In today’s DIY video, I’m showing you exactly how to fix that uneven cooling and improve your 12V fridge's efficiency. We’re installing a custom fan module bracket that we’ve been running in the back of the D-Max for months. It takes about half an hour to install, mounts completely out of the way with 3M VHB tape, and wires directly into constant power so it runs whenever the fridge runs.
🛠️ TOOLS & MATERIALS REQUIRED
- Wire tools
- Drill (optional)
- Screwdriver or thin allen key

⚠️ Quick Heads Up: Tapping into the internal control panel requires some minor modifications. If you highly value your factory warranty, you might want to steer clear of this mod!

⏩ What's with the gloves?
Not after any YouTube fame here which is why I'm not in the vids - they're not about me they're about the how-to! I used the gloves for the first couple of projects I filmed which just happened to be messy ones and it kinda just became a thing - easy to spot my videos! If that's not your thing and you'd prefer to watch a face, all good, I won't be offended, there's plenty of better looking ones to watch already on YouTube ;)
⏩ Where did this start?
I really enjoy tinkering with different projects - they usually require a whole bunch of research and learning along the way. It's satisfying on doing a thing and standing back and going 'Yeah! Totally did that!'. I had a bunch of mates asking 'how did you know how to do that?' and 'I couldn't never do that myself so I thought; I need to start something where I can help others that might be thinking the same thing :)
⏩ What will you find here?
The purpose is simply to make these videos as top quality and helpful as I can. They will always be free, there's ZERO agenda and the only motive is to try and upload what I would want to watch to help with that particular project. I'm also keen to keep building this little community and will try to answer all questions when asked - fire away :)
