ArkPak has been installed. http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/18563-Corey-s-2007-FJ-Cruiser-built-for-expedtion-overland-amp-daily-driver?p=1428805#post1428805

ArkPak Installed 9-14-2013 A few years back I bought the Goal Zero Ranger 350 Battery/Inverter kit and it worked out great. Bought five of their three watt LED lanterns too that you can daisy chain off of each other where you just plug one light into the battery only. This year the Goal Zero...

Before I hook this to 110V current to charge the battery, I need info on the battery. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003FFVI8A/ref=pe_385040_30332200_pe_309540_26725410_item The setup on the ArkPak wants you to select amp hour rating, but I am not seeing it in the info on the battery or at Amazon's...

Martin, it came a little after 8 last night. Wall, I saw your other pics in the tent section, very nice. Seems the ArkPak is working out great for you. Besides the mounting kit, I will probably run a cargo strap over the battery and under the cargobox to secure it.

Ed, I thought it said to use the ground strap to the rig too even when charging via the 12V cig outlet, but I may have misread it. Mike, I do not plan on using a ground strap either. I never did with my Goal Zero Extreme 350 Ranger battery/inverter, and it was fine. Although if I test out my...

This would be perfect for a 2nd battery. Mine was waiting for me when I got home, but the battery is on a different UPS truck, strange. My UPS guy is always here by 10 am or so, but the battery must have come in later and put on a different truck that runs a later route. I have assembled the...

Seven more hours until I see my ArkPak and battery :D Going to be a fun weekend messing around with it.

Yep, Amazon. I am addicted to Amazon :D

I feel sorry for my UPS guy tomorrow. Not for the ArkPak, but for the battery as with box it probably will be pushing close to 80 lbs, and he is retiring soon. Thanks Brett for the answer on the charge controller.

My Goal Zero Guardian Charge Controller showed up today, very nice. Smaller than I thought, and smaller than the Brunton one that is installed underneath my hood to keep the stock battery topped off when camping since it runs the ARB fridge. It is not much bigger than a cell phone. When I get...

Just thought of something too. If any of you are running a Powerfilm foldable solar panel like I have and you buy the Goal Zero Guardian Charge Controller like I just bought, you will need one of these cables...

Peak, very good post. I have received some flak on a few other sites about how I should build my own, but I do not have time, and I like how this unit is ready to go except for having to put the battery in it. Brett, do you think your company may be building your own charge controller kind of...

I will have pics if I get around to installing it this weekend. Did you check out their vids on what it powers? http://www.arkportablepower.com/Videos Watch this one during a camping trip. Cute roo's too.

Cool. I have a tracking number, it will be here Friday, same day as my battery. Hopefully the weather holds for a Saturday installation.

PS, here is another item I have been looking at if I want to charge up my ArkPak in the field. http://www.goalzero.com/shop/p/156/Guardian-12V-Charge-Controller/6:5/ The charge controller has battery clips on so you can attach it to the ArkPak, and the solar panel inputs on the controller can...

Mine has shipped, but waiting on my tracking number. Here is something interesting, even though my Goal Zero Ranger 350 battery is toast, the inverter which clips to the side of it is still good, and if I want to, I can use it with the ArkPak just by running the Goal Zero inverter into the...

Thanks, called yesterday, but I knew they would probably not be in due to it being a weekend. I went and ordered the orange Maxtrax ones as that is the only color they had available. Would have preferred the military green or black, but I guess the orange will provide better visibility anyways...

I am pretty sure I paid more for that Black Diamond headlamp I bought several years ago that cannot hold a candle to this Fenix headlamp.

This is one very nice headlamp! I like bright lights so I can see what I am doing, and this unit is very bright. Put it on high and my 200 Lumen Surefire flashlight were about equal with each other. I also have a Surefire 320 lumen model, and it was considerably brighter. Has a very nice wide...

Thanks Kurt, I think I will stick with the tried and true for now.
