ponethousand's build

Really excited about the fridge! Do you have the 50qt as well? I want one of those canvas neoprene covers to protect it. Did get the instruction manual on it but it has a setting for low, med, and high. I'm guessing that is the battery draw??

 

Cvt mt Shasta.

Ill see if I can find the laser I have now in case you want to switch out at some point.

 

Yeah I have the 50qt, just in the older model. Mine has a transit cover. Its nice. The Transit Cover isn't as important on the new model fridge like yours as the plastics on the outside of the fridge are pretty durable and more scratch resistent than the metal sides on mine. But it does help to keep it better insulated.

The first time you're 4 days into a long trip and 100 miles from the nearest town and you pull out some icecream from your fridge after dinner you'll fully understand how cool having a fridge is. Cooler/ice can't compete with that.

 

Got to put the truck to the test this weekend. Had no problems what so ever. Rolled up to an obstacle where two out of four jeeps broke their drive shaft. The group of tacomas I went with all got up the obstacle while the jeep guys watched. One of the members of our group did get stuck.... He has a jeep....

Front locker and 4.56 worked out great. Got a little bumps and scratches on the sliders and front bumper. Nothing a little touch up paint won't take care of. Learned a lot about my truck and it's capabilities. I'm very happy with my current setup. All the money that I've spent in the last couple of months finally got put to use! Rear bumper worked like a charm! Awesome to be able to close and open the swing out in order to get to the rear bed.

ARB fridge, I do need to rewire it to have constant power. I spliced a cheap cable to the front and it was working great then yesterday it stopped working. Plugged in my other 12v extension cord and it fired right up. Going to rewire it a little better.

RTT was awesome! I was a little sketched out with it being so high but I got use to it. Just got to make sure my foot is on the step, then I was good to go. Super roomy for just me being in it. It will be great when my daughter is old enough to go camping. I was a little worried that branches wood puncture the tent cover when wheeling. It took no damage what so ever. Talked to El TACOROJO and he will be building me a bed rack for the tent. Got to figure out some measurements with the ARB being in the back and also the CO2 tank.

Great people to wheel with, can't wait for the next trip.

 

Trucks lookin awesome! Great pics from uwharrie too!

 

hah, that ledge at daniel felt like it wasnt even there

 

Good shit paul

 

You and your truck did awesome Paul. You made Daniel look so easy for those Jeepers

 

Sick crew of gnarly Tacomas.

Nice pics.

 

Damn looks freakng fun!!

Glad everything worked good.

 

Thats some good stuff right there! looks like it was a pretty good meet.

 

i bet those jeeps shit themselves when most of us just drove up that ledge on Daniel like it wasnt even there

 

Air lockers are da bomb

 

I feel like that happens at least once a trip. First time i went was samari people staring at our shiny trucks and last time was the jeep group that held us up when lerry showed them up and now i guess yalls trip too...

 

yeah there was a group infront of us on the first ledge at daniel and they couldnt get up easily. kept tryin and trying. the rubicon even had a little trouble, but i think that was mostly driver. i dont think i even slipped at all. just went up and didnt stop till i got to the S-turn.

 

I cant talk much cus i havnt done that ledge, only because my lack of skids and being my dd. I think jeep drivers just suck. Minus a few im sure but like last time, how many jeeps had us held up and how long did it take them on one obstacle, that really i dont think was all that.

 

well, there is no bypass anymore. u either go up it, or u go back down the mountain

 

Really? Wtf happened to the bypass? I mean im not really scared of it as long as someones spotting it just rather be safe than sorry

 

They blocked it off...

 

Well shit guess itll be time to man up next trip
