Anyway keep us posted on the progress.  |
Good suggestions. Thanks! Weight reduction should be of more priority for me... Starting now! I have thought about removing the rear seats. I would only do so if I could remove/replace them without too too much difficulty. On my long summer trips I post ads for rideshare, and a seat would be a nice accommodation for my guests
My battery ought to have a good bit of life left in it, which is good so I can decide what I want to do in that area. A smaller battery, perhaps, but that sounds a bit too easy for me. I'm going to research deep cycle units, alternator switches, or maybe even some electrical assistance. Gotta find out what exactly is possible, however ridiculous it may be I'll probably be open to trying it
I can't wait to rideshare this summer, maybe I can recruit a new member or two for the EM crew!
