https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/arb-cords-and-fridge-mods.148730/page-2#post-2069056 I bookmarked that one. The rest of the thread is pretty interesting too.

I think you'll find most hams will be more than happy to talk your ear off about their gear, what they think of it, and how you should spend your money!

Awesome truck Hookingit, man Tor does nice work. Can you add a link to the mud thread? And who made the roof rack?

That chainsaw bag is very cool, I like!

It wasn't ideal, especially access-wise, but this worked for me for a temporary fix: plywood top with (IIRC) 2x2 bracing around the inside for a snug fit, Technitop RTT bolted to the plywood with a hinged lid behind it for access to the gear inside. It fit really tightly and was just held in...

What a great build! Love that 40 as well.

One of the guys in my Cruiser club had his seize on him - no idea why. That's the only real issue I've heard of. I've been running a 12V version since 2010 and a 24V version since 2013 without issue, and at least 8 of my wheeling friends are running them. Have yet to hear of another problem...

My BJ74 has it mounted on top: It's a PITA. I have to climb onto the bumper to access the fridge. My HDJ81 has it mounted on a slide on top of a smaller drawer: That storage unit is quite tall so the fridge is still not low, but it's a lot better than the setup in the 74. I wouldn't go...

Did you check the ARB slide? Accuride locking slides are nice.

I never added my 81, so... 1. Year, model, color, etc: 1990 HDJ81 2. Name of owner/screen name: bj70_guy 3. How long have you owned your 80 series? Is this your first? 1.5 years. First 80 series, had 70 series cruisers since 1992. 4. Mileage at date of purchase and present mileage: 255,000...

Not a Japanese heavy truck (at least not by you guys' standards, LOL!) but FWIW I've used redline MT-90 in my BJ74 Land Cruiser's 5 speed tranny (it specs a GL-4) and yes it made a very noticeable difference in shifting. I used it my my BJ70 before it (same H55F trans) and it made a real...

Sierra Expeditions shows this one: http://www.sierraexpeditions.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=107 I'd expect your MT35 would work fine in the ARB slide as well, you probably know someone with one you could test fit?

A Bialetti 12 cup moka pot lives in my HDJ81. When I got the truck it was already equipped with a 1000W inverter that had been installed solely to run a Bodum burr grinder - which also came with the truck :coffeedrink: So now I grind fresh espresso beans from my local roaster in the middle of...

Mine is a 100W mono panel mounted on Thules IMG_1292 by bj70_guy, on Flickr Marine wire feeding a Morningstar MPPT controller IMG_1289 by bj70_guy, on Flickr Keeps up to the ARB fridge nicely, which is what I really wanted. Great addition to the truck.

1/4 mile? :D

Mine lock fine in the in and out positions.

Yes they are Accuride extra heavy duty. They have a 400 lb rating when mounted sideways. http://www.leevalley.com/us/hardware/page.aspx?p=58870&cat=3,43614,43620 My drawer system was already built when I got the truck, and the fridge space was built without enough clearance on the sides -...

That's what I did, so far no problems at all. IMG_1285 by bj70_guy, on Flickr
