Was curious if anyone had any experience with this? In particular, looking for people with a JKU that have used it and mounted it in their Jeep. curious as to what slide out was used and how it fit.

Thanks in advance for any and all help!

I can't speak for how it works or fits in a JK, as I have a 4Runner, but I got one last month. Just haven't played with it yet due to too many irons in the fire right now. I did do a TON of research though before the purchase and figured it was worth a shot for the price point ($379 off Amazon). Once it warms up and we start going out again, I'll have a better handle on if it was worth it or not. With that said, here are two fairly recent discussions here on OB. The first is specifically about the Costway and the second is a general fridge thread in which one of the Regional OB Directors talks about the Costway he has in his JK. Hope this helps!

I read somewhere that the Smittybuilt thermal covers will fit. Just don’t remember wher I read this at.

I bought this exact Fridge about 3 months ago and I have used it driving from LA to Vegas when it was about 115 and the fridge performed well. It got cool very quickly. Held the cool temp at 38 degrees well!
