I have seen hundreds of items for sale here since this Expedition Portal was introduced. There are almost always comments about the price and rude ones from members who have no intention of purchasing. I hear that. And the problem is growing at an alarming rate on Expedition Portal. Trolling...

You are very welcome Sir. Your rig looks to be a fantastic buy for someone looking for a turn key solution to get out there for some off grid adventure. BTW the 7.3 IDI ford diesel is arguably the most reliable engine ever put into a truck. I have seen these engines take a beating in fleet...

Hello Sir and welcome to the forum. You are not the problem here and should not apologize no matter how much you are asking for your rig. I have been around this forum since it's inception and can tell you that it has went downhill with some of the members here. Unfortunately the members who...

And if you really want to mess things up try using North American 60 HZ frequencies on delicate audio and video equipment. When I was in the generator industry we had to adjust our HZ on the generators to accommodate foreign performers equipment. It was a very difficult process to get it just...

Glad you got you Jackery issue worked out John. As far as the weather, I remember from Billings Montana to Yellowstone to the Grand Tetons was the strangest weather I have ever run across. Snowing in June frozen lakes and cloud patterns that do a huge circle from blazing hot to freezing in a...

Kind of off topic but I always wanted to see a hungry African lion and grizzly right out of hibernation going at it in a fight. I don't think the lion would stand a chance.

We always said 208 to indicate a single phase circuit. In reality it's about 240. Temporary power and generator service speak....

It depends on how many amps the outlets are. Most standard household outlets are 15 - 30 amps. I always made mine out of minimum 12/3. To be totally safe then 10/3 is a better choice. The cord I described is very useful and served me well when I was in the temporary power industry in the 90's...

That's cool I can appreciate that for sure. I am going light as well on my rig. Being 2WD is a challenge and my old bones can't take the beating on the local washboard!! LOL

I'm very pleased with my portable Viair 400P and Boulder rapid tire deflater. It takes less than 10 minutes to air down and about 15 minutes to air back up. 32 psi front/36psi rear. For mixed rough dirt roads I air down to 20 psi. My tires are 265/70 x 17 Actually it's always a good idea to...

Meaning no disrespect but you would not make that statement if you have ever seen how fast a bear can move. That grizzly has the ability to rip that door off and kill that man before he can hit the accelerator and get out of the way. As a tip to others in bear country always stop and eat...

LOL, You know how it is. I'm starting to like your style!!

It kind of makes sense. One adapter I highly recommend to have on hand at home or if you are RVing is two 25-50 foot 110v male plugs and cords put into a female 208 volt singe phase plug. This way you have 208 power in a pinch for RV's welders, driers, etc. These are not a off the shelf unit...

They can kill for sure!! However, they are no more dangerous than any other high energy capacitor or "hot" electrical current. Capacitors are rendered perfectly safe to handle by discharging them with insulated needle nose or screwdriver. In the Jackery I imagine there are one or more...

John your picture just proves how dumb people are. I saw something similar in the Grand Teton's when I took a picture seated on my idling motorcycle from a way distance (like a 1/4 mile or more) of a few Moose. There were actually a few boneheads that started hiking up to them. I did not wait to...

John you forgot to mention user error as in the case of myself!! Thanks for the heads up on the quality. I honestly only went with PowerWerx because of being local the convenience of easy website navigation. I'm learning a whole bunch of good info in regards to good connectors that differ from...

Have the head studs been replaced? how about EGT sensor/EGR cooler? I did not notice you mentioning those parts as part of preventative failure replacements you had done. Replacement cost for studs (before head gasket failure) is 3,500.00 - 4,000.00 depending on if you use ARP studs or OEM...

You are not alone there John. I warrantied a tire once that were punctured in the desert. I was honest with the tire store and they gave me a free replacement on top of a very discounted tire to match the new replacement. It does not always work that way but you did the right thing and can be...

Hi there, Figured I would share my experience of how my system has been holding up and working the last few months. Here is the build portion of my dual battery setup: https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/dual-battery-install-05-gmc-sierra-with-pics.221460/ Before anything I chose to...

I had a strange issue yesterday when my solar panel was not connecting to charge controller. And that was exactly the issue. I pushed the wire and "wiper" until it snapped into place. I purchased and have been using the Powerwerx brand of connectors. They are a local company close to me. Not...
