Happy Birthday To Me 27Nov18

Kala scored me a cool ARB fridge/freezer for the Crusher for my birthday. No more chiller packs or ice chests, just continuously cold refrigeration. Its super efficient, 50 quart, and hooks into vehicle 12V circuit and house 110V, prioritizing 110V when both are connected. There's an adjustable voltage trigger that assures you can't drain the battery. I am still debating on whether to add a secondary battery to the Crusher so I'll assure cold beverages (and even ice cream!) and also assure a full battery. I did have to rearrange the back and remove the last row seat onto which I was oddly clinging. So cool.

[07Dec18 Update] The fridge install is complete. I ran a separate, fused, 8 gauge pair from the battery, through the firewall (not for the faint of heart), under the driver side door kick panels, behind the rear inside panel, and anchored out to a special positive screw-on terminal built for 12/24v line ARB purpose. Now there is sufficient full time power to the fridge to assure cooling - even when I am not jacked into 110V. It took ~3 hours and copious use of my "snake" but went better than I'd anticipated. As mentioned in a later post, I don't have a dual battery setup so will carry a mobile jump-starter just in case.

So far it's working well and holds ~35° steady... I have not tried to freeze stuff yet - nor has it been 95° out recently.
