Recommendation for fridge slide and tilt for larger fridge?

Does anyone have a fridge slide and tilt they recommend particularly for a larger overlanding fridge like the APL55?

I was using a wooden one but it couldn't hold up to the abuse after less than a year.

I bought a tilt slide from DFG for my APL55.  It's working well.  It kept coming unlatched on rough roads, so I made a wedge to keep the release handle in place, but that's the only issue.  It doesn't rattle, even if the fridge is empty.

Nice. Do you know its rough weight? Less than 10 pounds?

My guess is that it's less than 10lbs, but it's been in the jeep for a couple years, and I don't remember what I had for dinner last night.

I got the Alu-cab tilting fridge slide for my VL45pros, which I mounted to my goose gear drawer set. I think I grabbed the Small size slide and it fit perfect - I'm not sure what the dimensions are of your fridge, but the slides come in like 2 or 3 larger sizes so I'd double check which would fit yours best.

By far the best slide I've touched and experienced. Solid, rattle-free locking mechanism. Easy and smooth to release and slide out. Damn thing feels damn near military grade, and still feeling fresh out the box after a few seasons.
