Great build Jeff, stop bye the shop sometime with it. I'll buy lunch.
Thanks, if I get finished wiring the batteries up tonight I'll come by tomorrow.

I now have two Odyssey PC2150's mounted up charged through a 200 watt isolator.
A National Luna battery monitor for keeping an eye on things...
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! :sombrero:

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...

I have a center console from a Ford Ranger, I don't use the little change holder so I turned the quarter slot into a 12v power socket...

I got to do some more work to the Mazda yesterday.
Installed an external CB speaker near the overhead light...
Installed a Blue Sea fuse panel for incab accessories that's wired to the aux. battery...
Installed a second one in the back, I mounted it in a Radio Shack project box...
Wired in a small inverter for now...
Overhead light...
And this nifty little fan that I found at WalMart...
It folds up out of the way when not in use...

Your truck is looking great! Looking forward to seeing it in person. Keep me posted on any trips
Neat little truck I like the way you have built it. Do you happen to have the specs on that diesel engine? Horsepower and torque in their RPM ranges would be great and since you had it shipped, a dry weight would be fabulous.
I have a jeep TJ wrangler with a gas 4 cyl and I have gotten to the point that I just dont like driving the underpowered slug any more and a small diesel would be great. The 4bt would be nice but its HEAVY.

So I was looking around trying to find some kind of LED flood light that I can shine out the back of my topper that I could easily point anywhere that's needed. I found a couple of ones on line but they were over $45.
We sell bulbs where I work so I started looking around and found a 12v LED MR16 that I figured that I could do something with. I went to Home Depot and found this flexible gas line that would do exactly what I was wanting for $9.
Solder the wires to the posts...
Heat shrink...
The bulbs plastic base will actually thread itself into the end of the fitting very nicely...
This thing is super bright and uses almost no power. You can bend this in any shape needed and it will stay there nice and steady untill your ready to move it back out of the way or into a different position. I'll post pics next week showing how I mounted it and some night shots...

Thanks! It will be mounted inside the topper hanging down from the roof so I can shine it out the back or move it around to shine inside. I'll put up pics when I mount it.

I used a couple of 1/2" pipe clamps to mount it to the topper...
