Someone on here has a sweet FJ with all the goodies. Solar plus all kinds of other cool stuff.
Search and you will probably find it. He's got some bitchin' stuff.

98 4Runner. Jacque installed a plywood deck with Tuffy tie down points, standard pull straps to secure everything. Pretty clean and simple. No solar panel setup yet, that will eventually be on his trailer. Plenty of room for jerry cans and Pelican cases on the third gen Baja Rack.

Thanks guy's.
Here is a review too that is a sticky at the top of this section.
http://www.yotatech.com/f172/camping...ws-ton-151694/

Just about every camping item I take has been reviewed in it including the new solar setup I got a few months back.

My fridge setup has changed too.
It use to be in the back of the rig, now it is behind the drivers seat, and also the lid has been modified to open up all the way and sideways, thus not hitting the roof anymore.

Solar installation article

Rehinging the ARB/Engel fridges

Fridge moved behind seat
