I have been wanting to add some drawers to the Pajero since I had it to allow me to carry and store my camping equipment and stuff.
I finally decided to get to building it seeing as there is no retailer that currently does them for the NG Pajero...... plenty of places for Landcruisers and Patrols etc.... but thats my beef lol
anyways I started by measuring the area I had available to me..... not a lot as it has a gas tank fitted in the cargo area right behind the rear seats.
anyways I decided to give it a whirl.... now as i dont actually have a workshop, or saw bench or router bench or pretty much anything else... I had to tackle this using a circular saw and a jigsaw..... we recently removed the old kitchen in our house to install a brand new one and I still had the old melamine pantry sitting here so that was the material sorted...
First came the side walls which I had to cut to fit over the gas tank angle and bolts
once I had the walls figured out... it was simply a matter for making the slide for the fridge and frames for the drawers
then came the drawers themselves and boxing the gas tank
this project is still under way....
I still need to get hold of some marine carpet to cover the whole thing in
and line the drawers....
after all thats done I will probably fill in the sides with tops to make a continuous deck across the back....
I will also need to fit the second battery and the DC converter and Aux plugs
i will keep you posted as to the progress
