Oh yeah, and Merry Fawking Christmas! :flipoff2:
ironpig70 12-25-2005, 09:49 AM well you suck cause that doesn't help me in the least bit:flipoff2: cause i drive an fj40.
thanks the elctrical wiring helps. and merry christmas:D i'd prefer the switch in the cab versus under the hood. easy to kill the batteries incase of fire or roll over or to jump start ones self. looks good thought.

Sorry to hear that! :flipoff2:

I put it under the hood in the location it is in as a hopefully addition of theft deterrent. When its parked somewhere shady, the switch will be in the off position. Sure, its not rocket science to figure it out, but hopefully by the time the thief figures it out, i already got 2-3 good whacks with my louisville on him! :D :D :D
ironpig70 12-25-2005, 10:50 AM i guess with your cruiser its harder to open the hood than an old fj40:D i'm thinking about using a "keyed" battery selector switch. it uses a key similar looking to an "old" cat key crossed with a freezer key. figure i can turn it off and take the key with me. even with the keys in the ignition it won't start:D
Boston Mangler 12-25-2005, 10:58 AM Yeah, i thought of using one of those too but had my heart set on the Blue Seas brand and they dont make one yet. Oh well!

heard of guys using the arb coolers as a freezer and taking ice cream with them. kinda nice addition to a rig. some day i'll be set up for such expedition but i think my rig is a little wide:D

NW-sickboy 12-26-2005, 07:06 PM off topic but where you headed in baja? I did the whole drive last year and loved it. By far the best road trip ever taken.

No where extreme. Just heading to the hot springs of Guadalupe Canyon, about 3 hours south:
