Does anyone have ARB roller floors installed on a 3rd row 5th Gen? Need some pics

I'm about to pull the trigger on a ARB outback solution but I wanted to confirm which sizes I need to order. I have a 3rd row 5th gen with the 3rd row removed and a goose gear plate installed. I'm hoping someone has already built their rear like this and has pictures or dimensions of the boxes I need to order.

Trying to decide between two skinny roller floors or one normal box and one skinny roller floor.

Thanks,
CP

arb drawers

I just put in two rf945 in my trunk. I removed the third rows and put it on plywood. I've only had them for a few weeks, and I wish I went with the taller ones.

The rd945 will fit, if you snug them closest to the rear lift gateyou only lose about an 1inch on the reclining seats.

The roller floor (rf945) let’s you keep the full recline but only holds hand tools and small items no taller than 2.5 inches
 
Do you plan on putting a fridge into your 4runner in the future? and how do you plan on installing it.

If you want to run 2 side by side drawers with a fridge on top of a drawer, then get a small drawer for the fridge, and a regular drawer.

If you plan on running a fridge, and stack the two drawers next to it, I'd get 2 full size drawers.

If there is no plans for a fridge, get 2 fullsize drawers.

If you plan on running a fridge on top of a fullsize drawers, you will lose alot of outward visibility, and lose alot of usable space.

As others have mentioned, the small drawer's useable space is about 2 inches. Its really tiny. Also the roller floors also cut into the useable space near the edges, due to the bearings (not really a big deal, just annoying). I rather go with nonroller floors and a dedicated fridge slide.

Lastly, while I'm not trying to talk you out of it, but you need to seriously consider the weight, cost, and loss of cargo space. Those drawers are seriously over built and heavy.

I have drawers but I don't have them installed fulltime, because of the weight, and the noise and rattling that come from the gear inside of the drawers, and the amount of space drawers take up.

If I had to do it again, and since I have a fridge, I would not buy drawers again. I'd run my fridge on one side, and plastic plano or packing boxes on the other side of the cargo bay. That way, you gain back some modularity, or freedom to pack your stuff however you want.

Something you should consider before buying drawers on a daily driver. YMMV

If you had to do it over would you run just one smaller drawer ($560)with the fridge on top or go with a slide? for $350

I'd go with a slide n two Plano bins...later on you can add drawers if u still wanted. I wouldn't get roller floors cuz it cuts down on use able drawer space.

Fyi, I've since reinstalled my drawers not because I like them but bc it's taking up to much space in my garage......anyways Im still on the fence about them
