Here’s an option for a windshield washer reservoir from @snowboundcustoms
This is their 3rd gen 4Runner tank that you can drill a hole for the low fluid sensor in the side (1 1/8”) and enlarge the two holes on the bottom to fit the two primary sprayers (I eliminated my headlight washer). Then just use some trim tape to adhere the relay to the side. You’ll need two packages of 6’ additional length hose (5/32”), but you should be able to reuse the existing hose connections. Last thing you’ll need to do is put some padding behind it where it rests against an A/C line. And I just cut up, re-bent and riv-nutted (m8) the supplied bracket to that core support 🤷🏻♂️
I chose this tank because it has a vented cap and is a little less expensive than the other one that some have used.
Some of the pictures here are of @x_factr_adventures rig I did a couple years ago. Finally did the same to mine this week.
Thank you for the tips on how to simply secure my fridge, it works perfectly👌🏼
Couple 8’ @rollercambuckle straps from our local float shop @sunshinesportsmt doubled up and ran through a couple factory Lexus cargo D-Rings I had laying around and it seems very secure.
Few things I noticed… Padded the corner closest to the plastic trim at the door so it doesn’t move around and scratch it. This orientation will work for a road trip, making food easily accessible while we’re rolling along. Then we can flip it around on trail and access it through the door when we are on the trail. Both corners are padded for when we flip it.
Second, the lid doesn’t open up all the way, so it won’t stay up, but I found a little plastic widget in my shop, added some sticky-backed pad to the bottom and it wedges into the hinge and will hold the lid up at the perfect height. Now, if I can just figure out how to retain it at the corner so I don’t lose it 😬
Lastly, the Seco compressor rattles around inside the fridge over bumps. EDIT: the compressor is perfectly quiet. It was the empty baskets that were rattling around 🤦🏻♂️
For reference, the 60% seat that was removed weighs 103lbs! This fridge weighs 63lbs.
Now to move on to power. Haven’t determined exactly how to power it yet, but always open to suggestions, and trying cool new products 🦾
Thanks for the suggestions 🤙🏼
@icecofreezer APL55
What’s the simplest and lightest way to secure my #iceco APL55 behind my driver’s seat? Don’t need slides. I’d like to keep it as low as possible. We’ll have it face inward for a couple days on the road and then spin it around for a few days of trail use on the Rubicon.
Does anyone already make an aluminum plate that secures where the seat was? Size seems perfect for this spot.
Video was just A-Trac doing its thing on some snowy rocks. Lockers could have been used but weren’t necessary 🤙🏼
She said “Climb up on the tire and I’ll take your photo.”
New rule, the tire isn’t tall enough yet if you can easily do this. Maybe 42’s will be perfect 🤔
(I did struggle a little bit, but that’s cuz I’m old, not because the tires are tall enough)
Playing around with the Edits app but couldn’t find the fade-in from black and fade-out to black that I like 🤔
Local trail with a peak altitude of 8500’ and some fun drifts across the top. Camped overnight halfway at 7620’ with cold temps overnight but quickly melting snow and good traction during the day.
Got the winch wired into a #bluesea 9003E disconnect switch. This was the best location I could come up with for placing it as close to the battery as possible. Also cut the Slee logo out from the middle of the battery hold down bracket, and shortened the posts on the switch to create some extra room between the connections under the switch and any possible metal surfaces that could create a short. Shortened the legs of the switch to create some more room between the hood and the switch. This should do for now. Winch functions and just needs to be unwound and spooled up nice and tight. Let me know if there’s any other adjustments you think I should make.
