OK, got some L track and got it mounted thanks to @Markuson 's other thread. Was able to reuse the rivnuts on the front (M6 x 1.5") so everything lines up perfectly.

The only catch is that the end caps I ordered don't lie down flush so will probably just grind down the rough edges for a cleaner look.
Also ordered some ARB cargo organizers to keep stuff, uh, organized. Found that these little $10 ammo boxes fit perfectly and are also waterproof so good for fluids and such.

Will get everything packed up and do a show and tell if it comes out like I am envisioning it.

L track is US Cargo Control airline angled type.
I just used the front rivnut as an anchor point since it is exactly in the center of the metal bracing, and then drilled 8 holes (4" on center) for 1/4-20 1.25" stainless bolts and locking nuts. It just seemed like the strongest place to anchor things (I trust a large piece of steel more than plywood) and also provided the widest possible spread for things like fridges. I guess if some extreme force shears the sliding floor off the drawers completely, then all bets are off.

And yes, I will finish the ends at some point. USCG makes matching end caps but they are not as elegant as the Mac's ones and they overlap the front trim so I left them off for now. As with anything, I learned a lot on this attempt so might do it differently next time.
I also generally use nylon straps, but Perfect Bungee's are hard to beat for temporary use as they are a little sticky and adjustable. Choices are good.
Also, does anyone have issues with the bottom trim cracking? Mine were all broken out of the box but I'm not sure if I care enough to ask ARB for some new ones.

@Markuson - looks like you have an Alubox, what size and would you recommend it?
May I ask where you got those hook and loop storage pouches for your ARB drawers? Also the storage on the sides are those attached to the old seat belt bolt holes? Like the organization. That’s what I called dialed in!For those of you who do not have lots of passengers... I am a huge fan of placing the fridge in the second row in one of two configurations.
-Both still allow sleeping in the back on one side or the other.
-Dramatically lowers and centers the weight of a full fridge
-Access while driving & without opening swing-arms
-Massively improves rearward visibility
-No ceiling height issues for fridge door
-Retains full rear cargo area.
Have a look.

PS. This is the National Luna 60L Twin (two compartments with their own thermostat/controls for fridge/freezer, freezer/freezer or fridge/fridge options. Temps shown are in degrees Celsius. It will go as low as -25).

Appreciate the tips! L track is exactly what I need. I’m thinking I’ll add two tracks to the top of each roller topOh, so you have an 80 AND a 200 Heritage AND a bottle opener? Now you're just showing off
The wings, "fit kit", whatever, is super handy and you will be shocked at how much extra gear you can jam along the sides.
2 accessories that I use a lot are "L-track" to hold stuff down (Rollercam straps are great for this) and some kind of packing cubes to organize and de-rattle things. The ARB ones in particular can do the Tetris thing where they fit together with little wasted space - very Aussie (including the khaki color) since you're going that direction anyway.
When installed and loaded properly, the ARB's are nearly silent - enough to let you focus all the other stuff you forgot to tie down correctly.
