    Oh, I used it for a battery charger, to jump start a very dead bulldozer, when the jumper cables alone was not quite enough. Yes in parallel the dozer started.

    A few, mainly added skids. I like leaving the suspension alone. I drive forest service dirt roafs in the desert west extremely extremely too fast. Toyota nailed this suspension going 65 across desert terrain. Changing it is dumb unless you have a specific need like crawling or mud.

    This x2... I just added a second power bank that charges at 400 watts (bluetti) which is absolutely amazing after the punishing 85watts the Jackery will uptake at... the solar is nice, but when it's 6:30PM and your sitting at 38% charge one 30 minute idle cycle will put enough charge out to get that fridge through the night...

    Cheers bro

    I did the 400w anytime and in-cab plug. Before then I used it to charge tool batteries and test things I was buying or selling at thrift stores or classifieds.

    With the in cab plug I run a Milwaukee rapid charger or fans mostly. Runs a Salton 350w compact coffee maker perfectly. Runs 1/4hp sump/utility pump for over an hour with no issue.

    I also ran a 12awg cord and checked to see if it could run my homes heating system (1970s single zone hydronic gas fired boiler with one pump) and it had no issues. Great to know in event of emergencies! Built in inverter has been handy for me.

    Like others have said, is great to charge up a power station while driving to the next camp spot and then use the power station for lights, fan, etc
