4×4 vehicles are well known for their storage capacity, a fact that makes them popular for both leisure and commercial use. If your 4WD vehicle doesn’t deliver enough space for your unique needs, however, the right upgrades can boost the storage capacity of your vehicle dramatically.
From storing your camping supplies on a modular roof rack to making room for extra fuel with an additional fuel tank, the possibilities really are endless!
It’s not just the exterior of your vehicle that can be modified to carry much, much more when travelling on the road or off. Inside, a carefully chosen and integrated drawer system could be just the ticket to solving those common storage challenges.
Read on to discover the benefits of adding a drawer system to a 4×4, and the top products that make them realities.
Store all those off-road essentials
Boosting the storage capacity of your 4×4 without disrupting the comfort or convenience of your in-cab setup isn’t easy. The drawer systems we stock here at 4×4 Works however provide all you need for storing those little and slightly larger items.
Unlike roof rack storage, items stored in a 4×4 drawer system aren’t exposed to the elements, meaning you can keep them free from the dust and dirt you encounter during every off-road adventure.
Distribute the weight of your supplies
The distribution of weight matters when carrying supplies in your 4×4. An unbalanced load can send your vehicle off course rather quickly and even put you at risk of toppling over. By using a drawer system to store your supplies, you have a base to evenly distribute your cargo to keep your vehicle on the right track, whatever the terrain or trail.
When compared with roof rack storage, drawer system storage keeps the centre of gravity of your vehicle much lower to minimise risk further.
Keep your boot clean and clear
The compact and sleek nature of drawer system designs means you can keep supplies well organised without leaving your boot in disarray. Most drawer systems sport horizontal layouts to ensure storage space can be utilised well, with room to store more items on top.
By simplifying your boot space, you’ll find it easier to access and find the supplies you need too. Drawer systems are hugely practical, making them ideal for all types of 4×4 drivers, including those who regularly camp, off-road or tow a caravan.
Make your storage modular
While we’re on the subject of staying organised when travelling off-road, you’ll be pleased to hear that many of the best drawer systems are modular by design, including our ARB Outback Modular Drawer Storage Systems and Front Runner Wolf Pack Drawer Kits.
MotoFomo explains why modular drawer systems really are the best in the business:
“Going above and beyond the standard twin drawer setups, more than a few companies are now making modular drawers, so that you can run them side by side, or stacked one on top of the other; allowing you to set them up as you see fit. This is especially useful when you’ve got a fridge you want to run, but putting it on top of the drawers lifts it too high to get at without a step ladder.”
Both our ARB and Front Runner drawer systems are highly configurable to ensure a range of customisable storage solutions for both adventure and commercial use. Additional accessories and organisers are also available at extra cost to personalise your setup further.
Secure your load when off the road
Security matters, whatever destination you choose to explore for your off-road adventure. With this in mind, many drawer units are lockable as well as hard-wearing to guarantee the highest level of security as standard.
