Just went a different route altogether. Gave up the second drawer for now to see if I can live without it.

ARB is currently in the 4runner. I was shifting it back and forth and TBH got tired of that and bought an inexpensive Iceco for like 400ish dollars. Yes, the lid on the Iceco is a little wonky. It seales the lid just fine so I have not screwed with it. That ARB is roughly 13 or so years old. The thermistor went out on it a few years ago and ARB sent that to me and I repaired.Curious why not using ARB anymore ? I have seen alot of that vintage arb for sale lately.
Your lid seal looks wonky in the current set up pic ?
Excellent. Glad you shared this. My fridge slide needs some of this same kind of love.OK, the beauty is the simplicity. I determined the point of contact was the slide rail and the front bearing of the slide frame. I stuck a couple felt furniture foot pads on the slide rail to cushion it agains the bearing. 90% of the noise gone. Been running it for a few days.
I’m going to look for some thin rubber with an adheasive back and try that applied to the actual bearing. Right now it’s pretty easy for the bear to scrape the felt pad off the slide rail.
But so far this is working to my satisfaction. For the record I also have extra foam padding behind the slide to fix the front to back rattle.

what cargo/ dog stoper!! is that lolI just installed the Alu-Cab #2 size tilt slide with a National Luna twin 60. The slide rattles like hell. I can hear it over my stereo at max. I added some thicker foam to the back of the frame and that took care of most of the front to back movement. But side to side is the real problem. I’m currently waiting on a return email from Alu-Cab. They said they might have a solution but needed to know the size first.
I also had to put 3/4” wood spacers below mine to get the geometry of the tilt to work for my application. My platform is 13” off the floor of the truck and extends flush to the closed tailgate.
The reason for the split height platform was for my prior fridge set up which was a 45 liter Engle on a standard slide. That worked for many years but now on 4” lift & 37’s I could not longer see in the fridge. Finding stuff by braille sucked.

Thank you for this. My alucab is wonderful except for the rattling. I’ll have to run to home depot tomorrow to hunt some pads down.OK, the beauty is the simplicity.
