I started my build thread yesterday and I wanted to add the write up for my ARB fridge. I wanted a fridge that I could fit behind my seat and still be able to adjust it. The fridge is probably the best investment I have ever made for my vehicle. I bought it for when my fiancé and I moved across the country from MD to WA. I wanted to be able to stop at a grocery store every couple of days and stock up on food instead of eating out all the time. Boy, did it work perfectly!
Now on with the build.
Parts needed:
ARB 37QT Fridge Freezer - http://www.sierraexpeditions.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=2205
ARB Fridge Freezer Wiring Loom - http://www.sierraexpeditions.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=2290
- I could have used some duplex wire but I ended up buying this kit. I had a problem with the 12v style plug making a proper connection and because of that it kept blowing fuses. The below fixed the issue.
4 pin trailer plug - http://www.etrailer.com/dept-pg-Wiring-sf-Trailer_Connectors.aspx
- I used a 4 pin just because it was readily accessible.
To install it all I removed the moulding along the rocker panel and next to the emergency brake and ran the duplex wire where the moulding was to my aux fuse block. I also removed the cubby under the rear seat, drilled and hole for the plug and installed it. I also cut the 12v plug that came with the fridge and soldered and applied heat shrink to the fridge side connector.
