    Anyone know where to get this power supply gadget

    Also, you can use a nitecore i2/i4/d2/d4 via solar (can be had new for ~$10-30). They have a DC input (2.1x5.5mm barrel jack) meant for a cigarette lighter adapter that they sell. It's rated at 12v 1a. You should be able to connect this to an appropriately sized panel that has a 12v output...

    Multiple vehicles - not wanting to commit to dual battery setup on both

    Hi guys- I can't for the life of me find anything of substance on this on here (or amazon), which in my experience means it doesn't exist or isn't popular.. Is there any simple way to top up another 12v battery without doing a dual battery setup/isolator/whatever? My aux battery + solar +...

    Whynter FM-62DZ dual zone whynter!

    Received mine on Thursday, 9/3 and took it out the following day for three days. It's actually still in the back of my truck running with residual camp beer. Did the job, but the handles and latches are rather disappointing (I know, mods thread). Also very unforgiving on the outer shell...

    Whynter FM-62DZ dual zone whynter!

    After fixing up my new/first garage in my new/first home, I realized that I'd benefit from a mini fridge out there or something for beer purposes when wrenching. This product just solved a couple of issues. Got the 62qt one in first post for $570 before tax - home depot has an additional 10%...

    Camping Storage Box

    Adding for reference seeing so many people liking the Plano XL trunks... I got two of them from Amazon, then saw them in Walmart for like half the price - identical bins in the camo variety. Couldn't cancel Amazon order on time, ah well. They're OK and can hold a lot of things, heavy things...

    Solar powered toolbox boombox/charging station/inverter

    The top handle does and the weatherproof outlet cover both buzz(ed). I used some very thin foam tape leftover from a window air conditioner under both. None of the internals rattle, which is great/lucky. I did have plans to use sound deadening inside, leftover from the doors on my 4runner...

Objective Have an easily transported boombox for camping that also allows me to charge phones, blow up air mattresses, and (version two)...

    Well... now it's almost 5am. I don't even remember when I started reading this, at page 1. Incredible work... wish I had picked up welding a long time ago. Solar, automation, software development, check. Building things out of anything tougher than wood? Not so much. Also another Colorado...

    Megawarrior max width for mounting brackets...

    I'm trying to do one of these numbers on my new Ram 1500 that I had a shell put on. I made the mistake of not telling the shell dealer to install my tracks a little closer together, so from the center slot/groove of each track, it's 47". Has anyone calculated, or is anyone able to calculate...

    Battleship Jones: 2015 Tacoma DCLB Build Thread

    Looked at picture, thought 'Colorado'. Then see Westminster, CO under your name. Then see Mountain States Toyota. Bing Bang Boom. Bought my 2012 Tacoma there (I'm in Denver). Excited to see where you go with this - I had to part ways with my truck since it was a regular cab and struggling...
