Deck Plate (Still for sale)
Aluminum (raw 6061) deck plate and complete mounting bracket kit for secure multipoint attachment to vehicle body hard points (I use all ten available hardpoints so this thing is bomber). Why aluminum? High strength/weight ratio, superior attachment of threaded fasteners for secure mounting, corrosion resistant and immune to water damage/mold. Feel free to coat with your own choice of liner (Line-X, truck bed liner, etc.) or leave natural. Deck plate has genuine PEM press-in inserts for secure mounting of the slide system. Next to the slide system are two aircraft track rails for secure tie down of your gear. These are sized to fit FrontRunner Wolf Pack storage containers and many other common storage options. You can also add your own threaded inserts later if you decide to reconfigure the passenger side for drawers or something else.

Fridge/Stove Slide System (Sold)
Aluminum construction and stainless hardware. I overdesigned this to be exceptionally strong and stable when fully extended. Most slides on the market are disappointing to me how flimsy they can be so I designed this one to fix that. The downside to this extra beef is a little extra weight. It is about 15-20 pounds heavier than it could be but I accept the tradeoff. The fridge platform is set up for the ARB 50 but can fit most similarly sized fridges. What size fridge will fit? 26.875" fridge length flush at the base, ~28" fridge length (ARB 50) fits perfectly in the 5th gen 4Runner. Currently has holes for permanent mounting of the ARB 50, but can also use the ARB Fridge/Freezer Tie Down System with integrated footman loops. Footman loops can secure most other fridges as well. (Fridge not included with this system) The stove drawer fits the AT Overland custom edition "JK" Cook Partner 2 burner stove. This stove is the same 18" stove but with the controls/supply on the side and can only be ordered through AT Overland. The drawer has an attached wind screen that can also be used as a flat surface/table when folded flat. The drawer also accommodates room for the supply hose/regulator and two "Coleman" gas bottles with included buckle straps for secure stowage. If you don't want the Cook Partner stove, the drawer will just act as a regular drawer and I can remove the wings from the wind screen so you still have the flat surface or I can remove the wind screen entirely. The slides are genuine Accuride and come with left and right locking levers. They also lock in the "opened" position so your dinner doesn't slide around while you are cooking it. (If that is happening, you might have some other issues to look into)

Installation
I will install for free if you drive to my house near Austin, TX. This should fit any 5th gen 4Runner but I can't guarantee it because I haven't torn down every year and version (SR5, Trail/TRD, Limited, 3rd row seats, slide out cargo tray, backup parking sensor, etc.) but I know it fits the 2013 Trail with slide out cargo tray. That being said, it isn't hard to remove the factory cargo floor and check to see that the hardpoints are in the same spots. Just send me some pictures of the cargo area and I can confirm.
Note that if you plan to run a fridge, it would be wise to run your electrical prior to installation of the deck and slide system. Wiring is obviously not included but I can give you some advice on how to do it. I would also recommend to buy a roll of your favorite sound damping material and we can put that in during the install.

Why am I selling something I put so much time into designing and fabricating?
This is my prototype and it worked out very well for several years of use. I have now modified my design slightly to add drawers, a sink, water tank, pump, etc. The new design needed different modular mounting locations on the deck plate and thus is incompatible. There is nothing broken or damaged about this system. But it is a prototype and the aluminum is unfinished so it scuffs and scratches as you load gear. If you don't like that, there are many coatings available or you could glue down some marine carpet. The sales price is fair and reasonable. I will be losing money on the deal but such is the way with prototypes. My design isn't set up for mass production, rather, optimized for the tools and equipment I have readily available (fasteners and brackets vs. sheet metal bends or welds). This lends the system to be somewhat field repairable and if you ever have an issue, I can work with you to figure out a solution.
