ARB Fridge tie down ideas (need HELP) (1 Viewer)

[FirstToy]

I don't have the ARB, but here is my temp mounting solution. I used bungee cords and the floor hooks and seat mounts. For the power I ran 8ga. from my 2nd battery to the rear 12v socket.

The bungee cord will not do it. You need ratchet straps or turnbuckles, etc.
bungee will let the fridge fly and could really mess up your day if passengers aren't wearing helmets

There are four bolts in what ends up as a rectangular pattern. No worries about stability, at least for what I've mounted there. But they are narrower left to right, sort of like this (looking from overhead):

Perfect. Thanks

I don't have the ARB fridge but I would not use bungycord.Have been using turnbuckles and roundeyed shoulder bolts for a few years with absolutely no problems, even on the most corrugated roads

OK I took Christo's advice and used the rear seat bracket holes and cut a 1" x 1" square peace of aluminum tube and drilled holes for the bolts to create a really nice anchor point. If I had more time I would have used turn buckles, but I don’t. I think the ratchet straps will be fine. For the rear I used on of the existing 3rd row seat anchor points to attach the ratchet strap to.

Thanks for all the advice.

Lucky for me that the roads at my local mall are smooth....

We just did an Engel fridge and transit bag and the new bags do not have the sticking in the spot where you cut the slits. Not sure when this change happened.

That sucks. Cost containment?
