*Indel-B Fridge/Freezer GROUP BUY AND BS THREAD!!!**CLOSED

It's really not complicated!

Step 1:
obtain
-10 or 12g wire long enough to reach from the battery to wherever you want your outlet (i'm running 10g because who knows what i might eventually plug into that thing!)
-a 12v outlet (can be found cheap on Amazon or princess auto or most places)
-a few crimp connectors (1 for + on outlet, 1 for -, 1 for ground, 1 for the battery terminal)
-an inline fuse holder and fuse! (unless you have an aux fuseblock which im assuming you dont)

Step 2:
drill a hole for your outlet. depending on the style you got. for mine i just used a 7/8 hole saw

Step 3:
run your wires.
-you can run the ground from the outlet to any convenient grounding location, or all the way back to the battery.
- you must run the positive from the + battery terminal, to the positive pole on the outlet.
- you may want to (read: should) protect the wire somehow... loom. and zapstrap it up out of the way, usually just along the frame with the rest of the stock wiring harness
Do Not Hook up to Battery Yet!

Step 4:
Install the outlet into the hole with your wires hooked up

Step 5:
install your in-line fuse holder and a fuse as close to the battery as practical. with my 10g wire, i will be running a 25a fuse. As long as you fuse below the wire threshold you are fine

Step 6:
hook up to the positive terminal

Step 7:
plug in your fridge and watch in proud awe as the little green numbers glow and your well earned drinks begin to cool (or continue to cool if you planned ahead!)

EDIT: I should mention to either heat shrink or electrical tape around each of your crimp connections

 

Yup, it's pretty simple. I am going to move my fridge between my two trucks, for wheeling or beach trips etc., whichever truck I am using. I ordered two of these to mount in the bed of each truck;

So I will also be able to charge my phone while hanging out near the bed. I ordered a spool of 10 gauge wire and a 10 gauge fuse holder for the Tacoma, my 4Runner already has a blue sea fuse block under hood that I can connect to.

 

Thanks guys, good info right there. Guess when the fridge arrives I'll have to become a certified electrician!!!

 

Did you ever try that 12v extension from Amazon? Wondering if it worked?

 

I received my TB31 today, ordered on Monday! Next is the hinge and lock mod, thanks for sharing Aero3685, and wiring to my access cab, thanks for your help Leppz.

Thank you again .45 JHP

Here is my 40



I has blue light!

 

Got my fridge hard wired in tonight. Just need to decide home I'm going to mount the slide.

 

my fridge has a white light! i wonder why there's a bunch with blue ones!

I decided to install a 12v outlet behind the rear seats from my aux fuse block that's always on today. I'm thinking i might even just remove the rear seat behind the driver and build a platform attached to the seat bottom hinges for the fridge. it's a really great spot, with the fridge sitting in line with the truck length wise (temp gauge at the back) and there's lots of room to open the fridge door. Then I will retain 2 seats in the back (unlucky fourth person haha). The only downside i see is adding MORE weight to the driver side of the truck (gas tank, battery, driver) to potentially enhance that taco lean

 

I am kicking around the idea of mounting a aux fuse block in the bed of my truck so i can run some wire up to my OBA compressors, and the fridge but it seems like a lot of work.

 

Here is how I ran mine. I tested it outside the truck first



I ran 4gauge wire. I put a 80amp fuse at the ends by each battery

I'm using the cheaper blue sea 7611 (think that's the number). It does all the isolation but nothing complicated like using the aux battery for starting. No remote to worry about.

Tonight I added in a fuse block terminal. It has room for 12 devices. I will add :
Fridge
Led lights in the cap
Led light connector for the tent
Aux plug for compressor
2x usb charger

First time playing with car electrical. Prob $125 or so in parts ($175 with the fuse block). But man do I ever know my system end to end now!

 

A bit confused as to why a mount would have a quick release. Some of the off-roading I do would make me nervous about three little pins. I guess I'm installing the handles and using straps

 

Whats your plan for mounting all those goodies? Looks like you're on the right track.

 

Got my fridge today, which was ordered on Monday. Impressed how quick it shipped and got here. Thanks again @.45 JHP for setting this up. Looks like i will have a cold beer for ya at mod day after all.

 

Depending on how the plate holds once I build my slide I might just use straps as well. It will be nice having the plate for the fridge to clip into though and to prevent it from sliding around.

 

Awesome

 

@kevin604 , are you planning to do a write up???

 

Got mine yesterday too. I'm so excited, no more beer sloshing around and busting while I'm wheeling

 

Someone mentioned earlier that they could NOT remove the mounting plate from the bottom of their fridge upon delivery. They had to unbolt the pins and use a screw driver to pop the pins out. My guess would be that one the plate was properly secured and handles are on the fridge it is going to take quite a bit of force to pop the fridge off the mount.

 

Almost wishing I'd have bought a smaller one so it'll fit under my bed cover...

 

That is the reason I went with the 41, didn't want anyone trying to borrow my new fridge!!!
