The Mini Fridge (5th Gen T4R) Build -- SOLD

Mounted and balanced.

 

Looking puss brother

 

Big update now.

First, I got my @RelentlessFab aluminum skid mounted up on Thursday before heading out to Kingman, AZ as my dad and my stopping point before making the long haul to Flagstaff in the morning for overland expo.


Then we set out. Saw some really sweet rigs at the Expo like @Mademan925's tacoma and @RelentlessFab's tundra. Plus I got to see another 5th gen I've been stalking on Instagram for some time. Also walked away with some free swag from FrontRunner Outfitters. They left a t-shirt on my windshield in the parking lot but I didn't even know they had a booth.

Didn't take a lot of pics but these were a couple cool ones.

I thought this new Colorado was nice. First one I've seen that turned my head.


And the ultimate tailgater made me jealous...


Met up at the expo with @fishfinder and set off to find camp in the surrounding forest. We found some awesome spots, but it was super windy so we settled for another pretty cool little sheltered spot.

Camped that night and I slept like a baby. Apparently the wind got strong enough to rip my stakes out of the ground though...

Saturday morning, we decided to pack up and explore the forest. I have some videos I'll try to upload, but for now, a few pics.


After we had our fill, @fishfinder and his fiancé were off to Powell and Moab (Jealous...)

My dad and I originally planned on going to the expo again, but decided we saw everything and didn't feel like paying another 50 bucks to get in. So, we headed out to our place in Havasu traveling as much on dirt as possible.

Out here I bought a new Optima Battery and installed it. My stock battery died after I left the car electricity on for 30 min or so without running anything and I had to jump it...

Since my dad has a big garage here, I was able to install my Morimoto Lightbar on the roof. It's not wired yet, but that will be coming soon.

I love FrontRunner, but man they make it a pain in the ass to get some parts off. I had to go to the store for tools twice... Mostly because I don't think ahead. Just maneuvering in tiny areas.

Overall, a great success!

 

Day shot of the light bar

 

Lightbar looks good!

Do you loose any light output with it being so close to the roof and it cutting off some of the beam?

 

Yeah I do. It's pretty close to meeting up with my headlight cutoff though and I'll have a Lightbar in my front bumper down the line. No good glare though!

 

Good deal! I don't have any hood glare from my Heretic bar in the prinsu rack at all. I think it all depends on how far back from the windshield the lightbar is.

 

Yeah the ones hanging over the windshield are the bad ones for that. I'm digging the low profile look. Cops here will ticket me if it's sticking out...

Now just to figure out how to keep the whistling down a bit. I've fixed it somewhat, it used to sound like a tea kettle on my roof.

 

Wired the lightbar finally. Things are moving. I'm over 50% paid off on my rear bumper too!

Just ordered some TRD center caps for my wheels. I think Machined TRD will look cool since I have the machined lip.

 

If anybody is looking for a quality lightbar, this one is great. I can't afford the rigid or Baja bars so I went with a cheaper alternative and am extremely pleased.

When are you getting yours?

 

Probably when it goes on sail. @gym_jamz said they do a July 4th sale so then. But I still need to hook up my auxiliary fuse box and cut my prinsu rack

 

Nice. I'm stoked on this bar. It could be much better if it was closer to my windshield, but I'll put one in my front bumper for that.

 

Nice! If they had a dual row one Id put it behind my grille

 

Danggg!

 

If you want it now, there's a 15% through out the weekend. If not, you can wait til 4th of july! (I think it was 25% last year)

 

I may need another bar. Last year was 25 for the 4th??

 

What do you guys think? Buy this, put a bed rack kind of thing on it for the tent, and enjoy?? Maybe a battery in the tongue box to run some lights and such. Very heavily considering...

 

Dooooo eeeeeet!
