Has anyone installed one of these to use while mobile / out and about?

Definitely have gotten some ideas to start with. We are planning on getting a new tent since the old tent is a bit small for us. So it looks like I'll be investing in a few things :). Tomorrow night I'm going to hit a few stores to see if anyone has any of the various products on hand so I...

Sorry I should have clarified a bit.. We slept in a tent not in the truck. (frankly sleeping in the truck would have been more comfortable as we were not prepared for the 40 degree temps last week at night)

My wife and I spent a week camping out of the truck last week. It's been about 20 years since I have done anything like this and thought I was "ready".. After the first night I just about gave up and went to a motel. We spent the our days exploring Michigan's Upper peninsula driving the...

What size cable would you use? The guy at the stereo shop just told me 4 gauge would work.

This was also a suggestion from the service writer and Mechanic at the dealership who did the repairs. It is a 9YRO truck so it could have just failed on me. Being that it's my SAR truck and several days a week my wife's bloodhound lives in the truck it is important to me that it's safe...

I am not sure if I am posting this in the right place.. I had a dual battery set up in my truck.. (01 Suburban) My set up was using a standard battery and an optima yellow top. I was combing them using a solenoid rated at 300amps. running the battery cable from the primary battery to the...

I've got the conterra dual radio harness and I use it for my vx8r and also a kenwood tk2180 at the same time.

Nothing for perks in Michigan. I set up some discount programs with our local outdoor companies who are interested but thats it. Then again nothing beats the feeling of a succesful SAR mission returning someones loved one to them.

Congrat's on the first meeting! Good luck! Remember SAR is about the victim. You'll have a lot of fun, you will sweat, cry, bleed and be sore. Just always keep focused on the victim and you'll be rockin!

Can you tell me how you painted your rims? I've seriously been considering doing the same thing on my suburban so I don't have to spend the money on new rims :)

The credit for the radio console goes to: 02TahoeMD he provided me with the info about his.. I'll snap a few more pictures of the unit soon. Also an update: Laptop was mounted in tonight! :) I still need to get some software updated / installed and the Laptop GPS needs to be installed...

Yes actually I'm the director. My wife just became a K9 (bloodhound) handler so we bought the truck as a way to transport all of our needed gear along with me being able to handle the intial phases of a SAR incident from my truck. Our command truck can be pretty slow to get on site (its an...

A few things you'll notice.. In my original post several things were not even completed yet. The pictures I posted from today have some things started. The following things are started or done.. - Warning Lights installed. I have lights in the front, rear and sides. - Radio...
