Just purchased a Waeco 75ltr fridge that just fits into the back of the cruiser for the Kimberley Trip and considered getting a drop down fridge slide. Holy moley they are not cheap for the fridge size. The ones I looked at are over $900.
Looks like I will get some assistance taking it out of the car when needed.

I've never understood why fridge slides are always massive overpriced.
agree totally... great devices, but they'd sell 10x as many at 1/2 the price and their profits would go thru roof...
but as Geoff says, they are fuggin heavy too.. add that to the weight of a full 75ltr... which I'm tipping you wont be moving too often when its full!

That’s what I thought when I moved to a CRUISER from the ‘Trol. Pulled the fidge out but couldn’t open the lid because the top tailgate was in the way. Kinda made the fridge unusable. :'(

I was lucky to have a freind who just bought the 75ltr waeco and we tested it in the back of the cruiser and it fit perfect and access to the fridge was just right.

Why not stack the drawers instead of side by side and put the fridge slide in the recess, try and think a bit laterally :angel:
The draws are not designed to be stacked plus will have a 40ltr fridge on the the side for my medication :cheers:
