    Mounting the fridge right behind the front seat with access from the rear doors?

    We did exactly that on our Global Expedition. Took out the 40 of the 60/40 back seat. Made a base and mounted the Engel back there. The base became a storage area and location for the safe. I could reach back there when co driver was driving and grab a cold water when outside was 120 degrees...

    The Adventures of a Land Rover TReK Discovery

    congratulation Matt - thats a great vehicle. As noted above I would put in a Plywood floor (I have the dimensions of the CT ones) and bolt all your "mods" to that. You can also add drawers that way as well.
