Real Customer Builds, Practical Layout Ideas

See how Jeep owners use American Adventure Lab storage platforms, shelves, drawers, and mounting systems in their own vehicles. These examples show different ways to arrange a cargo area, from a fridge slide in a Wrangler JL to a complete Gladiator bed setup.

Start with a vehicle like yours, then check the linked product pages for fitment, installation requirements, and included components.

John’s Sting Gray Jeep JL

Focus: Fridge-slide layout.

John’s setup pairs an AAL Flat Slide with a Dometic CFX3 55IM. Use this example as a starting point when planning space for your refrigerator and slide.

Confirm the dimensions of your refrigerator, the slide’s usable tray, and the clearance needed to open the lid before choosing your configuration.

Will the Same Parts Fit My Vehicle?

Check each product’s fitment for your vehicle, door count, and configuration. A customer photo documents one setup; it does not establish compatibility with every vehicle or show everything included in a purchase.

Where Can I Find Installation Instructions?

Use the Instructions Library to search by vehicle, part number, product, or system. Review the instructions before ordering, especially when combining platforms, drawers, shelves, and slides.
