Man those search engines are working overtime aren't they. Amazing how a simple thread can turn into something so big that it is being seen all over the country. Guess it was the title.
Great use of the air conditioner! Please install a fuse on the positive (+) lead from your battery. I've seen what happens when a large (2ga) wire shorts to the body and it involved a large fire and a battery explosion. The car was a total loss.
Oh and as for the inverter heat issue (All the other websights seem to asking.) There isn't one, the unit when running only uses 535 watts of a 2500 watt inverter. It just needs more than 1000 to start the compressor.
Now you gotta think. With all these views one has to be someone working for a big publisher. This could bring lots of good attention to NC and our little wheeling places.
Battery not dead yet, the inverter has a low power shut off, but it only seems to do it if it idles for like 15-20 min. The alternator on it isn't a toyota one. Not sure what it is as I haven't looked real close. Just def not stock. The first owner had a light bar and grille guard on it and at least 3 sets of lights. (3 KC switches still under the dash and wiring still there), so it might be a little higher output. Maybe one of these days I'll get under there and really look...
