The title of this thread is a question, not a statement .
I'm looking to build a cargo slide/tray system that can grow in capability as needs evolve. Initially maybe just for a cooler, but over time more cargo, a fridge, maybe some secure storage, maybe a cargo platform above the sliding parts... not sure yet how advanced I'll want to get.
I'm aware of at least three systems that are on currently on the market:
Frontrunner:
AT Overland Equipment:
ARB:
First question: for those of you who have one of the systems above, how has it worked out for you? What are your favorite features? What additional features or changes do you wish it had?
Next question: are there any others on the market I've missed?
I've got friends at an RV fabrication company, and they currently build slides for RV fridges and under-floor storage for big RVs, so I think I can get whatever slide size/design/features I come up with built pretty easily, which that leads to the final question:
If you were to design the ultimate cargo slide/tray system, what features it have?
I've read through the recent thread on cargo area storage mods, and there are a lot of good ideas in there, but I'm starting this thread specifically about slides because I can get custom slides made up if necessary.
