    Default Help needed with Jeep JK Storage Drawers

    I have a 2011 Jeep JK and looking to install storage drawers. So far the ARB units seem the best, well made, covered in industrial carpet and they look good. Unfortunately the sizes they make will not fit my trunk. I have my onboard compressor on the inside of the tail gate which takes up about 6-7 inches of the trunk space. There is no room anywhere to relocate the compressor and ARB will not make custom sizes. I've looked at other solutions from Tuffy, Smittybuilt, etc but their sizes won't fit either and in my opinion they are not as good as ARB. The only thing I can think of is to cut down the ARB units but I don't believe I could do it successfully without butchering the drawers. They have to be shorter (the length from the rear seats to the tailgate), to allow the tailgate with the compressor to close. I don't want to go to a timber or plastic solution.

    Does anyone know where I can get quality custom drawers made to specific dimentions ?

    Here are the ARB drawers that I like (not my Jeep).




    This is my compressor mounted on the tailgate.

    Hi Minx. Adventure Trailers has a fantastic line of drawer systems and they also do custom work. They are the best in the business! They should be able to meet just about any design need you have. Workmanship, design and materials are the best.

    Thank you very much. I do know them but didn't think they did custom work. I'll give them a call.

    Thanks again !!!

    Minx, AT website states a minimum order of five drawers for custom work. Might give them a call anyway. Very nice set up you are working on.

    I have a feeling that you don't want to relocate your compressor, but if you are ok with it, you can fit your entire compressor (without air tank) in the hidden cavity behind your right tail light in a JK. Tight fit, but it works. I've seen a fews threads (here and jkowners I believe) if you are interested. Pretty slick.
