Ok I bought some seat covers to keep my seats clean from the kid and ex old lady. They are pretty well made and I plan to install them Sunday. I will add pics then. I also got my dash cover too but i am not installing that till I paint the truck. I got my 12v Cooler and heater this thing is so freaking neat.

52 quart Koolatron, cools 45 to 50 Fahrenheit degrees below the ambient temperature. And I just checked to see how man cans of... um soda pop :whistle: :wink1: It will hold and it holds 80 12 oz. cans :woot:

Those type of coolers are great but remember that they can and will kill the battery. I think in a single battery setup it would take about 8 hours to kill it to a no start situation

I had to install a battery tender to keep my fridge from draining the batteries, last time I left it it took a fuul 48 hours to get to the point where the tender killed the power to the fridge.
 
I haven't used one of those in years. I put a fridge into my truck instead. A friend was using one in a work pickup and it killed the battery in a day. Both of those were older models. Do the newer ones use less juice, or are more efficient? I still have an old one in the garage.

well I got it for a super trip 20 days. It has a AC converter set up so I can take it in a motel. Just thought it would be a good way to save some cash on food. Buy milk, eggs and meat at a store and fix it on grill or the propane stove. This was to be a road trip out west but all is on hold right now.

I used a ice chest several years ago to go to Sturgis, SD and that was a mess the food got wet and didn't keep it very cold. Also my son is on insulin and it has to be refrigerated. 70% of the time the truck would be running except to go to places like mount Rushmore and that is a thirty min thing.
 
For that it should be fantastic. It sucks getting up in the morning and having a dead battery. If your going back to Rushmore and coming through Minnesota on I-90 let me know its like 90 minutes away.

This won't help with medications but; ice chest tip. Get a 4-6 inch deep tupperware that will fit on top of the ice/water.
If something needs to stay frozen, I get a dispo styro chest and use dry ice, and tape it shut. :D
