Onboard fridge freezer dilemma

[Boomer82]

Ok so I’ve ran into a little problem with my build...

My plan was to put a diamondback locking cover over my bed and mount the bed rack to it. Problem is, my 04 Tacoma bed is only 16 inches tall which means I can’t fit most fridge/freezers with the cover on, especially mounted to a slider rack.

Anyone run into this issue already? How much height does the slider mount typically add?

Trying to decide if spacers around the bed walls would work and how tall I’d have to make them. Thanks guys!

Similar situation here. 2015 Tundra crewmax. I measured from bed to tonneau cover about 20.5 inches. Need an inch or 2 for slicer base so I need to find a fridge <19 inches. Hoping there are some good recommendations here.

The ARB Elements fridge is 17.1" high.
The Dometic CFX 35 is 16.2" high.

I am literally fighting the same thing right now. I have a Smittybilt fridge that is 20" tall and that kills a lot of space in the back of my bronco. Can't get it mounted on top of drawers because it is too tall. As others mentioned, Dometic and I believe Engle have some shorter fridges.

Not so complicated, I build a fridge slide with box and I'm 18" high, without the box and the rails on the side and not under the fridge I'm easily under 16“ just look for a different style of the fridge. Mine is pretty small, it's a Primetech 28L fridge.

Yeah, prob is, I got a hell of a deal on a dometic CFX95dz which is 18.5 inch tall, plus the slider. Small fridge won’t really work for us anyway. I think I’m just gonna have a custom camper shell made and call it good.
