That code takes the 50 QT from $877.80 to $924. That's a bargain!

Mike, it was good riding with you the first day of our #KATexpo2016 adventure.

We used a coleman xtreme 70qt cooler for those 8 days. Adding roughly a bag of ice a day. And it wasn't the hottest end of June either. We had a few gripes with a cooler on that long of a trip. While we used two mini trash cans inside the cooler to keep our main food out of the water, when the ice would melt it would float the trash cans and pop the lid open. Thus sloshing water in our cargo area over rough terrain and melting ice faster. Our other issue was as you add ice. The items that can get wet and are mixed in with the ice end up getting barried to the bottom.

We've also made the decision to upgrade to an ARB fridge/freezer.

Anyone else looking for a fridge, I know [MENTION=120150]TotalAutomotiveLV[/MENTION] Total Automotive Performance has their summer sale going on. COUPON CODE "SUM16" and it works for the ARB fridges unlike some other automotive venders.

Yep. For all of the above reasons its no ice for me soon.
Enjoyed meeting you and your plus reading your reports/pics. Would have loved to have done more. Maybe next time.

Liquid, give them a call. Something must be wrong with [MENTION=120150]TotalAutomotiveLV[/MENTION] computer system. I used the code earlier and if I remember correctly it was around 813 or 817and change after the code.

There we go! Thanks for the notice on the code, I might have missed the new thread about the Summer Sale. I just blew a bunch of money on a kayak and gear but I'll be taking advantage of this deal in a couple of weeks. Fridge time! :beer:

Good to know. I was going to wait a while and get the slider later, thus all the questions. I bit the bullet and ordered it all.
I have a trip coming up and its going to be nice to have.

Mike,
A one day KAT veteran

Get the slide, I have an indel B, I went with a static mount, will be ordering a slide soon. Static works, but EVERY SINGLE TIME I open it I think about a slide.

Having a fridge in the truck is flippin amazing. We have had this ARB Fridge in our FJ Cruiser for well over a year now and I have to say, camping and road trips are so much easier and enjoyable not having to worry about ice. That said, I decided to get it installed in the 4Runner on a slide with the ARB mounting straps so that I can move it between the two vehicles quickly and easily.

I figured this was going to be a quick and easy drill some holes install. However, I was very wrong. The mounting holes for the slide lined up perfectly with everything that either I didn't want to drill through (seams and welds) or that I simply couldn't make work. After about a million careful measurements, I decided that It would be best to build an adapter out of 3/4 inch Birch. Here is how it went down:

All in all, everything turned out well. and the slide works great. Even better yet is the fact that I can look in the rear view mirror and clearly see the temp gauge of the fridge reflecting off the rear window. Since it is two reflections the numbers read correctly and clearly. If anyone would like to mount their fridge in the same fashion, I am willing to share my measurements for all holes drilled.

Resurrecting an old thread. Do these slides come with bolts? mine didn't. Can someone share with me the bolt/nuts specifics?

I used 1/4 inch bolts with T-nuts on the back side. 1/4"-20 T-Nuts | 100pc | by Bolt Dropper, Pronged Tee Nut. for Wood, Rock Climbing Holds, Cabinetry: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific

 

[DannyLlama]

Thank you! how long of a bolt did you use?
