LOL, that would be bad ass... Actually I picked up a new truck yesterday. I went to my credit union asking about used car loans. They wouldn't finance any of the older H1s It seems it is hard to get used car loans on anything older than 7 years. Even with perfect credit it's just something taboo I researched and it seems most people either save up or use a home equity loan. My wife owns the house, but she offered to get the loan. We talked about it and decided to just buy a new suv for now. Her Honda CRV that she drives is 8 years old and might give out at any time. So we decided I would just get a suv now, and when her truck dies, she will drive mine and I will get what I want. I decided to get an FJ Cruiser since it is really meant for offroad. Last week when I bought it, i went home that night and ordered like 3k worth of parts ;D Today I'm installing a 3" lift and TRD exhaust I already installed the side nerf bars(rock rails) and front brush guard I had toyota install. Oh yeah...you cannot handle the power of 3 wiper blades

Hey Tarps... how do you figure out how much electricy something can run before it dies out. I'm going to be running 2 Optime deep cycle batteries in my truck and it has an actual 3 prong outlet in the back. I was thinking of getting a freezer/fridge for the back.. www.arb.com.au/arb-freezer-fridges.php These things are made for trips into the outback so I'm guessing they will atleast run over night without killing your battery...?

Here's a web site that might help. They have a solar calculator to figure out battery usage. (or it might make things more confusing ) www.icpsolar.com/4105/solar_calculator.aspThere are other informative items on their site. (like the ask a pro ;D prompt) You'll need to figure out the converter output wattage that is in your new whip. That and what the amp hrs of the 2 Optima deep cycle batteries combined are.
