I’m not looking to buy yours, but want to see how it fits in your Jeep, if you have a JL that would be ideal. Mainly, I’m looking at a drawer system vs a secure cargo(diabolical slipstream) system.

Thanks.

I'm sorry you didn't get any replies. It seems the expense of the ARB roller drawer system makes it a bit of a rarity, at least here in the US.
Did you decide what to go with? I ask because I chose the ARB system and am currently awaiting its arrival which is scheduled for the middle of next week.

I was considering another shelf option with Goose Gear, but the ARB is a bit more low key/blend into the interior than the Goose Gear product

I'm also awaiting for my shipment, hopefully it'll arrive next week as well.

I agree. I checked out the Goose Gear stuff myself, but it didn't do anything for me. Let me know how your installation goes and I'll do the same.

Yeah, I like that outfit. Actually, I'm taking a serious look at their high-line fender brace.
It’s a terrific product, love the looks and function!

I received my roller drawer system yesterday and installed it. The instructions are basically good, but leave a lot of blanks that you have to figure out for yourself. If you haven't installed yours yet and run into any trouble when you do, PM me and I'll do my best to help you with it.

I appreciate it, mine arrived on wednesday I havent had a chance to install it as my JLUR has been in the shop for the last 2 weeks. I may take you up on your offer as I have been looking for any installation videos.

The only installation video I could find is for a JK and, thankfully, the procedure for installing it is completely different in many regards. It is harder and more complicated. The instructions are good when they actually cover a step, but there are huge gaps in the explanations of several steps. There are instances where the instructions will say do this or do that with no explanation as to how to do it. They also take for granted that you are familiar with their nomenclature and possibly some are, but I definitely was not so I had to figure out what they were talking about. If you do run into any issues or have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me.

@XTrooper Steve - thank you again for the information and assistance. I think I know why the ARB instructions aren’t as detailed...there are no one good way to do certain things. I had to reset the drawer as one of the nuts on the “hat” fell off.

One thing left is to measure out the dimensions to compensate for the Alpine subwoofer, I may have to employ a woodworking friend of mine.

You're very welcome, Matey! :like:

Look here regarding modifying the right side compartment for the Alpine subwoofer. These fellas did it.

Hey Ken - I know this is an old thread, but I am interested to know your thoughts on this drawer system after 2 years of using it. I am also wondering if you have had issues with water getting into the space underneath.
