I finished my fridge slide today. After learning what it would cost to have someone bend aluminum for a one off project I decided to go ahead and redesign my project using aluminum angle and plate. Like most things I build this is a tad heavy, but will outlast me. Like most things this will...

What if you set the front up like a roof top tent where it just clam shells open to provide 2x the original square footage? Could be like a mini Ursa Minor J180 out over the hood.

Very nice set up! Question why did you choose to make 2 separate bottom drawers instead of one big one with a divider?

I installed LUX lights under my Jeep, 4 blue, 8 white. They are also wired to the interior footwell lights so they click on when a door is opened or I unlock the Jeep.

I'd love to see that video if you have it. Thanks for your input.

It's already using big sliders, my concern is that it extends out around 74" and that is a long lever arm. This is cheap insurance and it was unused space

I think I've found the appropriate fasteners, flush mount barrel nut. I'd love to find these in steel or stainless, but we'll see once I have the slides, I may have enough room for a traditional nut. Biggest hurdle right now is finding someone to bend the SS for me. Made one more addition...

Added some much needed support to my fridge slider design. Getting closer!

Thanks for the compliments! While I did think about grinding down a nut I didn't think about Jam nuts, thanks for the idea. I'm also considering using a rivet nut/blind nut inserted from the back side, I think this would be the easiest to execute.

Thanks man, I did make the drawer system. If you follow the link in my signature to my build thread I have a lot of photos documenting it. I also redesigned the slide over the weekend using 14ga Aluminum with Stainless Steel Counter tops. I'm currently speaking with a couple metal fab shops who...

Redesigned it today using 100% 14g aluminum with 14g Stainless Steel counter tops. I've reached out to a local fabrication company to see if they can do the bending for me, if not I'll pick up a bending press. The trickiest part is connecting the Accuride 3307 sliders between the middle and end...

Haven't executed it yet, but I've been thinking about a design for my fridge slider/prep surface in my JKU. Due to the custom drawer system already installed and the onboard water tank I don't have enough room for an out of the box fridge slider. Plus it wouldn't be nearly as fun! Today I...

Hood: Recovery Box: Both have reflective red trim as well:

So here it is. I had a chance to draw it up today on SketchUp. I think I'm pretty close on my design. Total added height is only 3" and the table will end up a little wider than in the drawing @ 12.5"x52". I'm using 2x 26" 500lb Accuride 9308 locking sliders for the fridge, 2x 26" 150lb 3308...

You're doing a great job with this. While the fiberglass isn't, the soft frame is completely within my skill set. Would you be ok if I borrowed your idea for personal usage in the months to come? I'd rather buy one, but I know your plans aren't set in stone yet.

Went out to Sunset Cliffs this week to get some family photos. On our way back I snapped a few photos freehand. It was dark and without a tripod they turned out OK at best, I may have to go back and get more.

I don't recall who made them, but I purchased the mount on eBay. However, they aren't listed any more. I understand why people want a holster with retention and I can't blame them for that. Personal preference, I love the magnet mount!

look into a heavy duty rear sway bar. The are cheap, easy to install and from what I've read very effective.

I believe it would still work. Again I had the off brand shown above and it worked with the Tuffy before I stuck a sub under the seat. Now I use a passenger side Tuffy exclusively.

I did something similar using a mount I found on eBay a while back. Instead of a holster I got a cojo gun magnet which holds whatever gun I happen to be carrying. I love this option, the pistol doesn't move, but I'm sure in a wreck it would be less stable than a holster with retention. I've...
