I thought about building something like this but couldn't find a small enough quality fridge. At least one manufacture offers a factory fridge in this location. I think it's land rover but can't remember for sure.

Yup. Dometic. It’s just a little bit wider than the ARB model. But half the price and very sturdy. You can see several pics here. Along with a security deck I made for it to sit on.

Don't mean to shit on the ARB fridge thread, but has anyone tried the Dometic fridges or have any experience with them? I was looking at their slide on Amazon and ended up checking out their fridges too. Frankly, the reviews on them are as good as the ARB version. And they're $100 cheaper - that'd pay for half of the slide. Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

For any of you thinking about getting one, here's another example of the convenience. We're running a couple trails on Sunday and this thing is already packed. The fridge will just sit in the garage plugged in until Sunday morning. Once we're ready to roll out, just throw it in the Jeep and go. We've got drinks, meals, snacks, etc already set up. As many of others have stated 'wish I had done this sooner.' Funny that I started this thread with questions, and now I'm trying to talk others into getting one, lol.

Echoing what WJCO posted. This is a daily look at ours.

The plastic forks saved my ass yesterday.
First trail of the year and I was bound to forget something. At least it was a fork for lunch and not something like my compressor hose. haha!

Billy Mays here. For those of you on the fence...We had some plans cancel last minute and decided to run a few trails. We had a couple other errands to run also. So we threw the fridge in the Jeep and went to the store for milk, eggs, etc first. Then we ran three trails. We were tired when we got home and now, 3 hours later, our groceries are still in the Jeep

I pulled the trigger on the ARB 50QT when it was on sale... The fridge is becoming one of my favorite purchases. I don’t have to buy or hear ice sloshing around anymore!

I would buy it for the two door. It gets too scratched up.

thanks for the feedback, I was actually thinking more for insulation and didn't consider that it would get beat up but good to know. I don't want to spend all the money on the fridge and get i torn up, so may be worth it

I thought you already had a fridge. Just wait till arb offers a transit bag with a purchase of a new fridge. I waited for a 10 or 20% off from the store and arb rebate for a transit bag. ARB offers it a couple times a year.

unfortunately not, I've seen that deal a few times before, I kinda want it now cause I'm going to run it in my truck and for my Jeep. I drive my truck about 500 miles a week for work and am always on the go in and out of facilities, with the summer heat the cooler has become about useless and cumbersome. if the damn thing wasn't 130$ i wouldn't care. can always get it later too i suppose

I hear you. They are very convenient.
We use the hell out of ours. Mainly grocery runs. For work I use a Yeti.
