storage ideas for landrover
Hi there. Has anyone got some pictures of how they stowed their stuff for a landrover discovery. I dont want to go too mad drilling, welding or fitting complete drawer systems etc. Just some ideas which you may have used, and it saw you through your trip. Am off to Morroco this coming winter, but only camping in the south for 7/10 days.

For an Algeria trip I did the following:
Removed the backseats and built a kind of wooden crate to hold 3 fuel and 3 water jerries. after that I had a row of toolboxes, and then 4 banana boxes. The spare wheel was behind the rear wheel arch inside the car. No roofrack) All was strapped down under a plastic cover. As fixation points I used those hooks that are used on climbing walls belaying, and bolted them down using the points of the seat belts. This system was simple, light and efficient. Last year I went trough a bit more trouble with boxes that slide in and out a frame etc. Here's a picture (I think): http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/chipol...c3.jpg&.src=ph

Also on my website www.overlandcruiser.info there's an example of a shelving / drawer unit that I used in my LR Discovery. A description can be read here: http://tinyurl.com/5xn2p

For those of you looking at building your own storage here in the UK and are looking for drawer slides I've got a few links that might be useful, here they are:

Thanks, Simon. Accuride 9301 seems even more heavy duty.
