| http://www.zena.net/htdocs/welders/weld_pic.shtml..... this is the one that I am considering for the underhood welder set up...... Im also going to set up a jumper system that runs off the vehicle system, that plugs into a bumper mount setup...... we have them on our jumper trucks at the mine..... | |

| ^^ lmao
there was 1 just like that on trucks a few years ago.. they welded up some part of the outter front axle and it actually held, shocked the hell out of me! they're definitely a good little tool to have on the trail. i can think of dozens of times it would have come in handy | |

| high lift jack, and wood cribbing for blocking vehicles up..... thats a good idea.... i was planning on a high lift jack....and the cooler is in the center console between the driver/passenger seats... holds 2- 6packs, and chills down to 40 degrees farenhieght...... and beer, itll be at the camper at base camp.... no room for alchohol on the trail.... | |

| besides beer needs to be at 34 to 38 degrees for a perfect chilled beer... and that requires the trailer fridge(dont worry about that, 4 24 packs for a 2 day outting) | |

it's not a jeep.. lmao thats the truth... can you imagine as many lights as i could fit on a suburban???? it'd make daytime look dark anywhere within 20 feet of the thing.... but lots of light is a good thing.... im thinking of building some tripod work lights that are 12volt, so i can light up another vehicle, or under one.... | |
