Thanks Josh! I got it from DFG Offroad. Haven't really got to use it yet, but I will say it seems very well built and they have awesome customer service. Originally I was going with a different fridge (my old Edgestar) but ended up deciding I should upgrade. They were great about changing the order.
I am not fully taking advantage of the tilt feature since I mounted it so high. Normally you just push it back it and it tilts down with gravity. I have to lift mine as I push it in, otherwise it will run into the top of the rear door opening. I went back and forth, but decided it was worth it to maximize space. To make it function as intended you need a few extra inches above the fridge.

[MENTION=24143]BlairB[/MENTION] Badass drawer/fridge setup. Love the tilt feature on the fridge mount.

Thanks Dave! I love the slide. It is nice to be able to get some more storage while still being able to see what is inside the fridge.

Finally got out to Death Valley for the first time in way too long. Spent 5 days and did 450 miles through the park, most of which was dirt. Definitely took advantage of the suspension travel and all the fuel storage I have!
...and finally dialed in my storage! All that you don't see here is my backpack, chair and a 10 gallon footwell water tank.
4th Gens were well represented in our group
And a few random photos I liked

After many years of faithful service I decided to part ways with my Baja Rack. Ended up replacing with a Victory 4x4 rack since it will work much better with my Yakima roof box (you can actually see it in the background on my DD).
I feel like I am going to miss the functionality of the basket, but do love how low profile the new rack is!

Well I finally decided to do something about the ancient audio and went a different direction than most. I am really really happy with the results.
Instead of replacing my headunit I added one of those Apple CarPlay/Dashcam mirrors. I simply have the aux wire routed through the headliner and into my factory aux-in. Sound quality actually seems great. Added bonus is my fridge and rear tire carrier totally blocks my back window, so with the rear camera I can see out the back finally! You can set the mirror up to be half camera (either front or rear), half CarPlay or full screen CarPlay. I will likely keep it CarPlay and rear camera to use it as a digital rear view mirror.
Here is a link to what I the one I bought (actually bought a few and kept the one that seemed the best quality) and a few photos.

After nearly 18 years, the 4Runner is still going strong and introducing camping to the next generation in my household!
Recently added a Total Chaos +2" LT Sway Bar, upgraded to 650lbs coils in front and will be switching back to OEM exhaust, and replacing tires to help its highway manners and drivability.

[MENTION=24143]BlairB[/MENTION] Your 4Runner is looking better than ever! It's great to see the next generation is getting an early start in off-roading and camping.
