Drawer system for sportsback.

[craigeth]

Hey everyone,

You might all think this one is a little bit out there, but I thought I'd pose the question to you all anyway.

I'm looking to install a drawer system in the back of my 2010 activ sportsback. I'm a photographer, and I have a lot of gear that I need to carry around and it often rolls around in the back. You can buy and/or make drawer systems for 44wdrives, but I'm wondering if anyone has ever made one for a lancer.

I'll probably build it myself, and probably use mostly wood.

Any thoughts, ideas, recommendations, warnings?

Cheers!

Great idea.

I guess just have a look at other systems that have been built.

My only suggestions of things to consider are;
• Keep the unit below the boot tray cover (so it is hidden to prying eyes when the boot is closed)
• Secure the box so the whole unit does not slide around
• Locks on the drawers?
• How to gain access to your spare wheel?
• You may have to upgrade the rear springs to cope with the constant load, the last thing you want is your car looking like a squatting camper.

Wow I didn't even think about the springs. Cheers.

I'm going to make it so that I can take it out when not being used.
