[@OverlandNomad]

💪🏼💪🏼

[@pwlyons759]

Why not put a solar panel on the roof?

[@adamb7426]

Interesting idea!! That's a beautiful truck...Clean that engine!! You know its gonna cause problems. 👍

[@OverlandNomad]

Definitely gonna clean it 🧽

[@sloshyjoe]

That actually looks nice

[@OverlandNomad]

Agreed!!

[@grn9209]

Using a panel like that here in the desert 🏜 would definitely keep battery 🔋 topped off 👏🏼

[@OverlandNomad]

I’m sure it would!💪🏼

[@victorvela2223]

Dope video as always 🤟🏻

[@johndiaz7240]

Good job 👍 looks great

[@OverlandNomad]

Thanks brotha!!

[@briannewton457]

Great video. I want to get one of these. Wish they made them for the rood! Might be able to get close to 150w or atleast over 100w. Great video regardless.

[@FishermanATX]

Wow! That's pretty cool 👍👌

[@OverlandNomad]

💪🏼💪🏼

[@ducluv]

Thank you for the video. Also, I would recommend using a 3m promoter as well before applying the tape. This will help greatly.

[@TheOverlandGolfer]

I've had this idea in mind since the Silverback! Sweet!

[@avpr1c]

I need to find a solar panel like this but for the newer Tundra with the hood scoop

[@OverlandNomad]

That’s a good point didn’t think about that…

[@physicalstarfighter2131]

So after you installed your panel is it still working fine? I installed a cascadia panel and I’ve gone through 3 of them on my JK. Cascadia has excellent customer service but replacing 3 of them so far is disappointing. The cascadia website says heat is not a issue but every panel I have installed has developed shorted cells. it’s on the hood of my JK Which generates a lot of heat in the Arizona sun. The current panel I have installed now lasted about 2 to 3 months and now it has a shorted cell I have contacted them and they have been very kind about replacing it or even a refund but I’m gonna run this panel for a while longer to see how long it last but they do have good customer service second to none.

Would of look better on the roof I have the same headlights on my 2011 tundra

[@1116albie]

How does it do in a carwash?

[@OverlandNomad]

Can’t tell you yet and also I have the bed rack so not planning on going through it. That tape is really tough tho

[@jeffwatson8400]

Another great product review as usual. I'm interested in seeing the follow up review in the summer to see the output at full South Texas sunlight. Also comparing the Lensun app to the display on your Blackfire 1500. Did you consider running the fridge off the Blackfire considering it has a Lithium Ion battery and a built in MPPT charge controller? Just a thought

[@OverlandNomad]

Thanks Jeff! I did, but I don’t plan on always having the Blackfire in the truck. And the fridge I’m planning on running is half the size of the ICECO. I could always wire the solar panel to a power station like the Blackfire but I would like to add a 200w solar panel on the roof for the power station. We will see👍🏼
