Hidden power inverter

[demesauce]

So after installing my 23 gal rear tank, I finally got around to removing my aux tank (which I am trying to sell). So then I though, what I am gonna do the the filler neck and gas cap. I like the look of the 2 caps. So after tinkering around, here is what I came up with: put a power inverter in place of the aux gas cap. And here is what I did:

That is pretty sweet, how large of an inverter is that? Just curious what kind of stuff you'll now be able to power in camp. I have wanted to install an inverter in my rig for years. I carry a small inverter that doesn't deliver a ton of power but will run a laptop, charge cameras, etc. Handy for when you have electronics that only have AC chargers.

I installed a Cobra 880 inverter. But used very large cables so that I could install a larger one, later on.

Thats sweet. I had one in my old scout that i could run a sawsall and drill. This is back before the good bat operated tools came out. It was pretty cool to pull out a coffee maker and brew up a pot on the hood on a cold morning.

Re: Hidden power inverter

So where did you put the inverter itself? everyone know space is at a premium in a 4x4. I had mine in the engine compartment but know that is not the best place because of heat.

That is really cool. way to go demesause. When I needed one it wasnt for tools, chargers, or a coffee pot. It was so my wife could use here breast pump on the road. Lucky for her it was in my F350 not my Bronco.
