Very nice
As always, this forum had some great input. I just pulled the trigger on an ARB 50qt fridge with cover from Northridge 4x4. For the record, some of the options I found while considering this purchase are:
Dometic 43/qt CFX-40US
Engel 40/qt MRo4oF-U1
National Luna 42/qt NLS-295 (nice, but really pricey)
Norcold 47/qt NRF-45
Smittybilt 52/qt
Snomaster 42/L BD/C-42P
Whynter 45/qt FMm-452SG
I wanted something that would keep things COLD for multiple days. It should be here by this weekend!

If you see from the 1st photo, there's a shelf that I made up. This uses the mounts from where the rear seat goes. The slide and swagoffroad action packer holders are mounted to this. It's also easily removable so I can change back to a rear seat. The front mounts under the loops and the rear is secured by the seat belt mount/bolts.

The initial monetary hit may sting the wallet but like the saying goes, "Buy once. Cry once." I think you'll be really happy with it.
Even though I didn't cash-in on the 4WP fire sale or was able to get the ARB fridge with a free cover or the free ARB chairs promo that NR4x4 has had, I'm still extremely happy with the purchase with the little discount I still received.

Your "Buy once. Cry once." definitely applies. I'm also heavily leaning on the saying "You only have to buy quality once".
Thanks for your input.

The price was actually $599 but still.....
Only a handful of people took advantage of the deal. I don't know how I managed to resist even though I already had one and it would mean owning 2 (though it wouldn't have been a problem to sell it)...

Rod, this is amazing. Im new to overlanding and I to have a 2 door JK. Would you be willing to fabricate and sell me one of those aluminum bases so that I can replicate your setup? Thank you!

I ordered the fridge for my jeep last year. But it went wrong from the very beginning. I could not find it at the local shop, so I had to order it in the online store. And due to the smallest mistake, my order was lost. When the fridge did not turn up for two weeks I started to call the company. And it turned out that I gave them a wrong zip code. And my parcel went to the wrong destination. Always recheck your postal code postcodefinder.net/ when you are ordering something online. Otherwise, the problem is guaranteed.
Hope you finally received it.
I L O V E my ARB fridge. No more soggy sandwiches and always a cold one waiting at the end of the day.... or even during the day.

Wow, You would think they could read the city and state and not just the numbers of the zip code. Remember 50% graduate in the bottom half of their class!
