Fridge Size?

How much are those per slide? I've heard they're quite expensive for the lock in/lock out version that you need.
A locking pair should run around $100-150. Comparable non-locking versions run under $50 per pair, so designing around the need for a locking slide is worth it where possible. 
$122 for the 32" accurate 9000 slide pair where one side is locking and the other is not. You'll need some angle aluminum a scrap of plywood and some hardware and you're all set for under 200$. You'll have a full extension slide that is much smoother nicer and an extra 100-150 in your pocket had you purchased a commercial one.

That looks great...... Good job
What are the tie down points or latches that connect the fridge to the slide like? Don't want that thing going flying.

Depending on the fridge make/model, you can unbolt the feet and bolt the fridge straight down to the platform (from below). I know this works on all the old-school steel fridges, but I'm not sure on the newer plastic versions.
True, works on an Engel and makes a rock solid mount.

Not to push anyone anymore toward a fridge.. but my father in law put a brisket in to brine, and has to refrigerate it for 7 days.. so what did we do? I pulled the arb outta the truck and plugged it in at an outlet in their garage... these fridges have 100000 uses. Best mod ever.
It works on all the plastic ARB models as well... just unscrew the 4 cushioned rubber feet and a similar sized bolt and washer replaces them in the same location - equally solid mount.
Plastic?
Engel is all metal. No way in tarnation in can be an equally solid mount.
Yes, plastic. You know the same material that synthetic winch rope is made of? You remember, 30% to 40% stronger than steel.
Leave the iron age and join the rest of us in the world of thermoplastics, Methuselah.

for what the wife & I purchased, Engel MT27F-U1 AC/DC is mainly for freezing our meat. We have the 22qt and like it a lot for the size, weight & our intentional use only (freezing meats). The other coolers we bought were the K2 70 & the Canyon Scout which is our go to coolers.
