    Quick run down of my randomness.
    Get a trolling motor battery box that has 12v, usb outlets, and some outside terminal on it. Run cable from underhood battery to a dc to dc charger mounted to this box and store either behind rear passenger seat if it fits or find somewhere else. Essentially a big somewhat portable battery bank.

    Cool idea! I could think of some pretty cool uses for that portable battery bank.

    Thanks, also with the right charger you could use solar as well. Right now I’m looking to get a electric cooler or fridge here soon.

    I have been thinking about doing the fridge setup. I want to try and do some multi day camping trips the RTT and try to be self sustaining. A fridge would really help. I have a nice generator but it’s big and bulky. If I could get the dual battery and solar charger setup to keep the fridge running I think that would be enough to get the wife to go out with me

    I know we have talked about the headlight upgrade in the past but I have never pulled the trigger. I was digging around tonight and I ran across these...
    https://caliraisedled.com/products/tri-color-fog-light-replacement-bulb

    I really like the option to cycle between white and amber based on road conditions. Also they look super bright. Watch the demonstration video on there page. I ordered a set to reward myself for getting through some really challenging work stuff! :anonymous: I’ll give you a rundown after they get here.

    That would be great honestly I have no real use for a fridge but I’m sick of using ice even tho it’s cheap. I use the cooler all the time just doing stuff outside in general so I think that’s the better option for me is the electric cooler.
    That’s pretty cool
    That’d give me a seizure.
