I have a similar setup. Ensure that you secure the platform to the floor and secure the fridge to the platform. Last thing you want is your passenger killed by the fridge in a head-on.
On mine, I fabbed up some brackets that bolt the platform to the seat brackets
Yes mine is attached to the cargo tie down and hooked on one of those brackets. Two way overrated ratchet straps holding the fridge down. May switch to some cam locks.
Those brackets you made are awesome. I wish I had fab skills/setup. Father in law is getting into welding, so maybe this would be a good project.
i'm thinking about doing this as well, looking forward to seeing your results!
I debated the cover on amazon. $12.00 bucks for the cover! Leather is thick and feels good! I’ll keep you posted!
New steps / sliders. Quite happy
Apparently I drove a little too quickly down washboards for the corroded bolts on the DS exhaust flange downstream of the cat and they finally snapped. Only had to cut the head off of one, new oem gasket and ss hardware from lowe's and it no longer sounds like a civic with a coffee can. I think there's a new cat-back system in my future...
How'd it go installing the ARB awning to the factory rack? You have a write up or anything? Been thinking about doing that for a while.
Finally got around to wiring up the cb.
I have the bior rear bumper with the 4 foot firestik antennae mounted on it. The kit came with an 18 foot cable.
That wasn’t long enough. Needed 25 feet. Ran the cable over the passenger frame rail and I’m still attempting to get through the wire harness in the passenger side.
Suggestions would be helpful at this point. I’m waiting for my tech to give me a hand. The last thing I want to do is @&$) up those wires.
Happy with the connection though.
I also ordered the Ironman foam cell pro and the grill from land cruiser grills.
Trying to get ready for 100s in the hills.

What does the end of your coax look like? Does it already have the PL-259 connector on it. I ran into a similar problem since that thing is huge. I ended up cutting it off running it through and putting a new PL-259 on with a little solder. Pretty easy and I previously had no soldering experience. YOUTUBE to the rescue.
Also that is not the boot I went into. Don't know where that one goes, but I used the one about a foot down and to the left. Can't quite see in your pic.
Bought them like that off ebay for $400! Depo headlights with true HID projectors. plug n play
Awesome! Keep us updated on how they hold up!
My coax is attached. Damn I already cut into that one. I'm going to check it out, hopefully my tech can get it through up there, if not electric tape, and looking for the other one.
Thanks for the heads up.

Feel free to take a look at my tread on routing and installing my CB radio. I did a similar process but ran the coax through the body under the carpet instead of underneath.
DIY: CB Radio Install; Lots of Pics!
I did, very helpful.
I wanted to use the mounting point on the rear bumper instead of on the taillight. Running the cable on the underside of the truck was easier then taking apart the interior, and I was told it would be easier to just run the cable through the above spot.
I must have looked at thread almost 20 times. I spend too much time thinking about these things instead of just doing them.
I guess thats half the fun though.
FWIW I would put a dab of RTV on that wound to keep the moisture out of there. Any old RTV will do if you have it, if you make a parts store run, the Permatex Ultra black will stick and hold up well.
You can get also get through at the firewall at the far PS, and the firewall on the DS.
As @TheForger mentioned, there is a small access plug under the DS footwell near the door sill. You can pop the wire through there and run it under the carpet to the console, or where ever. I did that with some rear light wiring. Just dab some RTV on the plug & wire to seal it up.
Replaced fuel pump yesterday in a church parking lot. I was lucky and had a denso for a spare with me that I picked up on a rock auto close out a while back . Man I owe mr T a big thank you for the design and ease of replacement. I was back on the road in a hour after figuring out it was the pump.
I had been following this thread for ideas. I just posted an updated pic there. Super easy. Anyone mount ARB 2500 Awning to stock roof rack?

That's some rad fabrication, Ramrod. You're much more patient man than I.
