Thread: My D1 fridge storage solution...

Ply on the base, bolted to the rear cargo points with the barrier.


So far the Lhs is open for recovery kit. It can be reached from in the car or from the rear. Plan is to have duffle bags on top etc



Old bit of melamine made up the slide with a bit of treated pine either side for support. All glued and screwed.

good idea, been wondering whats the best way to fit my 50 liter engel, it will just squeeze in like your but I can keep the handles fitted.

I have found that plastic tool boxes tend to disinigrate after a few hours on a rough track, as does multi layer draw type metal ones, my solution is one of them shallow cheap plastic stackable boxes with lids from K-mart. Most of my tools are in canvas type rolls which act as a cushion for my socket sets, everything is spread over a larger area and the lid keeps everyting in place, when they do break and they eventually will a few $'s will get you another one, Regards Frank.

I'm just decommissioning my second set of rear drws at the moment. I built the first myself from marine Ply. Stood up extremely well for a few
Years. I then bought a waeco cf40 and had to modify for a trip to QLD. That setup worked extremely well till now.
I've just started a major restoration Job on the old girl so will do rear drw setup mark3.

hey can you send me the measure ments of it, im thinking of doing one like it but with a few more draws,

cheers liam

Good looking set-up but do you reckon there's enough airflow around the motor?

It's too hard to see from the pics but I've drilled large holes around the fridge motor and cut a slot in the bench o ver the top between the cargo barrier to allow air flow. There is also a reverse angle where the cargo barrier follows the rear sets which leaves a large air space. But yes it's tight otherwise.

I used the box the fridge came in to cut a template. Don't know the measurements. A fair bit of freestylin with the circular saw was going on

The rhs has a bit of wood from my deck with a 8" bugle screw tying it to a metal lip under the rear window.

nice set up,
i pulled the left rear seat out and mounted the fridge there, easy to get to without slides, but i don't need five seats.

oh, by the way, boags draught is better, but i prefer coopers pale ale.
and put it in the fridge, food isn't all it's cracked up to be.
