I needed a storage solution for my tub, but I also want the tub to be available if I need it.
Now I can swap this modular design in just a few minutes!

Excellent idea, I'm thinking of doing something similar but using a single channel at the back of the tub to lock the board in against the head board and 2 adjustable turn buckles to hold the tailgate end down from the cargo tie down points

Cheers mate 👍 I'm thinking on how to redo the tailgate end myself, turn buckles might be the way to go

Hey great channel ! Dumb question here..much like you I dont want to have any 'perm fixtures' in my XLT tub and need to use a tub rack to place an rtt. The thing is, given the space required for a fridge and sliding drawer it does not leave much space especially the way the shutter roller is installed. Would you remove the shutter roller and store more stuff in the space between the fridge top, the drawer and the tub rack top? Just wondering how to secure equipment stored there

@Mundzilla Жыл бұрын

Awesome mate, love it. Looking to do exactly the same in my Ute. Can I ask, what was the clearance between tub liner & roller shutter originally? What height is the fridge you got and how much height does the slide add? Cheers, and keep em comin! I've just subscribed

@Shenanigans4x4 Жыл бұрын

Hey mate, Cheers for the sub! I have the same clearance as with the tubliner in the end I don't have the measurements on me now but the slide adds around 20mm, and I have over an inch of clearance on the top of the fridge Thanks for watching 👍

@benrobertsdj6960 2 жыл бұрын

Hey mate, loved the video. Did you use the 60L titan fridge slide here? The 50L slide doesn't seem to be available on 4wdsupacentre anymore. Cheers

@Shenanigans4x4 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks mate 👍 glad you enjoyed it! Had a look at the site and couldn't find the one I got, only the 100L/large one I think it's the 60L/small slide The internal dimensions are 475mm x 745mm if that helps

@roocrew86 2 жыл бұрын

Thats neat mate well done I am thinking of doing similar but putting nutserts into the tub for 4 bolt mount for draws 4 bolt for fridge Way simpler but is the wood removal much quicker?

@Shenanigans4x4 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks mate! I originally thought of nutserts too, but with the drawers you have to remove the whole top and pull the drawer out to access the bolts Just 2 hands bolts on the front and she slides out easy Sometimes when you need the tub you might not have much notice

@JPGordon123 2 жыл бұрын

Awesome job mate. I have the Wildtrak and have been wondering how to get a fridge under the roller shutter on a slide. If only there was a 4wd shop that offered a productized version of what you've put together!

Did your roller shutter leak water, If it did what did you use to stop the leak and where. I’m looking at doing a setup similar to this on my ranger but I need to stop the leaks

@Shenanigans4x4 2 жыл бұрын

Hey mate, as far as I've noticed I only get a little trickle where the tub meets the cab Sticking my head up there it looks like there's some pretty large gaps that I'll probably fill in with expanda foam once I run some wiring through there It's not really enough to worry about but better with no leaks

@wyrdplae8586 Жыл бұрын

would it not have been an idea to devise a way to mount the whole thing on top of the tub liner and just seal each bolt? I feel like when I do mine I'd rather have it so that if water gets in there it doesn't get to the metal of my bed. I think you have a cover so you don't expect it to get wet? Even though I have a canopy it seems like a better option to do it in a way that doesn't remove a bunch of protection from the bed. Especially since the idea is that this thing gets removed from time to time. Like the idea though.

@Shenanigans4x4 Жыл бұрын

Hey mate, you're right I could have left the tub liner in, but with the roller cover restricting height I needed just that little bit more I haven't had any issues with the small amounts of water that get in as the tub is designed to drain already. Cheers for watching 👍

I don't understand why you would cut out the tub liner and the drill holes through your floor to put in a false floor for a draw system

@Shenanigans4x4 Жыл бұрын

Height limitation from the roller cover is why I cut the tub liner A false floor can be floating but I wanted a more sturdy base to hold up on 4x4 tracks Plus both sides can be swapped out in 10 mins if I need the space Cheers for watching 👍

Beat you to it 😂 It's holding up really well apart from the capping rail, need to find a better solution to hold it on I'd be keen to see what you come up with mate 👍

@michaeloag1728 Жыл бұрын

Same day reply, you’re a true blue legend. Yeah originally I was planning to just butt it up against the tailgate but my mechanic doesn’t like that idea. I’m going to try drilling holes through the side rails and ply and put 20mm bolts in to stop it sliding out. I’ll probably do a video and reference you in it when I do anyway 🤙
