Got my AirLift air bags installed so I don't sag so much when I'm loaded and hauling my popup. Plus beings I'm heavy on a day to day it helps that too. My paint job alone is 350lbs.

 

Thanks

 

No room between storage and seat. There is very little room between the fridge and seat toward the bottom.

 

I am planning on adding the Front Runner water tank behind the rear seat back and fabricating my own slide for my ARB fridge. If the Fridge slide is low enough, it is possible to fit the water tank by putting fridge on the right side of the cargo area. The lower the fridge sits, the more space you have due to the slant of the rear seat. I have verified this with the real water tank and fridge. So if you can find a fridge slide that makes the ARB fridge sit low enough to the floor of the cargo area and place it on the right side it will work.. The reason for putting the fridge on the right side is to avoid the bump-out in the rear gate on the left side. It probably also means you would have to modify the depth of the drawer unit to make that fit on the left side also. Another possibility is to mount a more square water tank on top of the drawer unit (Front Runner make a few different ones).

In the attached PDF file is a drawing of what I am planning on fabricating.

The drawing have many layers, but you should be able to see the water tank in there.. You might also be able to see that under the Fridge slide, I plan to mount another set of slides for a pull out table. This will allow you to slide out just the fridge, or just the table or both at the same time.. The slides I am using are the same Accuride lock in/out 500lbs as is used in the previous posters fridge/stove slide unit. These slides are also rated for 150lbs when they are place on their side, which should be enough for a small 14"x28" slide out table.
I have then decided to put the Stove vertical on top of the custom drawer unit to act as a partition between the fridge and duffel bags. Above the drawer unit and fridge, there will be a shelf with tie down locations on top and then a place to store a stainless steel table underneath. The table is a modified Front Runner - reduced length from 45" -> 42" to fit in opening of the 2011+ hardtops) I have chosen to use 1lb gas canisters instead of a 5lbs outside the vehicle and the drawer will have just enough height to be able to store the 1lbs canister upright.
Up underneath the hardtop roof there is going to be a storage rack for the toilet and 2 front runner folding chairs. The storage racks are hinged in the back and tilt down in front to allow access.. I then use draw latches to secure the hinged racks in the closed position. This storage rack is being bolted to the brackets for my AEV roof rack. I have started working on this upper storage rack and is about 2-3 weeks from finishing. There will also be a some LED lights thru out the space to provide light.

 

looking forward to seeing the start of this...........

 

Here is what I have so far on the upper storage.
Left side that holds the toilet, including draw latch details:

 

Here is the progress for right side that will hold the 2 Front Runner chairs:


2-3 weekends more and I should have it done, painted and installed.

 

The factory skid is pretty weak.
The owner of the 4x4 shop I work with, who is also a friend, told me:
"I fixed a few damaged canisters. Better move it out of the way, than protecting it in a vulnerable location".
He said it after he moved the canister without asking me, and for no charge...

 

Hey: thanks! Lift, 4" springs in rear, 3 1/4" in front, 37's and MCE flexible fenders.
