I was originally going to mount the slide in the middle of the cab, but with the addition of the twozone, I did not want to cut out the rear view mirror too much. I also became concerned about the height, and wanted to make sure I was able to get things in and out easily. I was questioning my decision to get the slide as opposed to slide-lok...when the light bulb went off! END RESULT: Mount the slide so that it sides out the door!
It slides out about 4-5 More inches than in this pic...
Easy Loading and unloading now!
It is close but not touching any of the door molding.

I also installed the eyes for the hooks, When I decided to keep the slide. It was real easy, unscrew all four hooks holding the handle in place and place the eye brackets behind the handles. While everything was out I also installed the temperature gauge. I am impressed by the sensitivity of this thing. Just by my body being near it I could watch the ambient temperature change! To install I just took of the back and ran it through the clay. Here's some pics:
Note the temp difference because I touched it to move it...
My Plasti-Dip job, and cutting of the transit bag:
Shot from the Passenger rear door... Under the slide I am going to mount the Cig attachments, and route my A/C cord out so when parked in the garage, I can just hook-up due to the lack of solar.
Some final Exterior shots:
This was all modified to rear platform which later came out when we had our baby. I wanted a rear platform similar to other set ups I had seen in hope that we might have more room for the dogs (1 Husky and 1 Lab), but I wans thinking baby at the time.
It is made from Plywood and covered with the cheapest carpet from Home depot. I was able to use all the existing seat holes to mount the wood, and the rear shelf utilized the existing hole that held the hooks in place.
I was not sure what I want to do with the factory jack, and have actually used it places I could not get the Hi-Jack so it is staying in the truck. I made cut outs and a cover for the rear shelf.
The platform is now removed, and the stock seats put back in for our baby. The fridge and slide will be moved to the bed along with a custom drawer ststem. More to come on that...
