if Capral do the 'Connect-it' joiners though. I'm ordering some tube tomorrow.
@@Watching-and-Learning They do the connecters as well.👍
@@shreckm6470 Yes, I seem to finding this out from different sources all at once this morning 🥴 QubeLok - I'm just about to order some, but I've got the glorious task of working out how many and what type of connectors I need.........Cheers 👍🏻
very nice system. A bit racist though, aight.
interesting but next time use a tripod or something to steady the camera.
