These are pretty cool, I like your setup with the Pelfreybilt cage and 31M too! I'm gunna have to upgrade soon so I've been on the hunt for diehard sales
Ya the battery cage is pretty dang solid once it is all mounted up. And that back up jumper pack is def a good piece of mind. I usually check it every other week to check the charge and it's still at full. I hope I will never have to use it though.
I am running a DEKA Group 31 AGM battery in the stock location in my FJ cruiser. I have a Dometic CF-50 fridge that has lived in the car non-stop for the past 3 years. Only had one dead battery when I fell asleep by the campfire with the stereo playing all night. Otherwise no issues. It often sits all weekend and starts strong come Monday morning. Weekends in the desert in 90+ degree temps, etc. don't seem to phase it. I've accidentally left the fridge running for 3-5 days when I fly out for business trips and it has always started strong when I return. I'm thinking about adding a 120w solar panel to my roof rack and a charge controller for a little extra piece of mind, but for the past 3 years I've had no need for it.
A solar panel would prob prob be a good idea if you leave that fridge running all the time
