    your normal 12v dc will not do anything to you at all. The only thing that should/could zap you would be ignition coils. Getting zapped by a distributor SUCKS!

    i know the feeling there. Its kinda of the same reason manufacturers dont fuse starter cables. They have a pretty high amp draw. What ever fuse your put in will likely blow very very quickly under a good pull

    SOLD Wenzel 7362616 Pine Ridge 5 Dome Tent - 5 Person

    Overland Bound Founding Principles

    The only thing you need to actuall "overland" is a reliable vehicle, the will to get out and explore, and some basic camping supplies. Think of what the settlers did with what they had way back in the day on horses and wagons. They called it life back then, we call it adventure and Overlanding...
