Hello great people,

Thanks so much!
Dave

Ive got a few 12v things on my truck, very low draw (like some add on gauges), i currently just have wired to cigarette lighter. Cig lighter is 12v in my truck. Will do something more permament down the road, i'm still working on getting mine finished and road legal (still needs cab, thats the biggest thing, hopefully start on that soon), gauges are more like temporarily hooked up for now
