Stumptaco's has gone over to the darkside..XJ style.

[Nathant78]

what kind of battery do you have in the back?

 

[StumpXJ]

A red top Optima, like I have in the front now. I used to have a deep cycle, but I decided to run both red tops. The rear battery runs my rear winch, inverter, 2 12 volt plugs, and MV-50 compressor for if the CO2 runs out...

Whats your GPS you use?

 

[StumpXJ]

You mean the receiver? Its a Global Sat BU353. Works great, I use it with my laptop, and various bits of mapping software, Delorme, NatGeo, Google Earth, TopoFusion, etc.

Ok, I was thinking the thing on your roof was just an antenna and then you had the receiver in the cab. Thats a pretty neato set up. I'm looking at ditching the XJ in favor of a truck in the near future and want to have some sort of navigation system in it and this seems like a really affordable solution, and with my netbook that I already have it won't take up too much space.

Inside of the Jeep is complete!

Yep, definitely havent seen anything like those, I know the ones you are talking about. Still got a fair amount of work to do, but itll be ready in a couple weeks. Sheep wallow sounds fun now...

What's going on this weekend?

TruckLite gave me a set of their new 7" LED headlights and Chris Lewis and I are going to install them in his JK and try them out tomorrow after work. Other than that, the weekend is open due to our campng rain-out...

What toys? He told me about the deathwobble...

We did our taxes the first week of Feb. I was surprised that we're getting money back.

Sorry I am new to this stuff, but all it takes is that reciever and the software into the laptop? I lookd on amazon and found this reciever for $35 and a quick search for topo maps there is a year subscription for $30. Again sorry for a newb question, but I figured it was just easier going straight to the source instead of hours of searching the web.

 

[StumpXJ]

Pretty much thats it. I use my phone as a hotspot for internet based maps, and use the downloadable maps for when I dont have cell service. There are tons of things you can do with it though!

Am i seeing this right... Is that a tablet above the inclinometer/compass and some kind of tv screen stereo unit towards the bottom of the center dash..

 

[StumpXJ]

I have a TFT monitor in the dash for my front and rear cameras (you can see the front of my camper on the screen in this shot, as I was towing it on the way to a camping trip), and the occasional DVD if im bored somewhere. Tablet? There is a laptop in the main portion of the photo... the blue thing above the inclinometer is a parking tag for my old job, hanging off the super cool 'lanechanger' mirror.

Here is a different picture (with an older laptop) that may help...
