Wing kit vs. Custom-Cut 4x4 Drawers

Wing kit vs. Custom-Cut 4x4 Drawers

If you’re looking to maximise your 4x4 ute’s storage space, you may want to consider installing a ute drawer system 

However, when it comes to drawer systems, there are a lot of options available to you.  

The biggest question you will have to ask yourself is whether to opt for a DIY wing kit or getting a drawer system custom cut to your specific vehicle.  

Let’s compare the two options.  

What is a wing kit?

A wing kit is a do-it-yourself 4x4 drawer solution. Wing kits let you store tools, camping gear, equipment and more. 

Generally, wing kits are sold in a single size that will fit most dual cab ute trays. Wing kits can be installed at home and often come with all hardware required for installation – all you need are some tools and a bit of knowhow.  

However, these systems are usually carpeted, so are usually best suited for utes with canopies and may not come with any warranty.   

What is a custom cut 4x4 drawer system? 

Unlike a wing kit, which is one size fits all, a custom cut drawer kit is – unsurprisingly – custom cut to your specific vehicle.  

DECKED, for example, makes ute drawer systems custom cut to most popular utes, including: 

Like wing kits, a DECKED system can be installed easily at home, and are perfect for storing everything from tools, camping equipment, fishing gear – even beers!
