    Thank you so much for this post.

    There has to be a post of the month for this must surely win.

    Lol

    Well in person it wasn't so glorious. It was a lightweight modern 6 cubic freezer not the old school huge 500lb monsters.

    honestly i strapped it down too tight, to close too the back crease (hatch opening) @ bent it up myself.

    Hehe it was funny in the quote tho!

    Looks good. Let us know if you think it affects your fuel consumption.
