I feel this is very strong and will not fail. I don't leave the unit in my car the whole time, I remove it and store it in my garage roof. I do separate the top section and lift that out first.
Others have extended the cable with a drawer wire around to the back of the rear passengers seat as they have cargo barriers and drawers fitted.

@Rich-Thanks for your response, the draw wire could be a good safety measure
@Moo- i had a new latch and cable fitted last December,wasn't aware that they are revised/improved are they?

Actually if I did ever have an issue with my setup I can get to the turnbuckles just behind the rear seats, loosen them off and remove them, pull the unit forward enough to make the back ones loose and remove them too.
Then I can pull the unit as far forward as I like to get access to the tailgate.

Hi, I appreciate that this thread is over ten years old, but I love the build method and would like to have a go. I tried to download your high res guide but I think the link is broken, or you've moved it or is died a natural death I don't suppose you still have them?
Thanks in advance

That's why I like this forum ... a thread gets resurrected after 9 years and a member who hasn't posted in 4 years leaps in to help someone. .

Sold the D3 3yrs ago, the drawer system lives on in my Toyota Fortuner.
The left hand drawer has been changed to a pull out kitchen.
I missed not having a tailgate as a table.
