    Got a chance to check out how waterproof this truck is yesterday in the Daniel Boone Forest, this is actually a road not a creek!

    I installed an Odyssey PC2150 battery for all of those power robbing goodies! At 1150cca, it cranks the diesel over like it's a scooter!

    Ok, so I picked up another one of these batteries for a super deal. Haven't decided if I should run a dual battery setup to run accessories for camping or not. I've done some reading on setting up dual batteries but the kits seem super expensive, like in the $300 to $400 range. If that's just the way it is I may just sell the battery.

    I now have two Odyssey PC2150's mounted up charged through a 200 watt isolator.

    I've ordered two Blue Sea fuse blocks, one will go in the cab and one will go in the topper. More goodies to come soon!

    I took this nifty little 140w power inverter and flush mounted it into the dash. It has one 110v outlet and one USB outlet. It's great for a laptop or iPad/iPhone. This will be wired into the Blue Sea fuse panel that's powered off of the aux. battery.

    It even has a little built in fan...
