Fibrobec Spacekap I wanted to make a thread dedicated to Spacekap info. These are very cool fiberglass truck tops, and I was in the market for something like this when I discovered them on craigslist. I finally bought one to fix up and build into a part time camper, but leading up to that, I...

this is a new enough thread to drop a reply to I hope, but on this same topic I was looking for a good option that allows for customization without having to deal with little things to make a regular cap feel complete, along with the pain of trying to figure out if a cap is compatible with my...

nothing to note. It is my daily driver and approaching 180k miles now. It has been trouble free in the 45k miles I've put on it. Doing front pads and rotors soon as I get some free time. Tires are wearing very well in my opinion, and I won't hesitate to get the same ones next time. Any questions...

true, though it has an extra foot of wheelbase and .4" less of ground clearance. If that isn't a problem, definitely a lot more interior room!

Actually, mine look just like the ones in the link only orange. Mine do not unfold, but I think they connect together to make a longer single rather than 2 short ones.

They are similar to this...

Good point on the voltage drop. I will see what I find for wiring. If anything, I can run a thicker wire from the drivers foot well to the rear cargo area, once I find the circuit in the vehicle.

Probably from where they shouldn't. I'm grateful for all the storage this thing has. I loaded it for my trip to vermont, but I think I am going to leave it stocked like this full time. Nothing in there is too heavy to worry about. Better safe than sorry. Power inverter held in place with...

Thanks! Yes, I agree. I stated wanting to use about 200w, which with the vehicle running, should be just under 15A.

good eye. I have noticed the 100/120w limitation listed, but I can only guess that is due to the inverters limits/losses. The circuit is on a 20A fuse, so the entire circuit must be able to handle 20A. In my original post I posted the diagram, but I cut it down to isolate the inverter circuit...

thanks for the response. I will give it a go and see what happens. I'm having some doubts about whether or not all the wiring is present, but I will look into that tomorrow. Here you can see the area I have free if I go the battery route:

So three things I want to discuss: adding a 20A circuit for a small inverter, what that circuit can power, and possibly talk about adding an aux battery to my vehicle. My vehicle is a Lexus rx400h, you can read about it here...

that's a shame toyota didn't include front recovery for you. I would guess there is something to hook onto underneath then?

What year sienna? For the RX it has a tow bolt/eye bolt that screws into the front bumper. You can see 2 squares inside the fog lights where the bolt goes, but it is kept with the hitch otherwise. I bought another bolt so if needed I can hook up 2 recovery points up front.

Last week I packed the RX and headed to Vermont. Was a great trip! Loved the roads in VT. Long and unoccupied, fast and curvy. But the high speed turns and the unpaved rutted out sections got me thinking about suspension. There is definitely some lean through the turns that make me uneasy, which...

Didn't know the 3.5 went to a timing chain, that's definitely a nice thing, especially when looking at used cars without access to service history.
