Then use a 2x6 instead of the 2x4 that I used. That's what I had for almost a year. But I had to redo the platform and lower it to fit the fridge.

Here is the platform with 2x6:

Looks great. Where would one but some aluminum channel, platform material (plywood?) and fasteners like that?

It's called extruded aluminum, or T slot.

The original and official site is www.8020.net

However I highly recommend you use the alternative guys at www.tnutz.com .... Half the price.

Love what you did here. And using the Creform makes it easier to assemble I bet. And to change if needed. Pros and Cons?

Just price. The actual aluminum bars were pretty cheap. Where they get you is all the fasteners..again tnutz.com for the win.

I think i have about $300, maybe a tad more tied up in it but worth it.

Here is a pic without all the junk...

I just finished building a platform for my Setpower PT55 fridge and slide. I got inspired by some of the builds on this forum, but I'm limited in what I can build both in terms of knowledge/experience, and tools. One trip to HomeDepot and I was able to make this in about 10 hours.

The most important thing for me was to make sure all my camping gear fit, and that I could use the bottom for a 4 ft camping table while still having access to the storage compartment under the floor. And lastly, I had to make sure the fridge lids open fully while on the platform.

Here are the results:

Fully loaded:

This is how I secured the platform to the floor so that it won't tip over when the fridge is extended. Credit for the idea goes to a Bronco6G member whose name escapes me now.

That looks great!

Sorry, I don't understand your question. Look at the first picture. Does that help answer your question? There is a 4 inch space between the floor and the fridge. That is enough to grab all my tools from there. I use a bottle jack, so I removed the stock one from the car. The jack was the only thing that was hard to get out.

Also, if you look closely, you will see that I made two cuts on the trunk mat along the storage lid, that way the rest of the mat will be put while I open the storage compartment.

Which bottle jack do you have?

I just finished this Friday.

Only thing I don't like so far is it's a bit noisy on a rough road.

The white/grey/black theme is to match the graphics on the bronco. I left the fridge slide raw because I figured that thing is gonna get moved around all the time and will scratch it up no matter what I do.

I like this DIY storage option with the extruded aluminum bars. What do you use for the surface area? Does it fit within the channels and only supported on the edges?

Yeah...by the time I was looking for a piece to make the shelf, I was tired and had spent a bit more than I had planned. So I just did the home depot "let's see what I can find". In my case I found that 2 layers of standard peg board fit perfectly in the slots (I use the 1.5" extruded however instead of the 1 ").

Eventually I added a black, non-skid self-stick mat which replaced the rubber black matt you see.

That is AMAZING
