Hi there. This is a stock shot of Dumar's MegaTredz electric ride.

I'll have shots of car up as soon as I get them off my phone.

It's a pretty cool story about how I got a hold of it. My girlfriend's work had it in the storage room along with 3 other electric cars (Dumar Pontiac Solstice Disney Princess Edition, Power Wheels Dora Quad, Power Wheels Jeep Wrangler Beach Barbie Edition). After talking with the manager there, my girlfriend and I scored all 4 vehicles for only $300. We gave her daughter the Wrangler and I get to keep the FJ Cruiser. As for the Solstice and Quad, we're customizing them and we'll see where they go from there.

We have several ideas possible, but we are also
open to any ideas that everyone else out there may have.
We would like to hear from you about what you have in mind.
Please sign the guestbook. All ideas will be considered.

So what is the plan? It's very fluid right now, but the most recent design is as follows:

Storage/Seating: A super lightweight box that fills in the back half of the cabin from the rear door frame back. It will be open in the back and accessable through the rear gate. The top of the box will support 1 adult. The seat itself is a sling base format. To keep the kids size feel to it, the box is be designed to look like Ryoga's backpack. (Ranma 1/2 for you anime fans out there) The "factory" seats have been removed to accommodate the modification. They will be reused as seats for kids to sit in during shows or whenever.

Lighting: LED lighting will take care of the lighting for the cruiser. Headlights, Running lights, Turn Signals, Reverse Lights, Interior lights, Undercar Lights. Control will be done by membrane switches installed into the steering wheel and on a custom dashboard.

Body Kit: A fiberglass bodykit will give exterior styling. The design is most likely a bigmouth style body kit with bushwacker styling details. Don't forget Ryoga's fang. Of course a grille. Drawings to follow.

Dash: The dash will be restyled a bit to make it easier to shift while driving for an adult. It will be moved right next to the steering wheel on the right side. The battery meter will be moved to the left of the wheel. The modifications will also allow for a DIN radio to be installed. Another potential will have a DVD installed instead with the faceplate rewired to the dash for security as well as adding some visual appeal to the dash.

Audio / Video: An indash monitor/receiver will provide the primary entertainment sourse. It will have multiple sources for further variety in music abilities. A 2nd monitor will be under the hood. Speakers will be either on the "interior" side of the seat box or as box speakers that will replace the mirrors. A 2nd set of speakers will will consist of 6x9s. They will be on the very rear of the cruiser. What a noisy butt that will be {>.<} lastly, I don't know if it belongs here, but I guess you could call it audio o_O A horn that oinks!

HVAC: Yes there will be HVAC! Venting isn't an issue. {>.<} Heating and Air Conditioning will be done with Thermal Electric Coolers (TECs) 40mm fans and linear heat sinks through ducting made of 1.5" flexible hose.

Security: A security system will be installed for when the vehicle is not in use.

Power: Provided by 3 batteries. 2 batteries will power the FJ and the third battery will power the accessories. Charging will be taken care of by an onboard charging system.

Accessories: P-chan Steering wheel, Scarf steering column with turn signal control, A shift knob made of bamboo, Pig-tail "antenna", Scarf graphics around the body, P-chan ears windshield "wipers", P-chan "blossom" foot pedal.

Drivetrain: Heatsinks and/or fans will cool down the motors for reduced wear. Additional speed will not be added to this car since it will be used mostly for shows and conventions where there are a lot of people.

Keep an eye on here for more updates. Jya ne!
