    It’s more than enough unless you are running some high power audio system competing to be the most obnoxious.

    I've outgrown those days.
    Was pulled over once in the 90's for having my stereo too loud.
    The officer said he could hear me 7 blocks away.....I replied, "That's it?"
    :rofl:
    He gave me a seatbelt fine.

    We never went as far as changing alternators, though marine batteries and capacitors the size of a tallboy played a role.

    It was! We'd float around on tubes and go fishing all day, and drink abusively all night. Flip-cup tournaments, beer pong, massive bonfires. Sometimes we would still be up at dusk, go fishing for an hour, and then go to bed.

    It was definitely fun. But, I'm exhausted just thinking about it! o_O

    I had some fairly large subs in my '97 escort and I actually had to change the alternator twice because of them lol

    Were they done making hatchbacks by '97?
    Subs hit hard in hatchbacks.

    Well..... Both of my trucks sit for 3-4 days stints depending on rotation.

    Puddle Jumper sits for 6 days sometimes.... :anonymous:

    You know.... I have access to some police solar panels that we take down (they don't get permits to spy on people, so we get to remove them) :D ....

    I'll post a pic of the tech sticker and see what we can work with

    Used to do this for parades with a buddy's 04 Frontier back in the day.

    My bad. I didn’t account for the use case of running a fridge in a truck sitting in a parking lot for a week. You need solar or shore power.
