Check out the front page of naxja. The rig of the year is on it and its probably the sickest camping jeep ive ever seen.

im gonna be doing a dual battery setup when i figure that all out. i want one to just start the car and run the stock stuff. and i want the other to run auxiliary lights and the system. that way i always have a backup and can start the car. dumping music sitting by a fire is sooo much fun. state parks... keep it quite but play good music and u have all sorts of girls dropping by
