My 5-year-old Dometic refrigerator died this week. Of course, I'm only 5 months out of warranty. Just ordered a new Iceco to give them a try. Coupon code LLOD got me $100 off. Then taxes added $45 back. F...

Shortly after I bought the Land Cruiser, my cat Runt passed unexpectedly. In my grief, naming the new truck after him just made sense. After adding the swing-out tire carrier, the license plate had to be relocated to stay visible. This left a blank spot on the back door. I finally thought of what needed to go there.

I'm glad to have a fridge again! The extra 5 quarts in this Iceco is nice, but I the included baskets are nowhere near as beefy or smart compared to the Dometic. I moved the old baskets over instead of modifying the Iceoco stuff.

Silly question for you, sir. Are you running spacers upfront only?
 
Trying to clarify fully:

Wheel spacers on all 4 corners.

No lift spacers anywhere.
 
I figured. Few fries short of a happy meal here and didn't read sold in a "pair" I'll be running a "reverse" staggered setup for a week or so.
 
Nobody will notice but you!

Once you have everything installed, I think you will like the additional stability of a 2" wider track.
 
What did you use for the two studs that didn’t come with the Trailswing?
 
The included hardware has two bolts that go into the backing plate that are threaded to match the lug nuts. Ideally, you'd have a welder tack them in place once you know which notch fits your wheels, but that's not a requirement.

Dang. Mine didn't come with the bolts. Just the locking lug nuts. Off to Lowes I go! But I agree--I'll have a friend at least tack them in place.
 
Well now I also realize the lug nuts that came with it are smaller than the lug holes, ha.
 
I reused some wheel locks I had that mounted my FJ Cruiser spare many years ago. They wouldn't work for driving, but they hold the spare on just fine.
