    Mounting fridge in place of backseat

    Hi All,

    I am working on an interior cargo set up for my GU Wagon.
    With most of the previous 4x4's I had to account for backseat passengers (Kids), I am at a stage in life where it is only the Mrs and I now .
    For the upcoming big trip I am considering removing a back seat/seats and mounting the fridge on a frame there.
    Thinking more accessible, especially for the bride, and more space out back

    Have any of you done this, how did it go, have you any pics

    Cheers

    A few here have done it using the old seat base to make a platform for the fridge but I think most put them in the back , I'm sure there was someone questioning the legality of removing seats from the back .

    Ive removed my back seat behind the driver,
    built a platform and itstalled my 40 ltr Engel on a transit base.
    I intend to to hinge the lid sideways as the guy from
    Two Zone gave me a spare set of hinges. Ill need to cut
    and re stitch the transit cover. I can open it and the lid stay upright against the roof
    I love it. Ill grab a picture later,even fits with my half cargo barrier. Disregard that top shelf
    just something I was toying with.
    Ive also installed a LED light on a tilt switch, had it from new since 92, never missed a beat,
    its on most the time but recently been off

    Yes i have a fridge base fitted to the base of a rear seat in my GQ. I didnt make it. I have one for each side and they are awesome. They flip up like the seat does too. Winner.

    I have fitted an optima battery under the base as i have a 24v system in my car for the winch

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Great idea using the factory base so they can fold up too.

    Those bases using the old seats in the GQ look real useful, got me thinking now

    Cheers

    Should I drop my Patrol off to your place so you can do both at the same time?
