I think most lithium batteries are compatible with RedArc BCDC chargers. If you regularly see temps below 0 degrees F, especially when camping/overlanding, I look at the LiTime batteries with an internal heater. Or any higher quality heated lithium battery.

How cold are you talking? There are LiFePo4 batteries that will charge down to -4F now. LiTime comes to mind. They also have self-heating options. I would think your RedArc would keep you from changing a cold battery. Also, if you need to charge it on a really cold day/night, since it will be in...

I am curious what lighting you all have put in and on your rigs. I am working on building out a couple vehicles and am working on wiring and auxiliary power. I would like to do some future proofing while at this stage. The vehicle that I am putting the most work into right now is a Jeep Grand...

Sadly, I noticed back in early February that my "Explore More" sticker is trying to part ways with my Jeep. Since I had only had it on there for about 4 months, I am wondering if I did something wrong. Maybe it should have been a warmer day when I affixed it to the rear glass? Maybe I did not...

My inner geek needs details.

I took a quick look at a line loss calculator and it looks like #4 wire should serve you well, as long as you stay under a 10' run.

Thank you. I had not considered the height issues. I like the idea of using a hiking/backpacking air pad, but my wife would like something thicker. I am probably not going to be able to kill two birds with one stone, and will end up with separate solutions for sleeping in and out of the Grand.

I am looking to purchase an air mattress to use in the back of the WJ (2001 Grand Cherokee). My wife and I may end up using it outside of the Jeep too. Does anyone have experience with the Pittman Outdoors AirBedz? Or have any other recommendations?

Woah! Sounds like everyone walked away and hopefully no permanent injuries. Are you doing a build thread for the LX450?

Some of the kiddos, my wife and I have spent our free time the past couple days testing the capabilities

Bought a new rig this afternoon. 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I spent several hours driving around getting used to it. Now it is time to start making plans to upgrade it.

LOL. I would argue that you are still too close to civilization, especially if that arrives piping hot.

What is that solar setup you have there? And where are your panels? Also, nice kitchen setup. I especially like your pantry in that second photo. (-;

Hello from Central Kansas. Welcome to Overland Bound.

Simple and clever. I like it. I am going to have to this a try.

Isn't that where YouTuber DAllMyD does most of his diving, or at least dives there often?

No doubt. Dakota Digital makes a speedometer that is calibrated via GPS, but it is a little pricey.

Last thing of significance was a Champion all aluminum radiator, electric fans, and aluminum shroud. My next shopping cart will likely hold either tires or weather stripping for the doors and windows, door jamb switches, replacement cab floor pans, and properly sized gas cap.

You are probably not going to find it in an overlanding rig, but I recently read that there are some vehicles, BMW(?), that have lasers in the wheel wells that track tire size and automatically adjust the speedometer.

I have read of a couple people doing something similar on DIY Solar Power Forum.
