I'll be there, perhaps in a shiny "new" 80?

Ice was a big issue this past trip, at least for me anyways. I know Phil was even running very low on dry ice. Glad I have that console fridge in the '81, came in very handy.
I plan to save some pennies and buy an Engle/Arb fridge....one day.

You'll need more than pennies to buy one of those mothers! By the time you get the fridge, insulated cover, rolling track, and taxes, you are looking at a $1000. bill.
Still, what is the price of food poisoning from food gone bad in the heat?

 

[Granite Grinder]

This thread wasn't good enough

 

[Scalp]

This thread wasn't good enough

Oh, oh, sorry; can you join them into one?

 

[Enigma]

Depends what model you get. ARB only sells the one size, but the Engles come in all shapes/sizes/dollar amounts.
Engel Australia - Portable Fridge-Freezers

And the ARB is just an Engle with an ARB sticker on it, AFAIK, so it's more of course.




Okay so after looking at some of that, the ARB seems to come in cheaper for some weird reason...

okay..enough Hijacking..I'll start a new thread.

 

[canucksafari]

Sometimes you can pick up an Engles at a decent price from a used marine shop like mariners exchange in Steveston.

 

[prado t]

We will be up on the Alaska Highway , the s***y part is we will be missing Cruiser Days also

 

[Scalp]

Let's get back on track here, meeting Thursday.

We were off track? Weird, that's not like us at all.

 

[canucksafari]

What track? Someone found a new track? Did you get the GPS coordinates?

 

[Vanny]

I'll be there. Justin will be there as well. I will see if we can show up in his new yellow, 12" lifted 1994 FJ80 LANDCRUISER.

 

[Enigma]

Hmmmm..now where have we seen that before
