Hi all, long time reader.. i have a drinking problem.. my kids keep pinching my beer from the fridge, so I'd like to install a portable fridge in the Hilux, I have a 2011 SR5 which has a hard lid fitted. My other problem is that I'd like a 50 lt fridge minimum, but the waeco 50 lt fridge sits too tall and fouls on the hard lid. So.. can anyone recommend a lower profile fridge? I do plan to fit a canopy buy can't really afford it right now. Once I stop the kids from stealing my beer, then hopefully the canopy won't be too far off.

Cheers

What is the distance you have from the bottom of the tub to the canopy?

If you have a look on the Waeco website they do have the dimensions of the fridges so that should make it easier to narrow down what will fit.

Hi all.. yep.. serious subject.. but the reality is its just an excuse I need to use to justify a fridge purchase.. haha.. The waeco cfx 35 fits, but the volume doesn't stack up.50lts minimum. I'll be running it 24/7, dual batts fitted with a dv/dc charger. Most days I'm in the car for a couple of hrs so charging isn't an issue.

I was really seeing if there was an alternative manufacturer that others have used successfully. . Perhaps a Primus?? Someone else?

      Putting 15" or 16" on will only make it slower, won't have the power to pull higher gearing, trust me I know, my cousin has one. He ended up putting a 4y/ 5speed in it

      300 series turbo issues

      I have since found when it happened again on steep incline, lift foot on accelarater pedal, drops a gear and then back on the gas an no issue as is out of the rev range approx 2200 where it happens. (This is all done in a second so not a drama at all now for me when it happens)

      Current Oil Specials

      You're not wrong there Ash, greedy retailers trying to make a dollar. I say let them all bleed & see how they like it, surely they must be hurting by now. I have rarely walked into either of the big 3 auto stores, essentially purchased nothing all year. Have plenty stock to keep going, anticipating big Black Friday sales. I have also been considering swapping out my Aurion for something much taller (cos lower back issues) & super efficient but I just can't bring myself to flushing all that $$ for the sake of it, especially given the Aurion is still like a new car. Also concerned about leaving the very good safety of a car manufactured by Toyota for something a little unknown despite also being Japanese made. Then there's the ever changing landscape in the middle east which is excuse enough to instill fear into everyone from producers to stockbrokers to retailers and of course those that live there. Interesting times ahead for sure.

      Advice Please

      Welcome to the forum John, Depending on where you are your best option may be to get your existing alternator checked first to be totally sure that is the issue.The next if unable to find one suitable even on the aftermarket you may have to have that one rebuilt ..That may be your only option..I am sure somewhere there is one suitable but finding it is always the issue. I would get good advice from an AUTO ELECTRICIAN as they will have the inside knowledge of any sources that may able able to help you mate. KAA
