    Awesome. I was looking at 75kg or 120kg slides. 120 seemed a bit overkill but 75 seemed a bit light. 90 sounds just right Poor man's drawers and tilt fridge slide

    I had some spare time yesterday so made a start of my drawers/storage, i had some qubelok alloy tube so had a play with some ideas.
    My waeco is 50ltr and unfortunately this means that the shelf will have to be about 60mm above the rear trim level since the slide needs to be lifted to clear the lower tailgate which sits slightly upwards, this is also hindered by the fact that the floor slopes down towards the rear (20mm height difference between tie down points).
    so this as far as i got for now.

    I too found out the false floor for the slide would need to be a bit higher to allow it to slide right out. My floor goes right across and is bolted down to the original tie down holes.
    Under the left hand side there's about 75mm of room which is enough to slide the camp bog and a couple of fold up stools. Fridge (60ltr Engel) is on the right and comes out to the full extent of the slide and the lid just lifts up enough to make stocking it (or Cook getting a beer out for me) quite easy. The slide I'd had for years and I cut a bit out of the width so it didn't take up so much room. Now it's virtually the same width as the fridge.
    2 open areas on the left of the set up which takes plastic containers and a full width top with a gap between it and roof just right for our camp seats and one or two other bits.
    It's open at the second row seat end with just angle across each opening to stop containers sliding forward and rubbing on the seat backs.
    All in all it does the job and didn't cost thousands.
