4x4 Storage Solutions Perth
Smart Ways to Carry Your Gear

An organized 4WD is a capable 4WD. At Coastals 4×4, we help you make the most of your vehicle’s space with a range of 4×4 storage solutions in Perth. Whether you need to stash recovery gear, camping equipment, tools or just the weekly groceries, we have clever products and custom setups to keep everything secure and accessible. From interior drawer systems to external roof storage options, we’ll transform clutter into order. No more rattling gear in the back or digging through piles of stuff – our storage upgrades will give every item a place, making your adventures (and daily life) easier and safer.

(Note: We’ve covered detailed drawer fit-outs in our Internal Fitouts section, so here we’ll focus on additional storage products and ideas.)

Drawer Systems and Cargo Cases

A quick recap on drawers: we install premium 4×4 drawer systems like the ARB Outback Solutions drawers, RVSS drawers, and more – all aimed at creating usable compartments in your boot or tray. But beyond fixed drawers, there are portable storage options:

  • Cargo Cases & Boxes: Heavy-duty storage boxes (e.g., Pelican cases, AluBox aluminum cases, or even Wolf Pack plastic crates) are excellent for organizing gear. We can supply these and even set up tie-down points or slide-out platforms for them. Many overlanders use stackable cases for kitchen kits, recovery kits, etc. – we’ll show you options that are dustproof, waterproof and virtually indestructible. Secure them with straps or in custom cubbies and you have modular storage that can be easily moved or removed as needed.

  • Storage Bags and Organizers: Not everything needs a hard case. We also carry canvas storage bags for items like tools, first aid kits, and miscellaneous accessories. Brands like MSA 4×4 make labeled bags (for recovery gear, air hoses, etc.) that keep things tidy. Pair these with a drawer or shelf system and you’ll have a place for everything and everything in its place. We can attach MOLLE panels or organizers to the sides of drawers or the back of seats to hold these bags in an orderly fashion.

Roof Storage Options

If you’ve maxed out interior space, look upwards – the roof can carry a lot with the right accessories:

  • Roof Boxes: Similar to what you see on cars for road trips, we offer roof cargo boxes (Thule, Rhino-Rack, etc.) that can mount to your roof bars or platform rack. These lockable boxes are aerodynamic and weatherproof, great for lighter bulky items like sleeping bags, clothes, or tents. A roof box keeps gear out of the car, frees up passenger space, and can be removed when not needed. We’ll ensure the box is properly sized for your vehicle and fit it securely, including any necessary supporting crossbars or fitting kits.

  • Roof Bags: An alternative is a roof top bag – essentially a heavy-duty vinyl or canvas bag that straps to the roof rack, often expandable and collapsible. These are useful if you occasionally need extra space but don’t want a permanent box. They are usually water-resistant (some fully waterproof) and can swallow irregular items. We stock brands like Rhino or Adventure Kings for cost-effective solutions. Just load up, zip closed, and cinch it down. When empty, roll it up and stow it away.

  • Jerry Can & Gas Bottle Holders: For extended trips, we can add holders to your roof rack for jerry cans (fuel or water) and gas bottles. These keep flammable or heavy liquids outside the vehicle for safety and odor reasons. Proper mounts will lock them in place – important for off-road where a loose jerry could be disastrous. We plan their position on the rack for balance (e.g., putting weight over the roof supports) and for accessibility when refueling or using water.

  • Hi-Lift Jack & Shovel Mounts: Not exactly “storage” in terms of gear, but these mounts get bulky recovery tools out of your boot and onto the roof rack. A jack and shovel strapped to the roof rack frees interior space and looks the part of a well-equipped 4WD. We have sturdy brackets for these, and even can mount things like an Axe or Maxtrax via dedicated holders (Maxtrax often go flat on the rack with quick-release pins).

Securing Your Load

Effective storage isn’t just about having space – it’s ensuring everything stays put. We emphasize securing solutions:

  • Cargo Barriers & Nets: If you don’t have a full cargo barrier, a cargo net can be a quick way to restrain items. We fit anchor points in wagons or use existing ones, and provide elastic or strap nets that go over your load. This is great for preventing bags or groceries from toppling, and for when you pack to the roof on trips.

  • Tie-Down Points: Utes often have lashing hooks, but wagons sometimes lack them. We can install additional tie-down points on floors or walls of the cargo area (using rivnuts or backing plates to handle loads). This way you can ratchet strap a fridge or generator down firmly. In canopies or custom builds, we plan tie-down rails or tracks so you have adjustable points to suit different cargo sizes.

  • Slide-Locks and Latches: For drawers or slides, we ensure all latches work properly (many have “lock-in, lock-out” so they won’t slam shut or drift out on angles). We can add extra locks if you want to secure a drawer with a padlock or key (some come with this standard). It’s little details like this that keep your storage solution functional and safe even when bouncing around off-road.

Experience the Convenience

Our customers often tell us that after investing in storage solutions, trips are far more enjoyable. No more 15-minute hunts for an item buried under a pile – they know exactly where things are. Also, the vehicle rides better without loose items shifting (and certainly it’s safer – even a small item can become a dangerous projectile in a sudden stop without proper storage).

We combine our own off-roading and touring experience with competitive insights (like emphasizing how top competitor pages highlight being Perth’s home of everything 4WD, including storage). We know what works in the field because we use it ourselves. If the top guys mention a certain innovative product or approach, we likely have it or something similar, and we’ll incorporate that into your build.

In Perth, we’re fortunate to have endless places to explore. Let us set up your 4×4 so you can bring everything you need, well-organized and secure, for the journey of a lifetime or just the weekend away.
