The second 42 gallon tank really helped with that killer talk time and if I am on the phone for more than a few minutes I get a great buzz from the diesel fumes.

I also added a mild-mannered Rockford Fosgate Power 2000 amplifier with a set of 18" Fosgate subwoofers and Kenwood Excellon mids and highs, for listening to my calls with "speakerphone." For a microphone I just use a slightly modified bull horn. Comes in handy when someone cuts my phone off in traffic because I can use the siren sound to let them know I am upset with them.

Though my Mogul doesn't fit in my pocket anymore, or my garage, I really like the ability to talk without worry of my battery draining on me. Next I am thinking of getting a set of 26" chrome rims for the generator and maybe some hydraulic action....
*GASP!*

18" Fosgates? I wish my phone was that pimped out...
