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 lead to another project. I like the slider, but it's too high to be ideal. I'd imagine I'll eventually redesign my box to allow the fridge slider to be lower. This will work for now.
All closed up
Anchors to box using 10 T nuts
Fridge slide top
Table top (still need to polish)
Tailgate table is still usable
Fridge opening (biggest compromise... Still opens more than when the fridge was in the Jeep)
Had to lose the wiper motor cover to clear fridge when closing glass
