DIY ARB Fridge mount in JKU

[jp_rey]

Lets try again the previous post got deleted by mistake.

My Goal is to build a ARB Fridge slide for less than the ARB version.
To start the project I was able to get 2 APC Heavy Duty sliding network shelves 250 Lb Capacity.
1 4X8 3/4 inch plywood sheet. cut to 39"x34"
8 2" Angle brackets 4 for each slide.
16 Captive nuts
4 Bolts for Holding the plywood to the floor and 4 fender washers
2 crown tiedown kits
2 Loop Rope bungee cord kits

Total cost $104 in parts. The Slides were free to me, but would be 135 each on eBay. lower for 125lb shelf.

The shelves are designed to be installed in a 19" rack mount so using the Angle brackets to create a short rack mount on the Plywood.

Secured them all down.

Looks very nice! I actually have the ARB slide in my truck but have build 2 other slides using the Accuride heavy duty lock in lock out slides and it is a much nicer setup than ARB at a few bucks less cost.

I would also recommend getting rid of the ARB tie down kit and instead just use the 4 threaded mounting nuts on the underside of the fridge. Drill 4 holes, install 4 bolts and you're good to go. Saves a few bucks on the tie down kit which is a bit awkward I feel.

The accuride slides are also full extension while the ARB are 3/4.
