    It's Varrstoen. They only knock off designs. I thought they only knocked off tuner wheels but I guess they found another market to jump into.

    Good job on the video @stroM- , nice editing. It's funny, the whole time I was thinking he should pull out a beer and crack it at the end, and I wasn't let down. :thumbsup:

    I've got a buddy from the Army that lives in San Jose. He just hit me up saying he is getting a 3rd gen and can't decide between the TRD Pro and sport. I told him he is better off jumping in here and asking anything he wants to know lol

    if thats a compressor based fridge, they are relatively low wattage. if its a solid state peltier cooler, ugh, kilowatts and they still don't get cold enough.

    Compressor, and draws 2.5 amps on the regular setting. Pretty jazzed about it.


    For now, I have the group 31 optima blue top that ill run a line from to the bed of the truck and probably one inside the cab to plug into. The solar remote it comes with will notify you with a beep when the voltage gets low and your running out of enough power for the fridge. Ill take it out a few times locally on camp trips and see how much power I actually draw before I have to start up the truck then asses if I am going to need a dual battery option or not. @Mademan925

    Good to know. Ive been talking with @Iggy about the different options and running some numbers based on amp draw, etc. I think ill be fine running the fridge for 3-4 days without having to power up the truck. In most cases ill be moving during the day and setting up camp at night so it shouldn't be an issue. The option of a roof rack and solar is a potential but we'll see what happens.

    So americas tire won't swap tires and wheels with my tpms. I told them I wanted rubber stems, and said they can't let the truck leave without tpms.

    Yes sir. Need to get to know the folks at the shop. Been going to the same tire shop for years and when my tpms died they just put in rubber stems and let me go on my way.

    lame. would they put rubber stems if you drop off the wheels (off the truck)? definitely a hassle though

    ...too much shit to list.
    There is a way around it. Bring the tires in loose (don't drive your truck in) and tell them you bought them used and your truck is a 2003. They won't care then
