Gotcha Mike. Was thinking you had larger boxes on top. I've seen MTG set up on last years con run, so have a general idea and clearly you can get a lot of items under the lower deck.

Knowing you coach your kids sports and such, it's more that gear I'm wanting to keep out of eyesight. Coaches duffle, bag of six soccer balls, baseball gear. Etc.

I'm contemplating fabbing up some sort of modular set up I can adjust depending on outing/time of year. Starting point would be a lower security deck.

This last week doing the rubicon and then the extra days, has me thinking again about the fridge. Ice sucks! Not to mention all the wasted space when it melts.

I have two different size action packers that fit next to the fridge but on top of the deck. They can be locked and are somewhat secure, but not that secure. It would be very easy to do something more secure like a trunk or even a dog kennel that you could just pile stuff into.

As for the coaching, the fridge really is amazing. Lunch, snacks, Gatorade, fruit...all of it without the mess of melting ice. What doesn't get used is transferred right back into the garage fridge. No wet labels to clean up and nothing to dry off. Honestly, you will wonder why you took so long to get one.

As you know, I have a 50 and a 37. I honestly don't think I'd ever have a need for anything larger than a 50 but the 37 is great for shorter trips.

I have the 50 and love it but, and can't image how a larger one would even fit in the JK.
 
Never mind.........found it.
Pagen12 of the sharkey tank build thread.

Is there a link to the sharkey shelf info or build?
I need to do something to get the back organized.

Every extended wheeling trip I say I need a fridge.

Might need to just finally pull the trigger. It's night and day from a cooler. Wish they were $450 instead of $900 though.

You spend $900 a month on booze. Just quit drinking for a month. ;)

Doesn't the fridge need some air circulation around it for the compressor? Seems like an under deck setup wouldn't work very well, especially if any gear gets packed around the fridge.

The fridge needs 50mm(just shy of 2 inches) of clearance. With how I have it setup I just meet that.

Not really. The stuff (tools and survival stuff) I permanently keep in my jeep is just as secure as it would be with a Tuffy. Most any trip specific stuff I bring is easily secured in lockable boxes on top of the deck.

I keep my fridge in the jeep almost all of the time but it is secured with a cable and heavy duty padlock.

Do you always keep it plugged in and running? Was curious as to what the lifespan would be on one of these.
 
Mine wouldn't run either off any of the DC plugs. I bought a couple marine plugs on Amazon, wired directly to the battery and it works perfectly. At home I have the fridge plugged in via AC cord as to not use the battery, though.

I bought my 50 December 2015 and it's been running non-stop since I unboxed it. Only time it's been off is when I turn to if off to move from the house to the Jeep, holding it's temperature no issue :thumb:

Just out of curiosity, is the purpose of leaving it running 24/7 so that it is cold whenever you want it to be?
