    Drug Dealer?

    Gotta say this has to be the best upgraded RR I've ever seen! Bravo! I'm sure you've answered this so many times in this thread but could you repeat what you did with the calipers to do the smaller rims on this SC beast?

    200ah lithium. One battery or two?

    I agree the you above. Also most heated Bluetooth lifepo4 have a lower power output BMS. A lot of the 200ah BMS have the same output as 100ah. What that means is that by going with two 100 amp hour batteries you'll end up with twice the output capability if you ever want to do larger loads like...

    Does Anyone Actually Use Their House Water for Drinking?

    Not true at all. The vast majority of wild, moving water is likely safe in the USA. A study from a few years back tested hundreds of streams in the Sierra. They found crypto or giardia in very few of them, mostly down towards the foothills near agriculture impacts. That doesn't mean don't treat...

    Frame Ground Points

    Inspect all wires for corrosion. Now's the time to upgrade your wiring to a larger size especially if you want to push more amps through an upgraded alternator (for say winches or to charge house batteries etc). Find a spot within reach of your ground wire. Sand frame area clean. I've never been...

    O Boy! This New, Wearable ELT Type “Watch” May Be Coming…

    For that price you can a new new V2 Inreach Mini. Weighs about 3.5 ounces. And has two way coms, which is really key. Sometimes that exchange of info can be life saving and also can really expedite the right kind of rescue. And they have device to device coms, which is magic in remote areas...

    Wind River Ranging

    Permithrin. On everything. This is the way. Especially on the reservation side where they have a Minnesota black fly infestation. You can't feel when they bite in those little suckers leave black welts. They like to climb up your shirt sleeves, down your neck and your pant legs. I tested against...

    Real World Experience With Apple’s New Emergency SOS Messaging for iPhone 14

    Cool stuff. Will be obsolete by the time Starlink starts their deal with T mobile next year. Globalstar is an ageing dinosaur. Scant on details. I'm assuming push not pull, ie, no 2 way coms. Wondering how they get around the antenna issues. Betta there's more to it.

    Prices on EP Classified seem to be HIGH!

    Those vans don't grow on trees and are getting more rare. Prices will come down soon but not by as much as some people think because of scarcity and hyperinflation effects. But I've personally gotten some cherry deals on here. Bought my base vehicle during the Rona on this forum. 2001 F450 fire...

    Kill switches

    Seems like you could pretty easily take starting ability away from any vehicle by disabling one of the dozens of systems that are required to run a vehicle. Use your imagination, get good insurance and get a GPS asset tracker.

    Barbed Hooks...

    I usually mash my barbs on my flies. Using the right net is important too. Fish harvest is also very important. Catch and release has created large imbalances in many cases especially with the ongoing western drought. It depends on the species, the environment, time our of water, how long you...

    RR L322 SC Sand Tire Question

    Sorry to nudge this thread to zombie status but I'm considering a 5.0 SC RR l322, so I guess 2009-2012. Still can't find a lock of info about whether you can run 18" rims on these trucks given the caliper clearances. I know the earlier 4.2 SC has a couple of options out there. Anybody out there...

    Does anyone know if you can mix Lead-acid batteries with Lithium Batteries ?

    Looked into this. There is for sure a way but it probably involves switching between the two banks for both charge and discharge phases. So I went with full lithium. 2 SOK 100ah heated bluetooth batteries. Very happy with them. Once you go there you'll never go back. Move those lead batteries to...
