AirDownGearUp SS1: Drawer, Kitchen, Storage and Sleeping Platform Systems for 250 Series Land Cruiser

Hello 250 Series Owners!

Air Down Gear Up is pleased to introduce our 250 Series Land Cruiser system. As a brief introduction to anyone who may not know us from other vehicle offerings, we specialize in making premium vehicle storage, sleeping and kitchen systems. Our system utilizes an all-aluminum frame mounted directly to the vehicle via a solid, machined aluminum 'anchor bar'. We focus on integrating as cleanly with the vehicle as possible. We want our system to enhance the appearance of your vehicle AND provide a lifetime of high performance.

We created an exact fit system to perfectly compliment your 250 Series. Our system can be configured with or without the integrated, convertible (and patented!) sleeping platform. The sleeping platform is self-supporting and does not impact the 2nd row in any way. You can run our sleeping platform with or without your 2nd row in place.



The drawers feature full extension, ball bearing slides that provide full and easy access to all of your gear. The slides feature a lock-in and lock-out mechanism (an all-metal component for a lifetime of predictable use) to provide safe, rattle free access to your gear. We utilize a particular slide with adjustable stops, meaning there is ZERO noise from these drawers when stowed. In addition to the lock-in/lock-out mechanism, a keyed lock can also be included to prevent unwanted access to your valuables. The drawers contain 100% rattle-free, moveable dividers so you can dial in your storage exactly to your needs.



The drawers are compatible with both our slide out table and the drawer top work surface. The slide out table is a fantastic addition to the system, as it provides a great place to prepare food, stash gear, hold a drink, run a stove, anything you need! The slide out table is quick deploying and can be used with the drawer open or closed.



This system can also be configured with an integrated Dometic CD30 Drawer Fridge. This is becoming a very popular configuration with our customers, as the powered fridge offers enough space for most trips while still providing a flat cargo space above the system for sleeping or other cargo needs. This offers a high degree of flexibility with the system.



What other details can I provide about our 250 Series system?

I'm interested in more detail or pictures of how it works in the second row area. I think you said it can be used with the second row seats, how does that feature function?

Yeah, a little video would be helpful to see how it converts with the sleeping area slideout. Not sure how it's supported over the 2nd row when it's folded down.

Also curious how time it would take to remove the drawer system if I needed to transport some very large items a couple times a year

Here's a picture of the 2nd row area with the sleeper deployed in the 250. This sleeper functions in the exact same way as the 4Runner. The sleeper deploys on a set of heavy-duty slides and is supported underneath by a very simple frame.

We have a more detailed overview video of the 4Runner system, if you skip to 3:50 in the video linked below you'll see more how the sleeper works.

We're a little light on pictures, so i'll have to do my best to just explain this!

The system is secured near the rear hatch with two turnbuckles that can be disconnected in a minute or so, and then attached vehicle-forward with our proprietary 'anchor bar' The anchor bar is solid machined aluminum, and connects to the frame structure with 3 brackets. You loosen the bracket and simply slide the system out.

In the shop we could have this system installed/removed in about 15 minutes.
