Interior Storage Options / Show and Tell

[TEAMSLO]

I have two AAL Packout brackets on my shelf too. The boxes don't fit super snugly to the bracketas I'd have hoped. I've got a strap, snugging them down to the shelf, but I am wondering what others are doing if their boxes rattle too.

Somehow I must have bent the packout AAL brackets slightly to where you have to shove the packout in to get it to latch, no rattling.

If I do get a rattle, I'd probably line some areas with a few rows of painters tape to fill some space in.

Posted in another thread but since last post here, added a third drawer and fridge/slide.

Hopefully you see this. But how do you like the fridge slide with the tailgate table? You feel it interferes? I have an arb fridge that won’t work on the drivers side.

You certainly can’t slide the fridge out with the table down. Separately they both work fine. If you’d like to have the table down with the fridge slid out for prep, this setup wouldn’t work.

Thanks, you find it an issue? I was bummed my fridge wouldn’t fit the other side. But I guess the change the pitch of the rear seat.

This is why my Dometic CFX3 45 is mounted on the drivers side. It is very close to rear seat and tailgate but I made it fit even with a tailgate table.

If I didn’t already have my 50qt ARB I would get one that worked better. Oh well will figure it out.

There's a upside and downside to both configurations. If you put the drawers on the pax side, opening the drawers will interfere with the tailgate table or whatever is on it. At least with the fridge on the pax side, it can be removed from the vehicle while in camp and be accessed while using the tailgate table. However, if you have a campstove on the tailgate table and need to access the contents of drawers on the pax side, there's not alternate plan.

American adveture lab has a solution w noncompromise.
My doemtic is on left w slide out plus a slide out drawer beneath thatbfor stive or whatever. Drawes on right. They can be open and do not interfere with thebtailgate table.

maybe I need to raise the 50qt and see if it changes anything but I think it’s dimensions and the seat pitch will cause a problem. Wasn’t an issue on my JK.

So, can you have a stove and stuff cooking and open the drawers? I'm considering a AAL setup and want to get it so I can store things and access them while cooking on the tailgate.

There are numerous brands and solutions out there for storage drawers, cook tops, fridge slides, etc. Depending on your use case and goals will dictate the route you go. If you want AAL, make sure your fridge and their slides/drawers are compatible together, and determine which side (Drive or passenger) you're able to have the fridge on. If you want to cook on your tailgate table while being able to have access to your fridge, you'll want a setup where your fridge is on driver side. If your cook station will be on the driver side, vice versa. Think of how you camp and what your system of operations is before pulling the trigger on a setup. If you already have experience with cooking/camping out of your Jeep then you likely have a good idea of how you want things laid out. For example, if you cook primarily on a Skottle (like I do) or similar then your setup will differ from someone who's stove is integrated with their drawers/slids.

Side note: not sure your stance on it but utilizing your favorite robot assistance can help a lot when it comes to exploring solutions, compatibility, etc. It's helped me with this rabbit hole of which way to go and I still haven't committed to a path.
