our cabs are noisy. realized that when i had my fridge behind the driver with the rear seat removed. so much quieter with the seat back in

 

I have the sound deadening matierial, and then for that black scoop thing, I shoved some foam from my Plano box, and that quieted things down, but still helped with ventilation. I think I am back to stock noise levels. Plus I have a URD Y pipe and exhaust.. so things are a little louder

 

thats good noise though. it was road noise that i heard more of

 

the best noise is that whine

 

my truck doesnt need any worse gas mileage. ill leave the fast stuff to the car

 

dont even remind me. I am not paying attention to the mileage anymore.. but if I get over 200 miles, its a good day!

 

Yes it is.

Yeah I don't pay attention to mileage anymore either.

 

i can manage that still. im doing an extended tank or something before any big trips. its the stops every 2 hours that suck

 

Every two hours

 

maybe 3, haha. still annoying. depends how far the gas stations are apart. pavement pounding is boring

 

What.. Mess?

 

Has anyone ever used their fridge (ie. ARB, Dometic, etc.) as a daily-running unit in their home? I'm asking because I'm about to move into a new rental unit that doesn't have a fridge. It would be cool to have a dual-purpose fridge that I can easily take from the house and use on the go. Plus, In the years that I've rented, I've never even put that much consumables in the fridges provided.

 

Ha, yeah. We had our house fridge crap out and we pulled a 52L National Luna inside for domestic duty while we waited for the replacement to arrive.

 

@ChamYota used/uses his as a beer fridge.

 

@dtaco06 runs the piss out of his.

 

My Snomaster 42l acts as a 3rd beer fridge in the house when it’s not in the truck

 

Where did you get that panel from!?!?

Death Valley 2018: Day 3
Does It Get Any Better?


Cognizant of our limited daylight, we pulled out of the mine
and paused only briefly at the infamous sign at the top of Lippincott Pass

HIGH CLEARANCE | NO TOW SERVICE | CAUTION.

Just what we wanted.

Jesus and here I was consider super charging my 4cyl cause it's getting heavy and has dropped to 17 mpg. But I'm close to an oil change and my irridum plugs need to be changed
