The Un-Deleted Rear Seat - Custom Fridge Platform DIY

[Toytech01]

I am in the process of setting up my LonePeak Camper and didn't want to take up too much of my bed space with a fridge. I also didnt want to commit to a 60% rear seat delete. I have the factory under seat security storage boxes so I removed the lid on the passenger side and started cutting some cardboard templates. The platform that I came up with still allows for access to the factory jack and the factory passenger storage, when the fridge is pulled out.

The platform uses the 4 factory seat mounting locations with the front 2 bolts being replaced with a bit longer ones. It is supported on the front side by the factory storage box with an additional brace in the center.

The fridge is the ICECO VL45 ProS and will be wired to my 300ah lithium battery. I can pull the fridge out in about 30 seconds and the rear seat can still be used as normal. No loss of leg room.

Win, win I think!

Nice work! I love to see original ideas that are functional and well thought out.

I appreciate that. It has held up great so far. This design just gives me options and more space since the JT has a tiny bed. That is why I went with a LonePeak camper over other options because it has a ton of space.

That is very slick!!!! For people like me who still need to use the rear seats when not wheeling this makes a lot of sense.

This gives me hope that I can both get a 12v fridge/freezer AND my dog in the back. (he's small).

 

[Toytech01]

This was our exact scenario. Small dog on the 40% side with fridge on the 60% side but still be able to use all of the seats if needed. I will still be able to secure the fridge in the bed while running if we need all of the seats.

Great job, Kudos.

Great Idea! The only mod I’d recommend is trimming back your base platform where you have the forward facing fridges tie downs to avoid ankle damage when the seat is in the normal people hauling position. That area where you step into the back seat is very tight, especially with my big feet.

This current version actually has been cut back as far as I felt comfortable while still providing good access. There will not be many people ever riding back there but I can get in and out with ease. It might look tight but it really isn't for a back seat.

Love transformers.

Same situation here. I don't want to lose the rear seat, but also want it in the cab to save space in the bed. I've got a Lone Peak as well, and I'm hoping to get the ICECO APL35 soon. I've got a build out in the bed, but I don't want a big fridge to take up even more space.

I had a similar thought, but will most likely use yours idea as a start! Nice work!

Awesome job! Simple but highly effective.

Thanks for this info. We are setting our 25 up for back road exploration across the US. This is a great idea and the pictures are very helpful.
