    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Sexy, I just use handheld ham and scanner. I want a mounted option but just too out of my league for what I would use it for, but great job on the CC. But I do have a mounted CB rig atleast.

    Goal Zero Yeti 400 Solar Generator Experience?

    Go to goal zero direct. FYI it shows you what NOT to buy. They have metro racks lining the south side of the warehouse. Everything there is clearance, IE referbed. What I seen a ton of... panels. Jesus holy crisco... I think I spotted several dozen panels of all sizes/ types. the next thing was...

    ARB fridge install?

    The configured vertically thing is something Goal zero did so the end user would not put an input to an output. Its smart for people who do not know what they are doing. I follow ARES/RACEs configuration for my pairing. But The grooves suck if you buy a "standard off the shelf" Anderson as they...

    ARB fridge install?

    I made it back to goal zero this afternoon. Here is the Anderson they are using. The grooves on the inner piece is not the issue, it is the outer hood as it prevents normal power poles from fitting. They also let on that they are going to discontinued the MC4 cable all together as they are...

    What Jacket do you wear?

    I have maybe 10 or so TAD jackets collected over 10 years, from Rangers, Stealths, Robin, to the Scepter, and a bunch I can not think of right now, they did make a quality products and likely still do but on my last Ranger order when it said made in USA on one tag and china on another, and the...

    ARB powered by Solar Panels

    I assume that is a 100 suitcase? If so, how does everything hold a charge? I still cant beleive the market these with a 20 or 30 watt panel. It would never charge if you use a decent amount of power (like our fridge). FYI I just picked up a yeti 400 as well for my ARB and camping power, going...

    ARB fridge install?

    Never seen the before, but the insides of both the hood and the contact support are ribbed with 4 or so grooves. I was only able to find one photo of them on Google images... If I get time to get back into the store, I'll snap a better photo to explain it more but this give an idea.... The red...

    ARB fridge install?

    Just received the Yeti about 40 minutes ago and had to try it out. First did the simple stuff. Charged a phone via USB, easy.. my daughters phone drew 4 watts. Then I did the same with an AC to USB converter and test the inverter. With just the inverter on and nothing plugged in it drew 6 Watts...

    Homemade Solar Shower

    Just curious, if you could have put a T on it and capped the T? This would eliminate a lot of the height concern, and I think make it look cleaner? But defiantly following this. Keep us updated.

    ARB fridge install?

    I know, tell me about it. When I made the first cut and realized what I was dealing with I almost shit. I was super worried that the shields were all tied to ground. Luckily not the case. As for the cables... just an example of the different from the alligator clip coax vs the MC4 wiring...

    ARB fridge install?

    UPDATE!!! And its a good one. First, everyone has issues, and I found the reason why alot of the input cables are out of stock at Goal Zero. Its the new lithium yeti's fault. I personally think it was a design issue with a few things prior but the litium yeti brought it to head. But If you want...

    ARB fridge install?

    The 110 has a Inverter to change the 12VDC to 110AC. This is a circuit card that does it thru a series of capacitor charge/ discharges, transformers, and other things All of this takes power to work and there is an efficiency loss as well. There is also usually a fan to cool the circuit in...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Defiantly new design. The old design had the plat mount right to the carrier. Had some countersunk hard backwards thru the box then the plate was held by nylock nuts from the outside. EDIT to add, your hinge nut is uber loose. Maybe it was just a fit check photo at the time. But just to be...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Dude WTF, after all that work, what happened that isn't repairable? Im really wondering now... hopefully it is not too hard to discuss but considering you brought it up, I take it as it is not. I understand the broken leg reference, but Im lost on this brother.

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Is that the new design license plate mount??? Interesting. Also, the trasharoo can be lashed on, but I do like the buckle for ease of removal and for cleaning when needed.

    ARB fridge install?

    FYI 8MM is the input, 6MM the output. You can buy the harness with the exact connection you want, it may just cost a good deal more. If you have access to anderson power pole or other connections of choice, you can build your own, but to get started you may spend ALOT of tools/ contacts/ plugs...

    ARB fridge install?

    Keep it all DC, more efficient, and that is what he did as well. No AC involved.

    UTAH - Squaw Peak Road to Hobble Creek Canyon (July 1st)

    Okay... Made a quick video with a few higlights that I found scanning thru a few gig of videos... First. We all know it was dusty, so that affects the light on the windshield. But I think I got some good stuff in here. Ill add a opening scene and music later, just too busy to do much now. At...
