On the alternator delete you might mention that a deep cycle battery could replace your old battery for only a little more $. Also this mod should pay for itself quite quickly If you are getting 10% better FE! A deep cycle flooded runs $90 - $150 not much more than a good quality starting batt. (120ah $49 at costco at end of summer season clearance)

Love the 50 mods!
