Mine's on a RAM arm mounted to the Oh **** bar. Not exactly elegant, but does the job. IMG_1414 by bj70_guy, on Flickr IMG_1412 by bj70_guy, on Flickr

Seriously? Oztents are made in China?!

I have an ARB fridge slide in my BJ74 and yes it works great. When I got my HDJ81 the storage unit had been built too small in the fridge section to accommodate an ARB slide, so I made one with 2 heavy duty 400 lb locking Accuride slides and a piece of plywood. So far working great, and about...

I've watched your mud thread - nice truck. The fact Tor did the swap is a big win. That it has a G turbo and especially the Wholesale trans are VERY big wins. I'm loving the 81. After 23 years in a BJ70 then a BJ74, it's like driving a Caddy. It's really night and day. Mine came already...

Heh, 6 years later I DID wind up with one!

They were a rebadged Engel. Great fridge, if it works well buy away!

Wow, that sucks!

This is version 1.0, first time playing with solar. There will be no extra marks for creative install :D made in canada 100W mono panel bolted to Thule racks, Morningstar Sunsaver MPPT15 mounted on the side of the storage unit. Wired with marine wire, which for now is just run into the though...

70 series was never sold in the US.

It's been installed since last summer, fridge never comes out of the truck. I think the ARB weighs around 50 lb? Fill it with beer and bacon maybe adds 15-20? Don't know, never weighed it. The slides are rated to 400lb in standard configuration. Mounting them flat downgrades the weight rating...

Engel has their fridges on sale right now, get the tried and true 45 qt for $660: http://www.engelcoolers.com/fridge-freezers/shop-by-fridge-freezer/portable-top-loading/mt45f-u1 With that deal on I'd be hard pressed to drop an extra $200 on the ARB, though the free transit bag from OK4WD is a...

My HDJ81 had a custom storage system already made and installed when I got it - the builder had a spot for the fridge, but didn't make it wide enough to fit an ARB fridge slide. My solution was a set of 400 lb locking Accuride slides mounted flat, and a piece of plywood. So far so good.

Thule rack. No idea what the brackets are, the rear awning and racks came with the truck. It's a pretty janky set up, the brackets that attach to the rail have a post that points up, and the piece that bolts to the awning rail has a piece of square tubing on them that sits over top of the post...

It's a 55" CVT and lives on the truck full time, along with a 6' Ironman on the driver's side.

I have one on the rear of my HDJ81. It's mounted to a thule roof bar. Very nice having the rear of the truck covered.

Lots of good stuff at DS Tactical (it's still just Dave's Surplus to me...), hang on to your wallet :D When you're done there cross the street and grab a roti at D Roti Shak, highly recommended.

Slee's newbie guide to the 80 series is a good place to start: http://www.sleeoffroad.com/newbie/newbie100.htm

I carry the 2 sceptre lid wrenches theksmith references. The open ended one is for the water can, the other for fuel cans. They work great.

Please do!
