    Dstock's M101A1 build... or the reality, I needed a new project!

    I had hoped this update would be showing the new Diamondback bed cover, but alas, Fedex did not deliver as promised this past Monday. The Fedex site also now shows that it has been flagged "damaged cleared", which according to the fine folks at Fedex means the packaging is damaged but the...

    Father and Son's Off Road Expedition Trailer build

    Looking good!! Nice job. I've got a ladder extension I bought but never used for my CVT Mt. Shasta. Looks like it's similar to your ladder. PM me if interested.

    Father and Son's Off Road Expedition Trailer build

    Looking good! Give the Max Coupler a try for a bit. I hook mine up all the time by myself and my trailer is no lightweight either. If you can't slide the pin in easily, just raise or lower your tongue jack slightly and it will slip right in. Once you do it a couple times it's a piece of...

    Dual Battery Solar Setup - Start Batt Not Charging

    If it's not holding a charge with no load, it's toast. I'd start by replacing it before looking for drains as you likely don't have any abnormal drains, just a bad battery. As Joe917 mentioned multimeter is the way to go.

    Dual Battery Solar Setup - Start Batt Not Charging

    Did you have the start battery load tested? Also, after being charged up, does it hold the charge overnight with no loads attached? I would also check for drains on the start battery, perhaps you have a short on the Astro. Regardless, I would swap out the low gauge wire to at least match the...

    Dstock's M101A1 build... or the reality, I needed a new project!

    Pulled the trigger on a Diamondback SE bed cover this morning. I really wanted to try to build my own but I need something before the end of June. Work has been nuts lately, running into the weekends, so time is at a premium right now. This will enable me to camp for a week outside of Boulder...

    Frige use in a bear locker

    Guess it depends on the campground/host, never had an issue in and around the Mammoth area campgrounds.

    Frige use in a bear locker

    I keep mine in the Jeep, throw a beach towel over it and use a 100 watt solar panel to keep things charged if we aren't driving around. I think the only campground that doesn't allow that is Yosemite.

    IBS or Blue Sea?

    All the Diehard Platinums have been discontinued, I had 2 group 34's and the first one last less than 3 years. I now have a yellow top Optima in it's place. When the second one goes, I will probably replace with another yellow top. Kind of done with the fancy batteries for now.

    IBS or Blue Sea?

    My alternator in the JK puts out 160amp and this is only rated to 120amps. I'd check your alternator output.

    are two 5 lb propane tanks enough? do you ever run out?

    What he said! Fire Restrictions are the norm here with the ongoing drought, which simply means if you aren't in a campground, you aren't lighting a traditional campfilre anywhere.
