Chasing the best price on a drop down fridge slide, it will be for a 60ltr Engel (yet to be purchased).

As far as I have seen there are expensive drop down fridge slides and more expensive drop down fridge slides. Buy yourself/your partner a step and spend the saving on a bigger fridge and or beer

Cheers Matt

if you dont need the full drop in height you could just get any fridge slide and make it so it tilts when you slide it out. As in, the arse end of the slide lifts away from your floor 4-5 inches. seen it done. Works well. Otherwise I cant help.

This.
I ran a 110 Waeco in the back of the GU, too tall (after 3" lift and 35's) for he wife to get into easily.
On top of the drawers on the Rh side i strapped a couple of milk crates with spare bits and pieces etc.
Made a good step when we were stopped and camped.

What's the go Mosko, posting in the tech forums? I thought you only stirred things up in the rocky forum.

I can send you a pick of the drawer set up I did in my 80 if you like. It worked well with the 60l engel and didn't need to use a drop down slide even for shorter people. I will be doing the same set up for my next one.

I've changed my ways! Lol

ATM I already have two draws in the 80 (came with it) so the height has already been raised 350-400mm (at a guess)
If you don't mind sending through some pics that would be awesome! Might just change things up if its easier.


Can anyone tell me the going price for a drop down fridge slide?

I looked at these before and I'm not a fan.
They're big, chunky, abit awkward to use, plenty of spots to catch a finger and fark they are heavy! :shock:
Sure, you're not going to be swinging it around all day, but it's alot of unnescessary weight, especially once it has a fully loaded 60L Engel on it being thrown around in the back of your truck.

I'd have a look at an ORS fridgeslide and as said, get a small collapsable stool like this that'll fit down the side.http://www.offroadsystems.com.au/fridge_slide.html

They are plenty strong enough for the job, but farken heavy and as you say full of guillotine points just waiting to cut little fingers off.
