Early Preview - Bed Sliders and Drawers

[AdventureLab]

Here's the updated production version of the slide! Very happy with it.

I am going to try to have it up on the site tonight, but realistically, I still have a lot of non-computer tasks on the docket today, so it may be tomorrow before it's live on the site.

You must have been quick on the draw! That's what happens whey they first sync to the site from the ERP. Should be good to go now. Please let me know if you have any questions.

@AdventureLab . do you happen to know the height of your bed rail system with a slider tray? I’m trying to see if my fridge will fit inside one with my bed cover closed. Thanks

39.2mm from the bottom of the steel BASE rails, which sits flush against the bed surface, and the fridge mounting surface.

Got my order in! Thanks! Each slide comes with two of those dividers? Are the holes across the tops of the two side rails spaced in-line with L-track by chance? Starting to strategize how I'll secure straps for my batteries, fridge and pelicans / cases.

Thanks!! I'm glad this is going to work for you.

Yes, they come with 2 of the dividers per slider.

The holes across the top edges are spaced at 100mm. L-track uses Freedom Measurements.

We have L-track holes (the dogbones) cut into the dividers for this reason. We also put strap slots in the top edge of the dividers for this reason as well. You should be able to position the dividers tightly against your gear and secure with straps connected to the dividers using either the slots or the dogbones.

If you'll notice the L-track cutouts in the dividers are placed immediately above the fastening hardware (M6 bolts with nylon locknuts) for maximum strength.

Made some edits to my post up there but moving them to a new post since you were likely drafting your response.

On the product description, it states the external length is 54.88" long. Didn't this get shortened to~52" or was that internal dimensions?

For some of my gear I want to strap them down from the sides rather than front to back. I'll likely use the holes then and attach some sort of D ring for that purpose. Would be nice if you had strap cut outs at locations along the length somewhere on the arms so that is an option.

For example, my battery has handles on the end and should fit cross wise in the pan.I'd want to secure that to the sides, though I could strap over the top rather than using the handles now that I think of it. However, there are scenarios where you might want to strap a case down and still open it, but secure it from the sides rather than front to back due to the dimensions. Maybe an opportunity for a mounting accessory that gets bolted to the sides!

The dividers are a real nice touch!

Saw on the product description it says 4 dividers. I don't think that was syned up last night when I looked. 4 would be even better if that's the more accurate count!

For the dividers, I have 2 of them setup in the Bill of Materials for the product. Since it did say 4 when you purchased, I'll make sure yours have 4 in them. We'll also make these for sale as separate parts as well so more can be added if needed.

Good question about the length. Yes, we did shorten them to use 52" slides so they could install and remove easier. However, we still have to extend to the front-most BASE rail. The "outside" measurement is from the tip of the slide handle to the bottom edge of the attachment flange in the back. That extra flange was added so the attachment bolts could be easily accessed from above for this slide and the matching drawers (coming soon).
