Anyone replace their dome bulbs with led's? I'm not looking for whorehouse colored-crap, I just want some good white light.

Changed mine in the Pumpkin a while ago..... Amazon I think. I'll check. Really bright white...... Glad I did it, just need to change the gage lights now and she will be 100% LED

I'm going to try to do a decent job of documenting my mods as I go along (which will be a slow process).

If you see anything you like and want to know more about, just ask.

So here is the first step of the work I am doing to the tuffy drawer. Last go around I just used rubber drawer liner from a tool box. This time I'm getting more sophisticated. This is matting from a stand up paddle board. It is high density, sheds water, but still has good shock absorption.

Step two will be block foam of the same type to hold a specific firearm of my choosing.

Might have to try these. The ones I got from northridge are not that bright and they broke a few time already

They always have coupon codes and sales too. Im not a big fan of the open element leds. I like mine sealed. They have some that are brighter too. I only wish you can change the rearview mirror lights
 
Just caught up on this build. Congrats Sharkey! All this time I just assumed Shark Tank was a thread about a stupid TV show - boy, was I wrong. Awesome Jeep! Following.

Awesome! Definitely going to check them out now!
 
nice work! well, this just made my decision to make my own deck. I've been looking at storage decks and just can't justify the prices.

now I think someone mentioned they had some extra wood (I'm not that way but not that there's anything wrong with it) is it already precut? :cheesy:


:naw: guess no one got the Seinfeld refernce :doh:

Playing around with the panel today. With a phone and computer plugged in, I could run indefinitely. Can't wait to get my arb and test it out.

The Nomad 20 is rated for 20 watts. I'm getting 10-13 at mid-day sun. My plan is to get three more. I should be able to get a pretty steady 40-50 watts on sunny days which should charge the Yeti 400 back up after running the ARB through the night.

You might have posted, what's the expected charge life of the yeti with the arb before having to recharge?

Until I try I can't really say. I suppose I could work it out mathematically and get an estimate. But, I think the ARB may not have a constant draw so the math would be imperfect.

Well done sharkey. Love that built in storage in the rear with the pelican cases. I've never even heard of that solar goal zero thing but it is awesome and got me super curious now. [emoji106]🏼
 
Sharkey I just got an email alert for a sale on Goal Zero products. Check out DVOR.com. I've gotten some good deals from them before on gunsmithing tools. I'm not familiar with Goal Zero so I don't know how good the prices are.

I love that rear cargo deck. Next year when I buy my Jeep I'm going to have to put one in. Thanks for all the great pictures on how to do it.
 
Just wondering....

Are you and the MTG going to head out to the Ultra 4 Nationals that are in town (Reno) this weekend? I am still stuck overseas and will not be home until next Thursday, so I am out.
