Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

Doing one final shameless plug for the fridge I'm selling before I give up and just keep it. Ad link below, I'll do $450 as a super duper double secret probation unlisted friend price to anyone in the Wisconsin or associated hooligans crowd. I just want one with a freezer for cocktail ice, help me get funds so I can spend even more money please!

Just imagine, you can put all your Milwaukee tools inside to keep the batteries from 'sploding while also chilling a case of Schlitz and ten pounds of cheese as any good Badger State inhabitant would do on a normal day. Then you can engage Super Bro Mode and ride into the pavement-covered sunset while scoffing at all the Fords and Rams of the world (as you should). Dreams are made of this stuff, it can be you...

 

Hmmmm..... Would this be large enough for 2 people for 3ish days? Hard to get a scale of size in pictures.

 

Yes. 40-50 is kind of the sweet spot for physical size and having enough room for a couple people for a few days.

 

I originally started with an 37.. then got an 63.. now im back to using a 35 95% of the time.

 

I was thinking, damn those Milwaukee tools are spendy. Then I was talking to my neighbor today as he was replacing a leaky pipe. The crimper thingy tool he uses to join pipes without solder is smaller than a sawmill, all it does is squeeze pipes together but it cost 3 grand!!!! Yikes!

 

Yes, definitely. On my 3-week trip last fall I loaded it with food to the brim. Was having problems towards the end where food was starting to expire because I couldn't eat fast enough (a rare problem in my world lol). Vendor website says it can fit 68 cans of soda/beer if that gives a better idea. So think the size of 2-30 packs and then add 8 more cans.

I agree, it's a good size for 1-2 people. I'd stick with what I have since I know it already worked perfectly but I want lots and lots of ice cubes for Old Fashioned and maybe some ice cream in a dual zone. I know I'll never have the biggest baddest truck but I figure there's no bigger flex than pulling out a Bomb Pop on a 95 degree day at camp and watching everyone stare like you just did a magic trick.

 

That’s one of my favorite parts. You are at camp and people are like wtf where did you get that?!

 

Hmmmm, I'll have to consult with the financial advisor. We have been talking about a fridge but having a freezer also came up in our talks.

 

Having ice cream along is going to make you very popular.

 

Some creepy guy giving away ice cream from his truck? Yeah, real popular lol

 

I try to live up to "dirt everyday" theme... hard to want to take it out of the garage this time of year. Next week though... One freekin week... and... MOAB! Not just dirt every day, but ROCK every day.

 

Tyler, I do long multi week trips that are often days upon days off road "covering" ground. Sometimes it is hard wheeling for hours on end in 4 lo and others its 50+ on dirt roads. The crawling makes the misadventures come out okay... teaches me how to be careful and what the limits are of myself and the truck. Honestly its all fun.

 

This describes last years tour of the fire towers. Nice drives on gravel roads followed by 4lo adventure. Looking forward to this year's ride.

 

We really haven’t hit anything expensive yet…

 

My second driveshaft definitely wasn't free lol

 

That is EXACTLY what I’m going for! And even if I’m not that’s what people think anyways so why not lean in to it?

Having daydreams now about old school 90’s rap and Mr. Ice cream man. Wonder if I can pull that off…”Gather round kids, Uncle Taco bout to freestyle on that C.R.E.A.M. Get the money, dolla dolla bill.” (Apologies for all the north woods people who I just confused the hell outta lol)

 

I've wanted a mog for years.
