What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (76 Viewers)

DO you keep it plugged in overnight or keep it off and it holds its temp? .

not phil, but i ran dual batteries for a long time afraid that i needed the juice, but a guy i run with has run his fridge off a single group 31 for years with no issues and he sometimes camps for a couple days before firing up his rig.

i got in the habit of the last few hours i was driving, i'd crank the temperture up, then turn it back down when i park. that way the stuff gets into freezing temps while the rig is running and the fridge doesn't have to be set to a low temp when parked overnight so it cycles on less. if the fridge isn't packed full, a towel over what's in there helps too.

STOP!
Look up the huge thread on Edgestar. I have purchased 5 fridges in the last year. Blem 63 quarts go for $275 shipped.
Not the most efficient but well worth the price

My understanding is that Whynter makes the Edgestar fridges...

Gear Review- EdgeStar Freezer/Refrigerator

But like @LandCruiserPhil says, a blem may be the way to go. Especially for the price. However, I'll still tell you to buy the ARB fridge - buy once, cry once.

You will be fine we use one of ours without solar or dual batteries to run back and forth to Mexico. It can go for several hours without issue. Overnight gets questionable when it hot out, 100°

You need to be very fast on the buy button because several guys watch for them to come up. Warning- Im looking and waiting for another for my father-in-law

Ordered an 80 qt blem. Gave me a 10% discount off the $349. It'll be here by the end of the week. I guess I need to get the wiring set up...

Well, the ONLY option I am given when I respond to a post is to "Upload File". That's it. Nothing else.

Don't the advertisers have to vote on it first?

Did a trail run and played with the GoPro. Everything that is supposed to move appears to move, and nothing moving that shouldn't!

OME 2.5" lift and budbuilt hd tie rod/ drag link with 555 ends. Ran into a small problem with the alignment so the drag link will be coming off to get a little trim. (Jam nuts made the link too long)

Wow! Those drag links make your bumper look huge!

Haha I forgot to take a photo before I started today so I had to put up an old one for comparison.

Went camping in Timber for the weekend. Did a little exploring and shooting. Fun times.

I had the crystalline tint put on my truck over the weekend. I highly recommend for anyone who wants tint and doesn't like the factory brown tone. The crystalline has the visual effect of almost eliminating brown tone, leaving the tint just dark and clean looking. The front windows are just slightly darker than factory, giving a uniform looking high-end tint. I will post pictures tomorrow if anyone is interested.

So, all my posts are limited to 5 pictures or less. And I bought a Silver star. Mr. "no star whatsoever" can post 9 pictures in his post.

WTF gives?

Since we are now focusing on getting chapped asses here, and all...

You can host upload your pictures here in your forum album and then link them in a post as you wish.

Brake fluid flush (first time since purchase last summer) and rotate tires. Right rear bleeder was a bear, had to use a torch to fully remove and clean out the bleeder passage. The rest were easy.

Did the same thing on the 325xi as well, now I'm set on brake fluid work for another year.

Wait... You flush your brakes annually? Is this a real thing, or like @LS1FJ40 's obsession with washing his undercarriage weekly?

"It's my undercarriage, I'll wash it as much as I want! "

You have something for the fridge?! I hadn't heard!!

I've only washed the undercarriage of my 80s once a week the past month!

 

[tampacruiser95]

Interested.

Bad time of day for pics but this gives an idea of tone and darkness.

For the record, I wash the undercarriage 2-3 times per week during the winter. Not just weekly. Weekly isn't obsessive enough.

I hope this is techy enough. I'm not a wrencher but I love this site and don't want to be a rulebreaker. Found a use for the old car phone mount I haven't removed. Apparently some metal under there. Good for opening IPA's when I'm parked for the night.
