Crude, but effective. I just may have to do this. I have a bunch of 5k-8k BTU portable units that look smaller than yours, for around the $100 mark around here.... add in a 3000W peak inverter for another $100, and I should be in business.

Works now.. Go fig.

Second vid won't embed for some reason.

I stuck a scissor jack in the door, pushed most of it out, it was 10x worse before.

Artistic license.... Thinking of spray painting over the door one and putting it on the front quarter panel.

Permanently mounted the cans, added a third battery with continuous duty solenoid that's ignition switched (I can run equipment without vehicle running, without killing the starting battery, but still charges when the vehicle is on). I Finished installing/wiring the SS2000, the D700, the...

You has PM.

Less space, more functionality. You can get a decent ss2000sm for about 300 nowadays. If you sold your existing stuff, you'd be at least halfway there.

Yes. All siren tones disabled, airhorn with horn ring, lighting controls, and signalmaster control. I'd need 3 boxes to do what this one box does. Completely programmable, and controllable by a computer.

D700, 2m/440 built in TNC/APRS. Single output to diplexer, with 1/2 wave on VHF and separate 1/2 wave on UHF. While most people like the 1/4 or 5/8ths, I'm a big fan of the 1/2 wave for its radiation pattern and the fact that it doesn't need a large groundplane. I installed the radio/SS2000...

Sounds like you had a starter solenoid, they're rated for intermittent use. Hence being toasted. Also realize that relays are rated for both inrush (current peak), and continuous. Most chinese ones will advertise peak, NOT constant current carrying handling. A 200A 'peak' relay will only handle...

In the process of moving both batteries to one tray, and adding a 3rd isolated 12v battery for lighting/communications.

aprsdroid is free.

I have the same lock/key for the steering wheel chain. NBD.

Lightbar outfitted with HIDs, antennas for comm gear, and high tech locking gas cap. still need to drill a hole for cable gland. still need to install traffic director, radios, and lighting controller, as well. Tomorrow, tint goes on.

I was looking for an easy way to connect a quick deploy solar station to the vehicle, and this is exactly what I was looking for. I was gonna use Anderson power poles, but the simplicity of your setup is something I like. Charge battery, jump vehicles, connect inverter for using electric tools...

What did you use? I haven't seen anything like that before...

too light imo, looks faded. for comparison, per Behr thread, no thinning, with Wagner.

Did you lock the hubs? They're manual.
