Car Fridge mounting

[V8Patrol]

Ok so there's been a couple of threads on "which one is better" etc and I have spent the bucks ($700) for my 35lit fridge and am very happy with my little purchase.


So now comes the ugly bit.... mounting the sucker SECURELY in the cab....

I looked at the genuine mounting kit and decided that a bit of tinfoil would be stronger and just as servicable...... ok so I like OVERBUILT !


How have you guys managed to secure your down so it stays put even in the event of a flop ????


After much deliberation and a couple of hours with the welder I have manafactured one "frame" for a specific duty, its a bolt in item that will sit in the back of the car ( yes car not rig at this stage ), and it has 2 spare tyres either side bolted to it....oh, the back seat you ask ...... left hand right shoulder ! This setup is for my new "bash car" I'm currently building.

After the bash is over, I will be using the fridge in other vehicles and its then that these mounting ideas may come into play.....

kingy, i bolted my engel down flat onto my tray in a 110 defender
i removed the bolts holding the feet onto the fridge case,
glued the feet back onto the case with silicone,
then bolted the fridge onto the tray with the bolts going through the base of the tray through the feet into the case.
this has survived the kimberley, tanami, simson, bucks parties at robe , many lrocv daytrips.
good luck on the bash.

I use a couple of urnbuckles, one to a mount on the floor and the other to the cargo barrier. So far it hasn't moved and its been subjected to some pretty horrible corrugations
