Babysitting AGMs....what a great way to describe the experience. I agree on the Lithiums....total game changer. I don't even think about power anymore other than the one AGM I have left under the hood...my cranking battery. I keep an eye on it with my battery app which works great. Also...
Hey Russel, sorry for the late reply. I don't keep up with my OB comms very well. Too many comms portals between 4 email addresses, text messages, social media, you name it. I'm about to throw it all in and get me an old school land line!! Anyway, the dual air compressor is loud inside the...
Hey Kent, Sorry I haven't scheduled myself into any slots. Let me know where we're needed and we'll be there! My buddy doesn't get into town until Thursday this week, so we'll plan on coming out on Friday. I'm game for anything you guys need.
Recent update: Just finished a few upgrades to the rig.
1. Installed a new 24 gallon auxiliary fuel tank in the spare tire void.
2. Complete undercarriage cleaning and painting.
3. Removed second battery under hood and relocated a new lithium battery bank with 200AH inside rig next to...
One last thought for the night. The Blue Sea battery management switch ended up failing. I switched out the the RedArc BCDC and it works flawlessly. Also moved this device inside the rig vs under the hood. I'm finding less under the hood of an 80 series is better! Also, ditched the HID...
I am now running a single 31' Northstar AGM for my cranking batter with a hood mounted flexible solar panel that keeps that battery topped off at all times. I removed the other battery under the hood and now use the battery box as an electrical fuse bus base for most of my on-board electrics...
Aloha!
I'm super bad at responding to these threads. As you can see....I'm a few years late!! OMG...I'd kill for that HAM handle. I play the uke also....not very well, but I love the instrument. I've been collecting them over the years and now have about 20 of them! It's a disease...
Lovin’ my new #YodaTech #gullwing window replacement for my #80series #LandCruiser. It now gives me easy access to my #ARBDualAirCompressor. I plan to mount my small first aid kit and air compressor supplies in mollie bags on the gull wing mollie panel. Should make access and organization...
Love the rounds! They look old school, go with the Jeep’s round headlights, and a real advantage is the ability to aim them a little differently…one to reach out far in front and the other aimed slightly down to pick up the obstacles closer to you. You’re going to enjoy driving the trails at...
Thanks for pulling me out of that muddy spot and allowing a new friendship to be formed! I really enjoyed the adventure with you guys!! PS....I made it to the Canadian border as well as the 1,700 mile turn home!! Looking forward to the next great adventure. Hoping to see you guys again soon...
Hi Frank….it’s been many blue moons since I’ve been to a first-Saturday-of-the-month-rigs-n-coffee event. Is this one in place of the former OC Rigs-N-Coffee meet up in Laguna Hills off Mill Creek Road? If so, are you guys planning on holding the RFDOC this coming Saturday?
Thanks for your tip. I really appreciate it. I'm reading up on just about anything Continental Divide. Having some fun mapping out my route on GAIA Maps and my Magellan TRX7 as a back up. I usually just point and go. This planning stuff takes a lot of time. But I am interested in making...
Hey Kent, when you get a chance, will you please send me your GPX file for your route. I'm trying to lay out my own on GAIA GPS and having some fun, but I'd like to overlay your map onto mine to see how close we are.
Hi Haris....welcome aboard from Laguna Beach, CA! This place is one of the best I've found to learn about anything you need to know Overland. It's a great community of people willing to pitch in and help any way they can.
