Crazie's Draws and slide, modified and installed

Somebody appears to have had a little too much time on their hands... Good job, looks the part.

Will give you a tingle tomorrow re: Sunday.

bugga!

when do we make mine!!!! after last weekend I aint gonna take it again until I got 1.

damn pics not working for me again !! but last time they did work after a few days (go figure).

Cat make much difference ?
who's doing the headers?

cant have you able to outrun me now can i !!

Plans are still on the website too.

Note hinge point behind fridge a little way on vehicle with any sort of rake off vertical on rear window otherwise there are clearance issues.

Note 2 - On vehicle without a tailgate to rest the tilt on like mine, or in a vehicle where the drawer height means too much tilt, use a travel limiting strap like Crazie has.

Note 3 - I'm playing with dividers in the basket to stop the cold tinnies sliding into the space just vacated by the milk.

Note 4 - I've made a velcro strap of the rear door to some self adhesive velcro inside the lid to hold the lid up, but I'm thinking a small gas strut and some rivet nuts might be even better!

Crazie can I add your photos to my project page? And did you use any or all of the drawer plans?

Mate excellent job i'm about to modify mine to something very similar, you have given me an insight to what i should do.

Well done Baz.

I went for a minimalist approach to my fridge/tent/storage solution. I find that in my case the drawer system simply isn't practicable as I have a large southern cross tent which won't fit if a fridge is placed on top of the _Affordable_Storage_Drawers.aspx. Instead, I went for a false floor mounted on a stainless steel frame which is bolted to the rear tie down points on my GQ. A 6mm plywood top is then held in place by 6 1/4 turn dzus fasteners (It helps working in the motorsport industry) My tent, table, chairs etc then fit underneath and the fridge slide I built from some bearing slides someone gave me a long time ago bolted to the Engel sprung transit base. I can then stack 4 plastic boxes with lids next to the fridge which are held down by a simple ratchet strap.
Like Crazie and DJcacher I also hinged the fridge slide, but I custom built some stainless brackets to act as a hinge assembly and I also made sure I have a quick release system to allow the fridge assembly to tilt. This is a pair of stainless rods running down along the base which are spring loaded and which locate in some brackets to lock them in place. For me to unlock the tilt mechanism is pull back the rods and a quick 1/4 turn to unlock the mechanism (about 1 second to do). I've used some stainless rigging wire with some quick release connectors to act as a limiting strap on the tilt angle.
I haven't bothered carpeting the plywood as I need it removeable so the dogs can get in the back and I can remove the whole assembly from the car in 7 minutes. I haven't timed how long to install but it would be around 10-12 minutes maximum.
I haven't anywhere to post pics so am unable to show how I constructed my setup.
Regards Andrew.
