Welcome. A great bunch of people in here. And having another Kentucky member is a great thing! I grew up outside Campton in a little place called Pine Ridge. Been out West for Years but still miss KY.
Decided today it was time for warmer weather, like Tucson and S AZ from Walla Walla Wa. Pack up the Jeep and trailer and head South so ordered front end rebuild parts for my Wrangler. We went up to Idaho this weekend and I’m tired of chasing the darn thing around the lane. It’s a Wrangler so...
Secondary system is the way to go for sure. I tried out engineering the engineers for years and never once was I truly successful. It wasn’t until my wife got MS 17ish years ago that I stopped because she can’t walk out of some Backcountry mountain top and reliability of EVERYTHING became the...
I started out with that exact one and still have it actually. When I took the back seats out and built a deck in my jku I found that the gallon jugs fit perfect in the ‘basement’ so I just carry those for now until I can find the right sized water cell to fit into the desired space...
Here is...
I was a logger for ten years. Ever wondered why loggers T-shirts all have the sleeves cut off them? It isn’t because they are trying to show off their muscles ! Lol.
Yes, TU very much for the info. We just decided to get an Inreach ourselves and this gives us a huge head start in the learning curve of being efficient with new gear.
I tried the inflatables but didn’t like the way they tracked. I have 2 Perception’s, one is a 11 foot Rhythm and the other is a 9.5 foot Matrix. I bought the Matrix off Craigslist for a little bit of nothing and the Rhythm I got from a friend pretty cheap. They track straight and are easy to...
Lol, we had a conversation on the side. I actually had a Jeep when we did the Miata trip. If we can get responsible people out and about and help keep our trails open then heck, we all win. Enough said. Later all.
A simple way to check is to put a load on the circuit. Surface charge will ‘melt away’ very quickly, if it exists, when a load is on the circuit and u get a true reading. I’m not sure how relevant surface charge in the new rigs/batteries etc any more. Mine is a 2009 and I’ve seen just short of...
The red light comes on when ur primary battery get above 12.7 volts, at which time the isolator kicks out and both batteries are charging at the same time. My alternator fully charges at 14.10 volts so the batteries are actually charging together from 12.7 to 14.10. (140 amp alternator) Just...
Yea, I bought a Lithium for my son’s portable ham setup and thought I picked up a demo battery with nothing in it. Couldn’t believe how light it was. You are right I hope, they will come down in price over the next couple years. The setup I have using the agm’s keeps my fridge running, runs...
I have the genesis system as well with a Red top starter and Yellow top secondary. I have acceptable performance out of the system imho... I just saw the date on this string but I’m going to post it anyway because the longevity of my secondary battery (cost of replacement) concerns me if I’m not...
