There is no way you are getting the visionX ones for that cheap, their 4 led lights are $450. You might be getting the cheap chinese ones for that, but it is my understanding that they are no where as bright, and they don't last at all, they overheat quick. |

The rigids hold a killer warranty and we've yet to have an issue. I plan on running the 4 LED version for rock lights on my toyota soon! They have under water test, shoot it with a gun, and the amp draws are still very small! The visions you got, my cost was $75 each last I checked into them. We stock 30-40 at a time. We typically put them in Tahoes for alley lights on our police vehicles. Last edited by RcBro; 08-19-2010 at 07:58 PM. | |

Very cool idea Jason.... Only thing I can suggest is start off kinda simple, as these things can get out of hand and never get finished or worse yet run into a host of problems...... A local guy made one similar (was a small cargo truck).....he just routed the truck AC into the cab.....then wired up some really cool batteries (golf cart), then made an inverter system......he then just left the truck running most of the day as a generator/ac system....worked pretty good and wasn't as noisy. Since your only driving it so often once done, the motor can take it pretty easy and you can give it breaks with the golf cart batteries(I have these in my toy hauler, they are amazing). I have an idea for a donation, PM or email me and we can talk about it.... Later EddieO |

Just make the backglass removeable so when you get to camp all you have to do is unbolt it and install a panel that has the a/c unit built in. That way you dont look redneck on the way up there and it wont be in the way.  |

In the last meeting Dezfan and I agreed we would Donk this bitch out Jason. What gives? We made a tight budget for this upgrade. I say leave the guts alone. Badger doesn't need carpet, he still pees the bed, just spray it out.

An awning would be cool. We put one of these (used) on a friends rig a couple years ago. It worked great, adn yo ucan use the rack on top to haul more crap! http://www.thule.com/en-GB/GB/Produc...es/327000.aspx Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9cp22nW5GY We picked up the used one for about $300, new they run $6-800 EDIT: Forgot another option, pretty cheap, but havent ever seen one personally. http://www.cartopcamper.com/index_files/SUV_Awning.htm Last edited by mxracer33x; 08-20-2010 at 01:07 PM. |

I've actually seen a truck with the cartop thing.....it was suprisingly sturdy and looked pretty easy to install and setup/teardown....sure would be a nice option to have. You could just put a little hatch door in that side of the van for power, usb, etc hookups..... Later EddieO |

Today I took the van up north and had Slowrockr do an alignment, it drove a lot better on the way home. Tomorrow it's getting a new windshield, and I may try to work on the inside. Damn, that is slick, Aaron you see this? I think we can do something similar. Quote:
