Finally getting an arb fridge but just can't decide which size without being able to see them in person. Family of three, we camp a lot, typically 3-4 days with 1 or 2 7-10 day trips per year. 50 or 62qt? If you have one please share your thoughts.

I have a 50qt Ironman fridge (ARB clone). Now that I've seen the footprint of the 62qt, I'd rather have it. Not as deep and not that much longer. Makes it easier to see in from the top for people with me who aren't as tall as I am.
I'm getting the 63 very soon! I considered the one size bellow but gave that up quick! Too tall for wife and kids (it will sit on top of drawers) and not enough space for a family of 5.
I don't know if this will turn out to be useful or if it is the right tool to use, but I created a facebook page for AZ-based participants in 100s in the Hills. I created the page as a potential place to connect, maybe coordinate a couple times to get together before the end of July, plan a caravan, post pictures, etc.
AZ 100s
I guess we'll see if it is useful or not. By the way, everyone is welcome!

I have the 63qt and prefer the size over the others, like bluecruiser said, it is shorter so makes it much easier to see into and less stacking inside. I have a family of five and can fit enough food for a week. I will typically fill the fridge with food and keep a small ice chest for drinks and add a few drinks at a time to the fridge as needed.
No experience to share but I'm leaning towards the 63 qt. as everyone else, for what it's worth.

FYI I don't have Facebook, sorry. But sounds like a cool idea.
Completely agree here. Went with the 50qt ironman thinking the jump to the 62 was going to be a little overkill, but now I regret it. Wish I would have went bigger.
Happy to bring them. We can figure something out then if you are still interested.

Awesome David. Thx!

This is a great place to figure out if someone has a part or something you may need. Kind of an HIH garage sale. I know I unloaded some rims, years ago.

What about a best of HIH award for best voted Landcruiser? Might be fun.
No problem. I also have the original rear coils if you need them. I installed the OME 866's at the same time the OME T-Bars went in.

Hell yeah I will take them. U gonna have room in the truck to bring them? I can pay u for them, bring beer, whiskey, food, anything u need.
My truck is an AHC truck with armor and I'm thinking the non AHC TBs and coils will get pressure back off he AHC and into spec.
Every report I've read have said the 100 non AHC rears are too strong even with armor and a spacer lift. I'm planning to use 80 series springs and ended up with two sets of them. Reports here say the 80 springs are great for what we are looking for: Definitive list of AHC maintenance items
I'll bring you my second set of 80 springs if you want them.
I figured you were working your way through the AHC challenges. I searched for an 06/07 without the feature for about a year before I found mine. I have room to throw the coils in too. They can always ride on the roof rack if necessary. We can figure out the deal later. I can guarantee you that if they go out, they ain't coming back.
Awesome. Yeah I will take those also. Just let me know how much or will PM when we get closer and work out a deal.
Between these and the 100 springs I will find a post up a solution.
I am as loaded as it gets, hoping one of them will work in conjunction with the AHC and my rear bumper, drawer system, roof rack and RTT.
Yeah I'm back and forth on the route I'm gonna go. But I want to try this out for sure. I appreciate u bringing them out. Will PM when we get closer and work out a deal.
Next week I'm going to get sliders, skid plates, and OME 2.5" lift (with UCAs) installed. Let me know if anyone wants any part. Otherwise anything coming off the LC will be in the trash can.
