Not sure how I'd feel about my $30k plus truck sitting on a few jacks while all the rims/tires were off...

I'm thinking of getting the ARB fridge but after seeing the cost of these I'm re-thinking it. Aside from the major price difference, any other benefits to the indel?

Carpeted the storage box for the back of the truck. Still needs some struts and latches.

The funny part is that you have to look under handrail tube to find the pre fabricated bends. Or you can just request custom bends.
The tube bends are found here.

From what I've seen, they use the same compressor as the National Luna, and also go through the same distributor and service so the support is similar. I have seen several people mention they have had these things for 5+ years some even run them constantly. The casing is identical to the Iron Man Ice Cube The footprint is the same for all sizes and it just gets taller, so they all should fit pretty well in our vehicles. I haven't tested it yet, but I believe the back seats should still be able to recline even with the largest model.
The negative is the latch is plastic and I can see it wearing out over time. The handles stick out pretty far and attach with screws, and there is no drain hole so you may have to turn if over to drain, and once you turn it over you cannot run it immediately. They suggest 24 hours. The lid doesn't come off to make easy access in tight spaces, and it doesn't have any accessories that I have found, like the wraps, tie downs, or slides.
These things don't seem to be as "cheap" as the price implies.

Well to each their ownDo you use anti-bacterial soap? (Side note that OEM filter is also 22 months old).
Besides why not? It filters as small as 5 microns, costs $11 bucks (not $45 for OEM), and replaced every six months, plus better airflow. Can you tell me what size the particulate the OEM filter captures?
I have been driving for nearly 30 years without one. I will let you know if this one kills me in six months, then I might switch back:
R U Mad? What is Soap have to do with anything. Nothing against YOU using that product, it is substandard PRODUCT due to less filtering media and that is the fact. Don't take it so personally. I've no idea where you buy your OEM Filters for $45 but I pay $23.95 for Premium Charcoal Toyota cabin filter.

LOL why yes, as a matter of fact, I have been accused of being mad:madgrin:
I really didn't take it personally, I thought is was funny how you responded. Immediately stating the obvious. As any idiot can plainly see there is more surface area on an OEM. The material are more dense as well at least in appearance. Less surface area also equals less restricted airflow. What is a "substandard" product to one is not to someone else. I suppose if I drove through exhaust filled tunnels or for long commutes in stop and go traffic with recirculation off I might opt for the best filter possible. I don't and I would prefer a little more CFM. In fact I would run without it if the initial air intake design wasn't so poor that it allows all manner of crap to even reach the fan.
The mention soap was in relation to germaphobia.
That price is what they list for. First time I have changed mine. Not sure were you get yours but after shipping all the ones I have seen clock in closer to $30.
This is all trivial and I wasn't intending to argue by any means.

What is this compressor mount of which you speak? IE where does it go? (hoping over the smog pump?) I really would like to drop an aux battery where my compressor is now, firewall side of the airbox.

It mounts on the back portion of the passenger fender/fender well. A buddy of mine made a few of them up for us 5th gen 4Runner guys. [MENTION=103699]lipek[/MENTION] has one too.

not to...but IN...
While on kid-duty while my wife was out with her sister, i took the kids, and found a Md state park in the dc area which allows vehicles on its trails...sort of. on sundays, but we were there after the park closed today...so i took a shot.
anyway, put it in 4Hi, 4Lo a few times...and enjoyed about 6-8 miles of surely level 1 (and under) trails thru the mud, some fire roads, some gravel, ...as a city kid, i was trying to block out all the kid chatter and contain my grins.
the entire way, my kids and my niece are worried "wont we get stuck like we did in the pick up?"....no kids, i think we'll be alrite...
it wasnt rock crawling thru the Rocky mountains..but i do tell you, i see the attraction...that was fun for sure.
