I guess the question that needs an answer is how many amps are we trying to move? I got off my lazy butt and did some calcs and it looks like 10g is really fine. I used a run of 16 ft, so that is from the alternator to the bat in the trailer. @2amps voltage drop is .03v @5amps voltage drop is...

Internal walls! I hadn't really considered putting any in but I could. There will be a water tank at the front that could be walled off as a box. It would take some thinking to get set up so it was not a PITA to accesses for service. I could also do one down the middle front to back but that is...

The problem here is that it will not lower the amps. It will only lower the volts and the difference is simply made into heat. This is a wast of power. Amps is a mater of how much the devise pulls. You need the volts to charge the bat. If you try to charge a bat at to low a voltage it is hard on...

Thanks for the input guys. I did consider angle but it is much less ridged pound for pound. I'm thinking of using think wall (~14-16 gage) 1" square tube for most of the box and maybe 1.5x2" for the base. I will be welding the skin to the frame. The thin sheet would be plenty to give me a...

I'm not sure I wouldn't. With the circuit protected properly for the smallest wire I think it could work well. Voltage drop is a function of amps, wire size and length. So running a 4g to the back of the truck would keep the drop to a min for that run. Then you could drop down to the 10 in the...

I'm starting the planning stage of a trailer to pull behind my 98 XJ. I don't want it to be any heavier than it needs to be. I do want it to be completely sealed from the elements. I'm leaning toward a basic box design with a non removable top and a rack to hold RTT=maybe a small gear basket...

Thoughts after reading to page six… I concede the following: better where road tracks are narrowly rutted by Local vehicles, like in southern hemisphere. Use less energy in terms of weight, rolling resistance and windage. Essayer to get onto vehicle without extensive mods that may have...

Assuming it has a 231 tcase you will want to go with the expensive dealer fluid. others can damage the synchros.

I think this is a big part of your problem. These are great in wood but I have tried to use these bits in steel (only caus it's what I had) and had very poor results. I would recommend a standard 135* tip twist drill. Split point would be nice if you can find it, plane old high speed steel is...
