Unfortunately no photo but appropriate thread. Mate had his dog mount his Engel. Just saying, it seemed the right thread to post it too.

Awesome Job newmoore. This is probably the 1st mod that I will be doing when I pick up my new Altitude next week. I am not sure that I will need to use one of the rear seats when going away, but the flexibility of this setup is impressive.

Did you look at putting a 4th bolt in the false floor? I am looking at putting my Waeco fridge on a slide, so I think I will need to secure the false floor with a 4th bolt into the back of the 3rd row LHS seat somehow.

Has anyone else tried this?

Finally did it. Cut out some ply using the cargo mat as a template, then used the original bolt holes for the tie down hooks to secure it. With the seat cut out, I used three M6 bolts to hold it down. Bit of marine carpet and done. Later I'll add an extra piece that I can attached to fill in the gap with both seats down.

WOW! That is exactly what I want. I wish I lived a bit closer to you I would have tried to convince you to make a second and sell it to me!

Well, went and bough some marine ply and tie downs. Measured up and got behind a saw yesterday and cut up a floor the same as yours newmoore. Now I just need to sand it and cover it with marine carpet.

Can't wait to get it all sorted.

What are you planning on using to attach the ply down with? This is still on my to do list so if you have any tips on the install would be appreciated

I have removed the three factory tie down points and am going to use M6 bolts. That way I am using factory points so I don't have to stuff around working out how to install other points or weld to the body of the car.

I will try to take some photos soon.

OK. It's done....

Little bit of messing around but its all sorted. Here are some pics

The ply cut to shape..



Sealed and covered with marine carpet..



Bolted down to the rear of my car..



Tie downs on and used an old Toyota rubber mat for non slip under the fridge..



In the car (less the tie down straps but you get the idea)..
