thanks guys -- work in progress like all our trucks.

Portager -- remember the smoke I mentioned earlier in the thread (from the Gold Mnt trip). I thought it was my blower motor frying...I was under the truck re-routing some cables and hoses recently and it was a vent tube for the rear ac unit (which I pulled out a while back to make room) and it hadcome loose and melted against the exhaust pipe. I should have known it was melting rubber from my rubber cement sniffing days!

I also got a little bit of spare time to get some work done on the truck -- though only steps 1 through 3 of a 10 step list of stuff I want to do!

-I added a marine battery tender so when the truck is parked for long periods of time the batteries won't take a pooper with all the electronic doohickies sucking on them.

-I had a master battery kill switch installed where the glove box used to be and finally put the lower close-out panel on the hole where the ac used to connect. The panel my upholstery guy made to replace the glove box is where I will mount future switches to control the airbags and deployable stripper pole.

-in the new empty space where the glove box used to be I mounted my new manifold/solenoid chingus to control the airbags. I will replace all the lines with braided and run them through the access hole already in the floor where the old ac lines used to be (yay -- no cutting the floor open)

-Lastly, a 12v socket was added to the rear for the fridge

So what are the other 7 things on your list? Hopefully trying all these new chingaderos out on the trail is on there somewhere.

-solar/management system (3rd batt?)
