Can anyone tell me if there are any tricks when it comes to fitting a fridge slide to a Hilux 2006 SR5 with a tub liner.

Cut a sheet of ply to fit
the tub and bolt the fridge slide to that.

Does the ply lift when you slide out a full fridge?

Not if it is a tight fit like suggested below.

I cheated a bit and just cut a base out of ply for the whole floor in the back and bolted my fridge slide (and the second battery box) to that.
The board is a snug fit, which I haven't bolted down at all. But seems to stay in position without any worries as I have the fridge in there the whole time, along with the battery, a heavy toolbox, socket set recovery bag etc etc so it doesn't move around at all.
That way I didn't have to worry about drilling holes in tray for the fridge slide in the right spot so it doesnt fowl up anything under it.

I left
the tub liner in, and put the ply on top of it.
No problems with it so far!
