Scott Brady was the first to use it. He seemed to like it while driving across africa
Looks good!
His was a little different, I think the cargo area side of things was more or less the same but was modified to fold out and fill in the back seat area to make a sleeping platform. But it's a part of the reason I'm so interested in it with his thoughts on it during his Africa trip, and I've been more than happy with everything else I've got from Frontrunner!

Sounds very close to my system. The fridge is removed and a drop in shelf is bolted in. As a full platform the metal edging is hidden by foam mats and a sheet of carpet. Drawer is on Teflon like runners. Fridge slide is 'slideitsolutions' I have a 36L water tank behind the drawer system. It sits slightly proud and lines up with cargo barrier. Front runner boxes fit perfectly on top of drawer. Double stacked, they are close to same height as my bushman fridge. Ideally I want a shelf just above these but next purchase will be the kaon molle panels and higher shelf. Maybe another shelf could be attached to molle panels. Will wait and see.
How would you mount this to the track? Using some track insert with threads on them and screw it in?For further info, the fridge slide I'm looking at is the Dometic/Frontrunner item for the CFX3 55IM (already have the fridge).

The platform depth of the storage system is long enough for this (25mm longer than the slide assembly). My idea was that I'd mount the slide to the storage system using the T-slot on the left and rear (front when at the back of the vehicle) which would give 30mm clearance at the front (rear of the slide) to clear the angled back seat.
With the slide being designed for the Dometic CFX3 55 there is 4 mounting points for the fridge in the slide (though the bottom) so you don't have to use straps through the handles to tie the fridge to the slide, though I'd like to use them as well given the corrugations I often drive on, worst case I may have to remove the rear handle to clear the seat and only use the front handle to put straps thorugh for additional security.
The storage unit is assembled with M6 nuts/bolts slid into the T-slot, fridge slide mounting holes are also M6 so should be pretty straighforard.

Extrusions aren't cheap! And unless you have the cutting equipment you'll be left going to a 3rd party for it, Bunnings won't get you the required accuracy... The price is pretty good if you factor in material/tool/time costs.
No... Not even in stock not their site, if anyone knows where I can get one, let me know!
That is an excellent idea - prefer it to drawers!
I'd ignore the "precision" of the above measurements.They are most probably the results of a 3D scan.
Has Frontrunner been acquired by IKEA?
