Hit me up on PM if interested

 

Hey guys. I've been trying to organize my overlanding storage organization solution.

I'm leaning toward ripping my third row of seats out and putting in 2 drawers that span the width of the seats. I think they can be up to 8" tall and still sit flush when I fold all my seats down. Then I want to put a cargo slide on top of that that slides out 100% I think it can be a great storage solution for my needs.

Kinda like this but 2 of the drawers and no fridge..

 

I need to do this behind my seat

 

Takes up too much space for me

I'd rather get a yeti and not run out of ice

 

No frig = Not EAF

 

But I can pull the yeti out when not using it. The fridge is built in is it not?

 

Oh no way. I didn't know they were removable. I though they had to be hard wired

 

Look into rtic fridges. I just bought one for short trips, should be here soon. A lot cheaper and still uses the roto mold

 

Thanks. Will do

 

Need to pay off rear bumper first!

 

Tell me about it.. I have a bunch of shit in my garage that still needs to go on. Mobtown sliders, pelfreybilt skids, and just got my prinsu cab/toprac!

 

Damn... Fund me man. I have 6 more payments on my bumper lol

 

I was gonna say look into Rtic coolers. Basically a Yeti except 50% me and my roommate just went halvsies on one so I'm paying $100 for a 65 quart

 

Most fridges have two plugs, one that can be plugged into a wall outlet at home and another that plugs into an aux/cig-lighter plug in the vehicle. I have a Yeti and a fridge and the Yeti never gets used. No comparison to having a fridge. Once you use one, it's hard to justify using anything else.

 

Yup! I made a separate battery case set up so I can use it when camping out for more than just a couple days or at a campground.

 

What about battery use?

 

in my case, i have an Indel-B fridge which has a switch. If the truck battery starts running too low it'll switch off. But I usually just plug it in while the car is running, so it charges via the alternator. when camping for days in a parked position, i use a power center (

$80 Newport Trolling Motor Smart Battery Box Power Center with USB and DC Ports, Medium

http://www.amazon.com/Newport-Vesse...72104&sr=8-1&keywords=newport+vessels+battery). Ive had it on the battery for 5 days no problem, using a group 31 optima yellwotop battery.

 

That's awesome would love to have something like that as tall as I am no-one can sit behind me anyways

 

Most quality fridges on the market now have a voltage switch that will shut the fridge off if the battery voltage drops too low so you don't end up with a dead battery. Even on my older ARB fridge I can leave the fridge running overnight without issue. If you are staying parked for several days without starting your truck you might look at a separate battery solution or solar panels to power the fridge when you're stopped.
