Good deal on Duracell Inverter?

Ordered (1) on 1-2-12 (paid shipping 'cause I hadn't seen mention of free shipping code). Anyway, just checked and my inverter is shipping FedEx. Not a bad deal for $12.75. For those of you wanting a good install kit, here is Amazon link for Cobra 1000 watt wiring kit. Amazon.com: Cobra CPI-A4000BC 4-AWG Heavy-Duty AC Power Inverter Cable Kit: Automotive

 

did you ever get yours?

 

Yes sir I got them today.



These things are bigger than what I expected, I hope I can still install one under my center console!

 

I have a few 4 guage amp install kits laying around somewhere. If I can find them I plan on using that. I wonder if the 30A fuses included with the wiring kits will be sufficient for this?

EDIT: I just found THIS write up from someone who installed one on an FJ. Looks like I gotta back up and punt haha. Gonna need some more materials.

 

no you need something for around 85 amps if running the inverter at max power

 

OK thank you sir! I am gonna try to find a resettable 100A fuse locally, if I can't find one I'll order one online before I attempt the install.

Would it be better to mount the inverter under the dash and run the AC outlets to the desired locations, or mount the inverter under the console and run the AC outlets to where I'm wanting them?

 

Thinking about wiring one of these in one of the closeable bed pockets. I don't have the stock plug back there. I bought two.

 

They said they weren't going to be able to fill my order and that I would be getting a refund.

 

I would say your best bet would be to mount the inverter in the cab and run a good quality extension cord to the bed and into one of the pockets. That would prevent water/dust/mud from getting inside the inverter.

 

How many did you order? It seems like the ones that ordered 1-3 are getting their orders filled and those that are ordering more than that are getting shot down.

 

I ordered 3.

 

i ordered 4. we'll see if they actually come, i havent heard anything from JCW about refund or being out of stock.

 

pm me if you bought multiple inverters and would like to sell one. thanks

 

Haven't got any kind of confirmation email, my order probably isn't getting filled. I ordered mine days ago

 

i ordered 2 on 12-31-11.

i just received an "order invoice" email today from jc whitney stating that my payment was approved, confirming my order number, and various info on tracking numbers which would be emailed to me within a few business days, depending on which carrier they used to ship. it also confirmed my bill to and ship to address. sounds encouraging, at least it did not say they were cancelling my order...

although i am not positive, i am at least a little more hopeful at this point that i may wind up seeing these. i guess the next step is to wait and see if they transmit a tracking number(s)...

 

I just received this email today as well. I informed them that I am willing to take whatever they have and that they do not have to fill my whole order of 37!

 

My account was credited the money for the inverters Damn JCwhittney...

 

PM'd

 

Please let me know if you have an extra inverter for sale. My order was canceled.

 

I've PMed a few people, I'd love to buy an inverter for a fair price off someone. $20 shipped?
since I'm stuck in a 1st gen now, I miss the AC outlet i had in my 05, made camping and work a lot better
