Goose Gear Assistance Needed

[Wraith]

Hey everyone, I just placed an order for the Goose Gear JLU rear platform and the Goose Gear Solo fridge slide (standard). My plan is to put the fridge slide on the drivers side, but I need some input on a fridge/freezer to choose. I spoke with Goose Gear and they were not sure which fridge/freezer will fit on the DS specifically as there is less space than the JK due to the angle of the rear seats (which most of us knew). They have not test fit the specific fridges in the JLU with just the solo slide installed so they could not comment on the setup. Folding down or deleting the seats is not an option for me as this is my family rig but I wanted to see what others have done with this setup and which fridge they chose that fits with the rear seats up. I am not intending to do the Goose Gear camp kitchen setup but a rear rack instead for gear.

I have narrowed it down to the ARB Series II 37 qt or 50qt, or the Dometic CFX3 45 but I cannot for certain tell if anyone has done this setup and if it will work the way I intend. The ARB Series II 50 qt from what Goose Gear said will not work with the camp kitchen setup, however the solo slide being much lower has a potential that it will work but they could not say one way or the other. They did state that with the camp kitchen the CFX3 45 works perfectly so it will work with the solo slide. I was just going to make some mock up fridges with cardboard once everything was installed to get a rough idea of fitment, but some solid answers would certainly be helpful from those who have done this already. I appreciate the input. Thanks in advance.

You're kind of our test subject

I have done some research and mounted a fridge in my own GG fridge module. I would not exceed the width dimensions of the CFX3 45 by Dometic. My CFX40 barely fit after I removed the insulator and skid plates. Yet it still rubbed on the slide bolts when I set it in place. You can go taller and possible slightly longer.

Take lots of pictures for us!

Will do! I will be sure to take detailed photos of the setup I end up going with. I wish I could test fit a Series II ARB 50 qt and see how it works prior to purchasing.

This ARB Series II 50qt shows to be 15" wide. The Goose Gear solo fridge slide accommodates up to 16".

Goose Gear tray: 16x28
ARB Series II 50qt: 15x28

That is correct. Dimensionally, the solo tray will fit either fridge brand perfectly as the ARB and Dometic are roughly the same width and length. Height is where they different drastically. The problem most of us have found is the angle of the rear seats and the space on the DS to allow for a bigger unit. I found this post after searching for days online. Looks like the CFX3 45 is 18.74" tall and may be the biggest that will fit on the DS out of the ones I have been looking at. The ARB Series II 50qt appears to be too tall coming in at 20" tall looking at the pictures that I found. What I don't know is if the solo slide has more room to slide the fridge towards the tailgate increasing rear vertical space enough to free up another ~1.5", and how much different the slide in the article is vs the solo slide. Lots of variables here to try and eyeball something. The ARB Series II 37qt has plenty of space as it is 16.9" tall and is plenty low enough to allow for a rack mounted to the back for securing cargo.

if you have a coupon that's about to expire and need to pull the trigger on a fridge I would go with the Dometic CFX3 45 for the balance between dimensions and capacity. I have a feeling GG used the Tembo tusk fridge slide in their design so you might be able to locate additional details for fitment.

I do not, but in another thread the company below was recommended as the cheapest but I have not done a ton of searching for better prices yet. I figured I will save that for once I am certain on which unit to get. Good info on the slide design. I will look into that and if I find anything ill be sure to share it. Thanks!

Are you asking about the solo fridge slide?

Are you asking about the solo fridge slide?

Yes, curious to know your thoughts on the fridge slide. The GG fridge slide is pricier than other brand options so wondering what’s there to it.
