Thread: D3 Fridge Sliders

Pretty much your slider of choice. If you don't use the Engel slider, Dolium have a few different sizes in the same style of relatively heavy plate. The Waeco slides can fit, but are a lot lighter in construction. I am pretty sure the big 4WD groups such as ARB and Opposite Lock will have options as well.

The issue with the D3/D4, is the cargo area floor, or more to the point, the tailgate. The tailgate slopes upward from the floor, and this does mean you will need an angled base under your slide, or put in a full floor, raised at the rear, so the slide does not dig into the tailgate, when extended out.

A lot of recent posts on this one. Search for D3/D4 drawer setups, and you should find some good reading.

I use a slider from ORS - Off Road Systems - it's on a "base" of 15mm ply to raise it the little bit so it doesn't foul on the tailgate ... the fridge slide is very solid and works great

It's a very neat job, does the base go under the barrier and attach to the floor somewhere?

Yep - long stainless bolts go right through the "base" and the floor and are held by "captive" nuts. All very solid. When I remove it I just end up with four small holes in the floor (not a problem).

Sorry - I just re-read your question .... the base (floor) is held in by three bolts - one at either side at the rear lip and one at the front - the cargo barrier is entirely independent of it. Hope that's clear ...
Look back quite a few pages and you'll find my original post - "off road equipment" ... it'll clear up any questions you may have (I hope)
cheers
