I have had an Engel fridge in my vehicle since 2005 and wanted a solid way to mount the fridge in my 2014 LX so I built a false floor that is mounted to the existing cargo tie downs in the rear. I mounted the floor on top of the carpet, and it is bolted directly into the cargo tie downs threads.
Here is what I used:
- Engel Slide Lock
- 8 guage wire for constant on
- 12v plug
- 3/4" Birch Plywood
- Black Marine Carpet
- 3M Super 77 spray adhesive
- M6 1.0 thread pitch x 2 1/4" bolts for mounting (reused cargo tie loops)
First I used the cargo floor mat to layout the shape and cut out the plywood -
Once the shape was correct and would allow for the right side seat to be used, I carpeted the false floor, added the Engel Slide Lock and mounted the floor -
Here is the fridge installed with the seat up -
Here is the fridge with the seat in action -
I added a dedicated (always on) 12v plug wired directly from the battery with 8 gauge wire -
Hope this helps others wanting to do the same.
Cheers,
Mike
