Me too! I probably wasn't clear in my post. He paid $30 for his two 30 inch sliders (62" extended).

I don't have many photos of the build - its pretty simple, really....
I cut a 3/4 inch ply would "deck" for cooler to bolt onto, the slides (were originally) screwed into the 3/4 inch ply.
I had to raise the plywood "platform" 3.5 inches off the floor of my storage bay (due to height of the stiffening lip of my storage bays) - i raised the deck & slides by using 2x4's (bolted thru the storage bay bottom)....you can see the uncovered 2x4s in the one photo, where the cooler is slid out.
I've covered all of the boards w/ matching carpet so everything blends in well & theres even some "hidden" storage between the 2x4s.
my basement bay's are 24 inches deep so the longest slide rails that will fit are 24 inches - they extend 2x to 48 inches.
