Re: No more ice!!
You will never regret that purchase! I use mine around the house when I need extra refrigerated space (works great for keeping drinks cold when company is around and the fridge is full of food). They do occupy some real estate in the Bronco but its well worth it.
Word to the wise though.. pre-chilling your food/drinks is highly recommended. The compressor does a good job, but chilling a cooler full of stuff at room temp is a huge thermal load and it takes a while. Also keep an eye on your set point. I set mine at 26-28 for an internal temp of about 36, but definitely test it before you go on a trip to figure out where it needs to be.
I usually carry a flat of bottled water in the rig and chill 5 or 6 bottles at a time on the trail.1970 Bronco

Bring her on a trip with Mark and I. We'll dedicate one as a freezer so she can have ice cream in camp, and she'll give you the green light after thatOriginally posted by crawlin68 View Post

Re: No more ice!!
Yeah, baby. You will love that thing. I bought one 4 years ago. My wife flipped when she saw how much it cost- until we were having a party, we were out of fridge space, and I reminded her that it would run on 110. Now it's indispensable and she raves about it. Meanwhile, since I take a lot of extended trips, I've found that after a week on the road, there is nothing better than pulling out a cold beer, not covered with ice chest slime, while my cheapskate buddies are disgustedly trying to clean their beer bottles of the goop caked on them before they can drink.
Mine is the previous generation. I'm betting yours works at least as well as mine. I have no trouble freezing beer if I'm not careful.1970, Exploder 5.0 with P heads, EEC-IV EDIS, lots of wiring.

Re: No more ice!!
This year I will be rolling with no ice also. How are you going to secure it? Did you buy or build a mount? I just got done building one and was wondering what you came up with?Last edited by Rockbronco67; 04-02-2012, 06:56 AM.Comment

Re: No more ice!!
I bought some steel tie down rings, bolted them to the floor in the back. I use ratchet straps around the handles to lash down the fridge. I can reach around (that conjures up bad thoughts) and grab beverages out of the cooler from the drivers seat.Originally posted by Rockbronco67 View Post1970, Exploder 5.0 with P heads, EEC-IV EDIS, lots of wiring.

Hit the junkyard and find the GM SUV section. In the back of every GM SUV from the mid-80s to probably the present there are some really nice steel tie downs bolted to the floor. Grab as many of them as you can find because most yards will charge $1 each. They bolt down nicely to EB rear seat and seatbelt mounts. Ratchet strap from the handles down to those and the cooler will not move. Some of the tie downs are black and others are chrome. I probably have a few kicking around here if you can't find any.
They take a rather large torx bit so take a torx socket set with you if you hit the yards for these. Whats nice is the tiedown loop folds down when not in use (and doesn't rattle).Last edited by CityHick; 04-02-2012, 06:53 PM.1970 Bronco

Re: No more ice!!
Another option for tiedowns in the back is some unistrut. The short stuff fits right down into the factory grooves and the seat bolt holes should line up when you run fore-to-aft.
You can then use the nut inserts, tube clamps and L-brackets or whatever else lines up to mount your junk.
