Platform/Cargo set up completed

[Grimmjpr]

Finished up the rear platform and cargo set up in my 4xe. Access to the under floor storage and some tie downs. The Fabtech cargo shelf is really nice. ARB 50 fridge and ARB fridge slide.

I'm planning a similar installation, but hope to have a drawer beside the fridge. I noticed that your fridge is mounted on the passenger side where it would interfere with an open tailgate table (TgT). Did you do that to allow the fridge to fit (the hump on the driver's side of tailgate takes up a few inches), or do you not anticipate needing to open the fridge when using the TgT? Or maybe there's something else I'm not considering? I plan to cook on the TT and still want access to the slid-out fridge, so was planning to mount the fridge on the passenger side.

My Dometic CFX3 45 leaves less than half and inch both front and rear mounted on the drivers side so if that cooler is slightly longer it needed to be on passenger side.

I didn't see any way to fit the ARB fridge and ARB slide on the driver side in the 4xe. I didn't want to have to replace the fridge and/or slide to get it to fit. So if I need to I can pull stuff out of the fridge and then lower the table, it's not that big of a deal for me. The ability to store stuff over the fridge while still being able to get to the fridge without relocating everything was more important.

Question: do you have to unscrew the cargo rack brackets when removing the hardtop?

I'd imagine you would probably have to pull it apart and remove it to remove the hardtop.

My $0.02, but anyone concerned with hard top removal should consider the American Adventure Labs MASS Cargo shelf. Mounts to the roll cage and has adjustable height settings. Hands down the most functional interior mod I've done to my Jeep.

Can you still get to the factory jack location under the rear plastic piece with this setup? I'm looking to build something similar but I'm worried I won't be able to pull up the plastic there with a rear platform installed if I needed the jack.

Yes, I built the platform so I can still remove the plastic cover and get the jack and other items I store in that area.

I also thought about access and made this set-up for storage and easy access.
