And if so, which side did you put it on? Most overlander setups show the fridge on the left, but which the latch mechanism for the tailgate, it gets real tight over there quick. I will also have the 60 split seat down most of the time, so there is more room on the right... BUT, if you have a tailgate table it get sin the way of the slide.

So tell me which side you have it on and convince me of your reasons! Thanks!

Not a dometic or arb but a snomaster. Lose most of the rear cargo area due to the one we wanted but absolutely love it. Plenty of room for our 15lb powertank and 1.5” tow rope still.

Dometic CFX 40 - I have had it mounted on both sides. The Drivers side is tight but fits without impact to tail gate. It leaves the larger folding rear seat section available...but the fridge is wider so you don't get full width. When the fridge is on the passenger side. It just seems nicer when I need access the cargo area but you do loose some room when the smaller rear seat is folded down if you have something long to put in.

I run the ARB 37QT on the driver side so it leaves some room to still cook on the two burner on the tailgate table and have the fridge slide extended at the same time. Still need to cut the lip off my cargo platform to free up access to the jack storage area.

So gonna copy you, which fridge mount is that? I figure it is the 50 but just wanted to check?
The fridge slide is the ARB one that fits their 37/50Q, their part# 10900021. It is heavy, made of steel, and should last a very long time. I am still working on getting the adjustments tuned just right, but have gotten it to be darn close to rattle free. I don't hear any rattles on a day to day basis, but there is enough going on in this Jeep that I'm probably somewhat immune to minor rattles by now. I went with it because it latches in both the forward and back positions, and the latch mechanism is robust compared to some of the drawer slide style latches.

I have the Engel MT45 and I put it on the Left hand side. I also added a Outback Adventures Tailgate Table and I still can Close it. And that tailgate table sticks out quite a bit.

Heres pics pre-table.

The driver’s side. There is still enough room to store some Wolfpack storage boxes with the ARB 50.
