Raiser false boot floor

[Nxsr]

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone has had a raised false floor folded up out of Alu. Or steel to allow access to 7 seat well, whilst still using a drawer system?
False floor bolts down to car, drawer system bolts to false floor......

Hi NXsr - I have a Gen 3, NP.

I removed the 3rd row seats, & installed a set of those Titan drawers from 4wd SupaCentre. I reckon they’re pretty good value for money.

I wanted to get the side wings up & over the wheel arches, so I used a few strips of pine (can’t remember if 70 or 90mm), and basically used them as ‘packers’ to sit on each side to lift the whole setup.

The main drawer frame is still bolted down to the chassis at the front (behind 2nd row seat), & with stainless stirrups & ‘twisty tensioner’ things at the back to hold it still.

The drawer system includes a fridge-slide, when when open gives clear open access to the storage well from above, plus I can access from the rear easily. It helps also with the volume of storage underneath.

Here’s a few pics. Don’t mind the cargo - have spent the weekend on the south coast, via McLaren Vale wine region.





I still need to trim a couple of the side panels to match perfectly, but that’s easy stuff.

I can take some more detailed ones later if you like (from underneath etc). Let me know if you need more. Cheers

Looks great. How do you access the items in the seat well? Do you have a false bottom in the drawers?

Hi Mikel. I can actually access most things from the rear of the Paj actually. Down there is spare belts, tyres repair kit, the usual factory jack & bar (that’s probably the most awkward thing to get in & out, but still easy enough), 2 side walls for awning, butane gas stove in a box. The largest thing is a recovery kit in a bag (I get it out if getting into hairy terrain), but otherwise I can access directly under the fridge slide. The Titan drawers are all based on a frame, but with no floor, so once the fridge slide is open I can get in easy via left hand passenger door, & fold up the seat.

We did a big road trip in June (Adelaide to Cairns then down the east coast). I removed the second row seats & we had stacks of room - putting heavy stuff right in the middle of the vehicle. Cheers

Thanks for the explanation, and sounds like a very convenient setup. I have a full cargo barrier which stuffs that up a bit.

No probs - I just do it that way, because that’s easiest without a cargo barrier, but even with one in place, & the fridge slide out, you could get access all the way down - it’d just be a little more awkward. Be very easy without a fridge strapped in place. From the rear I can still fit a butane stove through the gap, inside its case.

Another way is simply to remove a drawer (I haven’t installed the drawer stoppers just yet) - they come out like a kitchen drawer - then you can place things through the gap and down underneath. Easy.

This is my solution. I did not raise my storage draws. I made myself a 3 draw unit, includes fridge slide on top shelf and even a slide out prep shelf.
I made them less deep by 300mm and it allows me to store fuel cans or other stuff against the door, and still get access to the area for easy removal of stuff, recovery gear, tarps, jack and second battery.
I may get around to putting in side wings at some stage but suits me fine for the moment. I store tools in them when not traveling.

Have a squizz at the drifta ones.

I was just checking them out last night.

A bit exy but might give you some ideas if you don't wish to spend that sort of coin

They have access to the underneath storage but looks like you'd need to pull the drawers to get to it. could be a pita.

I'm only planning on setting up a spare battery and maybe the compressor under there if I can route the air through the floor. so access would be minimal but there if you needed it.
