Having a fridge in the truck is flippin amazing. We have had this ARB Fridge in our FJ Cruiser for well over a year now and I have to say, camping and road trips are so much easier and enjoyable not having to worry about ice. That said, I decided to get it installed in the 4Runner on a slide with the ARB mounting straps so that I can move it between the two vehicles quickly and easily.
I figured this was going to be a quick and easy drill some holes install. However, I was very wrong. The mounting holes for the slide lined up perfectly with everything that either I didn't want to drill through (seams and welds) or that I simply couldn't make work. After about a million careful measurements, I decided that It would be best to build an adapter out of 3/4 inch Birch. Here is how it went down:
All in all, everything turned out well. and the slide works great. Even better yet is the fact that I can look in the rear view mirror and clearly see the temp gauge of the fridge reflecting off the rear window. Since it is two reflections the numbers read correctly and clearly. If anyone would like to mount their fridge in the same fashion, I am willing to share my measurements for all holes drilled.
Resurrecting an old thread. Do these slides come with bolts? mine didn't. Can someone share with me the bolt/nuts specifics?
