just FYI, on the hood stuff, i just used some i got from home depot and it works great, it's not a place that requires a complicated weatherstrip setup. you can see it here:

this is still avail. if no one wants it, i'm going to put it on craigslist. after that it gets recycled.

@NLXTACY, EOE_Overland - well, technically, i _could_ isolate them. it would be work, but i could do it (i would make sure that nothing on the circuits from that battery grounded to the chassis, but rather a ground i rand directly from the battry), that's why i was asking if they should share a...

hm. mine is out the side too. just under the rear driver side door, in front of the tire. exhaust goes right around and in the back window. :(

man, i really like those cargo windows. would be so cool to open my windows. :(

@nuclearlemon - so where'd you route your exhaust to, to escape the fumes from the back window?

oy. seriously, who cares? what's wrong with customizing your rig until it looks like a fxxxing tomato? personally, i just ripped apart my entire dash. i pull my s***ty pad off, and all the other bullsh!t. i'm going to replace a bunch of stuff with carbon fiber, and i ordered haneline gauges, and...

@nuclearlemon - where did you reroute your exhaust to? i have the same problem when my back window is down.

sucks. you'd think it would be readily available and manufacturers would be making it by the ton.

Hi all, I'm going to try my hand at redoing my dash with carbon fiber. There are a couple good online resources for supplies, but i was wondering if anyone knew of any good local places in los angeles? googling returned nothing, which seems strange, so maybe someone on here knows of a place. -b

how big is it? it looks pretty large. ideally i'd like to fit one next to the 12v, so i have about 2" height to play with.

Hi all, Not sure where to post this, since there's no electrical forum. I am going to drop a couple inverters in my FJ55. on the one in the front, i want to put a single gang 110 plug on my dash. i've done some googling and i haven't been able to find any. basically, what i want is the 110...
