    SSO hybrid bumper, Warn winch, RCI skid trilogy, RRW sliders, everything in the cheap/free mods thread, and of course the frame recall work.
    Nothing; mine has never worked since day 1. Wish it did - I would charge RC and airsoft gun batteries, cellphone charging, you name it - pretty much anything that draws virtually zero power but needs 115v.

    That plug makes blowing up my dolls a dream. Sometimes I gotta top them off with some air, I don't even have to leave the bed.

    I use it for to run the fan on a DIY A/C (igloo cooler) for my dogs. It really helps with the heat in the back in the shell.

    I have used it numerous times. During a black out I had the house fridge hooked up to it for 2 hours just to keep things cold and it worked but had to use short extension cord. I used it also on some power tools when out at the cabin. 400 watts is not very much but can be useful on small less powered appliances. Downfall is that engine as to be running to use it.
