    Seeing the thing melt while you watched would be a deserving punishment. No ass kicking necessary

    Not sure I need them for steak on charcoal go back and forth on it. Likely use them tomorrow, maybe not sure yet. Going to try my hand at making some Filipino street BBQ ie: monkey meat on a stick. Once I come down from my food coma I need to start marinating some pork belly for tomorrow.

    Hence testing is done with a fused stand alone power supply not connected to anything on the tractor :} Something I learned long ago letting the magic smoke out of the shiny things ends badly lol

    When I worked at the dunes, we'd get a couple/few pimped out Polaris Razor (RZR) fires a year. They'd have so much crap (lights, stereos, gadgets) wired in that the electrical systems would get hot and burn it down...they sure make a purty black plume of smoke you can see for miles!

    I am going to guess cause there were no, fuses , relays etc .I have a double fused relay initiated turning on power to a fuse panel and all is run to it . The tractor itself has built in accessory plug and rated for 15 amps on a 20 amp fuse and a 20 amp accessory light circuit with a 25 amp fuse on it. Leading me to believe there is 35 amps between those unused circuits for me to get 29.3 amps with no overload. Well ... in theory lol not a soul here would ever know none of ya are close enough to see the smoke pire or hear my cussing lol :}

    Most of the time it was overloaded wires. Stereo amplifiers pull a ton of amperage and they hardly upgraded anything, just wired more shit to the main harness. You can hear them "bumpin'" 3 dunes over.

    Besides not have a large enough shovel or enough ass to swing it, what fire folks we had aren't able to get their trucks to them to put them out. Those things have a lot of plastic and rubber and, when it's over, there's nothing left but the carcass. I did see a fire at the drags one time and folks were backing their buggies up to and (literally) roosting it out and it worked. It was pretty cool to watch.

    Monkey on a stick is one of my all time favorite things. Ate it everyday when I was at Subic. Walk out the gate and stop at the cart just across shit river. Then off to drink girls and watch Mojo.
