Fridge Console FAQs

Yes, absolutely. Our products are supplied with fitting instructions (most are also available on our Fitting Instructions page), and support via email or over the phone.

Our Full Length Fridge Console is available for the 79 Series Single Cab (2016+ only), 79 Series Dual Cab (all models) and 76 Series Station Wagon (2009+ only).

The Bushman 15L Roadie will just slightly touch but not press against the rear bench seat.

Important: the Bushman 15L Roadie does not fit between the factory seats on most 70 Series models. We originally modified our standard Full Length Floor Console to incorporate the Bushman 15L Roadie for a vehicle we equipped with RECARO seats. RECARO seats (and some other aftermarket seats) have more space between them, allowing the 220mm wide fridge to be installed. We do not offer installation of this product for vehicles with factory seats installed — we only offer installation for vehicles with RECARO seats installed, or for vehicles we are installing RECARO seats in. We have not modified the factory seat positions to allow for the Bushman fridge width and are not able to offer any advice on whether or not this is a viable option, or whether it can be engineered.

Compatibility reference:

• The 2016+ 79 Series Single Cab is the only 70 Series model with sufficient width between the factory seats to fit the Bushman 15L Roadie
• The 76 Series Station Wagon and 79 Series Dual Cab do not have sufficient width between the factory seats to fit the Bushman 15L Roadie
• This product is not suitable for the 78 Series TroopCarrier, 75 Series TroopCarrier, pre-2016 79 Series Single Cab or 75 Series Single Cab models

For customers with factory seats installed: this product is installed in the 2016+ 79 Series Single Cab without any modifications or seat adjustment. For 79 Series Dual Cab and 76 Series Station Wagon owners — the Bushman Roadie 15L is 220mm wide. The total width between the factory seats in the 79 Series Dual Cab and 76 Series Station Wagon is 190mm. If you would like to install this product but do not want to upgrade your factory seats, there may be a way to adjust the position of the factory seats — you will need to consult an automotive engineer and steel fabricator.

For customers with aftermarket seats installed: most aftermarket seats (e.g. the RECARO seats listed below) have a much wider gap between the seats compared to the factory 70 Series seats. In most cases, you will not need to adjust the position of your aftermarket seats to allow for the width of the Bushman Roadie 15L. If you are considering purchasing aftermarket seats, contact the manufacturer/distributor and check the gap between the seats will allow for the width of the fridge — it's 220mm wide, so a gap of 230mm or more is ideal (5mm clearance both sides). The following seat models have a sufficient gap:

• Recaro Expert Range (S, M or L) — without armrests
• Recaro Specialist Range (S, M or L) — without armrests
• Recaro Cross Speed Range (S, M or L) — without armrests
• Recaro Cross Sportster Range (S, M or L) — without armrests

Yes, the front accessories facia is angled for visibility and ease of operation. Compatibility varies depending on UHF model due to space and airbag/sensor positioning. We are an authorised GME dealer and can supply/install compatible units.

GME TX3520 — the remote face of this UHF will fit in the front facia (we'd suggest on the passenger's side). The body of the UHF can be fitted inside the console close to the back. We'd suggest fitting a GME SPK-07 extension speaker as the speaker in this UHF is in the body of the radio (which would be muffled). Alternatively, if you are considering (or have already done) a stereo upgrade, you can wire the UHF radio up to the factory pioneer 4" speakers under the dashboard.

GME TX3100 and TX3120S — this 'super compact size' UHF will fit on the driver's side of the front accessories facia. Same speaker recommendation applies as above.

GME XRS 330C and GME XRS 370C (plus any other UHF radios with all controls, speaker and screen on the hand piece, e.g. Icom IC-450) — the body of the UHF can be fitted inside the console close to the back. We can supply and fit an RJ45 plug in the front accessories facia for $40 incl. GST to plug in your hand piece.

No holes to drill or damage to the vehicle! This product has galvanised steel mounting brackets positioned to locate existing captive nuts in the floor. Installation hardware and clear installation instructions are included.

The height of the floor between seats in the 79 Series Single Cab (before the floor shape change in 2016) does not allow for the fridge (which is secured to a platform) to be an armrest height.

The Bushman 15L Roadie + mounting platform at the back of our console is 530mm tall, which is far too high to be a comfortable armrest (a comfortable armrest height in this model is 360mm), and can cause an obstruction for the driver changing from first to second gear, third to fourth gear, or applying the handbrake.

• The Bushman Roadie offers the driver and passenger a padded armrest (we add a padded insert for comfort)
• The Bushman Roadie offers an unobstructed armrest (other fridge models have the buttons and drink holders obstructing the armrest)
• The Bushman Roadie offers rear passengers two cup holders (for 79 Dual Cab and 76 Wagon customers)
• The internal capacity of the Bushman Roadie is 15L (20 can capacity)
• The Bushman Roadie internal height allows you to stand up 1.25L bottles + wine bottles
• The Bushman Roadie is secured with bottom-mounted captive nuts (no straps or additional brackets clipped into the plastic grille)

For bucket + bench factory setups: we require photos to check for bracket or obstruction clearance.

For factory twin-bucket setups: designed to fit most aftermarket seats. Console is 190mm wide — check clearance before ordering.

88mm internal diameter, 75mm depth, with a smaller tier in the base for cans.

Yes, with our jumbo cup holder disks, which level out the tiered base to suit sizes in between. Alternatively you can use our Big Caddy Adapter.

190mm wide × 125mm long × 55mm deep.

Narva Australia Heavy-Duty Twin Accessory/Dual USB Sockets.

No — we use ABS plastic to prevent rattles from coins, cans, or mugs.

Yes, available in any colour of your choice. We can match most materials from Australian suppliers.

No — colour range limitations and the inflexible nature of leather make it unsuitable for our complex shapes.

No, the decorative gear boot in our product requires the factory rubber boot to stay in place for sealing and noise prevention.

No, we only supply our fully finished, upholstered products.

No — a front recess allows the glove box to open without contact.

Exterior grade, marine-bonded plywood, finished with soft padded vinyl upholstery to match your interior.

Original Full Length Console — straight design that stops before the 4WD selector. One accessory position on the driver’s side. Same high-quality vinyl and trimming options as Premium.

Premium Full Length Console — extended design that wraps neatly around the 4WD selector. Two additional accessory positions on the driver’s side (three in total). Same high-quality vinyl and trimming options as Original.

Fit & Finish: Both models are precision-built for your vehicle, using the same upholstery, colour matching, and padded armrest lid. The choice comes down to whether you want the extra accessory space and the wrap-around style of the Premium.
