CTEK as a straight DC charger (from alternator) does a good job. As a solar MPPT controller, I am not a fan. Some time ago, I did some side by side comparisons with a Victron unit - the CTEK took longer by a surprising amount. I don't recall at this point the amount. If you look at some of my...

JSS dual battery tray and modified battery hold down bar. Took me an afternoon. Group 31 under the hood. Get some thermal insulation to help with the battery... otherwise the tray gets hot. I used DEI Floor and Tunnel Sheild I had laying around. Do not use any of the aluminzed butyl crap...it...

I have an 07. The 12 and newer JKs can use the factory tray (modded) to fit a group 31. Here is a pic of the rear aux setup that is in lieu of the 40 rear seat. It uses a 100/110ah Universal Group battery I had laying around. Victron BMV 712, a CTEK 250s (buried) for sc charging duties, and a...

It has been fastened using #12 self tappers and tiny brackets for years now (maybe 6-7?) ...never been an issue. Lots of forum comments about self tapping/drilling will fail l, but mine never did. I suspect people were using the gas charged strut to limit gate travel intead of the factory hinge...

I have two DC breakers, a blue sea fuse panel, and 300A MBRP fuse for the winch sitting on a custom panel atop the battery. All I have to do is loosen the battery clamp and snip a few zip ties and I can remove the battery. The panel flips up and out of the way. It is a bit busy at the moment...

I have the outback tailgate table and a gas shock. The shock used to mounted high and until I moved it below the table...

If you have the Jeep running , charge all your batteries...transfer all loads to the vehicle bus and charge the batteries. The Jeep alternator is a very capable unit.

I'm a huge fan of the Sam's Club AGM for $180. The expensive batteries are just not worth the price over a quality AGM. You can replace the Sam Club AGM every 3-4 yrs (if necessary) and still have money in your pocket over the Northstars. I run this under the hood in a JSS battery tray for my 07...

Thermostat is sticking?

Everytime you call a Jeep a car, a puppy or kitten dies.

Brand new, never opened Smittybilt Pivot HD Tire Carrier - brand new in box, never opened. PN: S/B2843 This is for Jeep JK 2007-2018...sorry, forgot to post that info. Amazon Link Purchased the item and then personal circumstances hit (forgot I ordered it) and then I missed the return...

Where are you located? There are lots of options...including my trailer (which is for sale)...here. Shameless plug, yes I know... https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/expedition-trailer-compact-utility-topper-bed-trailer-2750.199362/post-2550125

Black Dometic Brisk II A/C unit removed from Sprinter van - barely every used. Capacitor soft start installed to make starting on small generators and inverters easier. Unit is approx 2yrs old, van had <8,000 miles when removed and hardly ever used. This unit is a ducted unit - so it will...

All steel construction - compact pickup truck body on heavy duty axle & frame. Lots of lockable storage for equipment. Keep it out of the rain too. Cool thing about this trailer is the size - it isn't your typical huge contract/utility body. It is a Reading Brand Topper & Body...

It is very common for batteries to be in passenger compartments (they are under the rear seats of many many vehicles)...they use AGMs or VRLAs. Conventional FLA batteries, however, must be properly ventilated. Minimal saftey concerns. Lots of threads and discussions on this topic. Battery...

Well, I think I have come full circle...am leaning towards a modern radial - likely a tire in the 30" x 9" range and then use a vintage/old skool tire for the spare (keep the weight and thickness down). I play on hanging the spare off the upper rear gate. Many of the tires for 16" rims come in...

You don't need dual batteries. You don't need dual batteries for a single 40L fridge. Run your setup now, find the limitations. Then figure out where to go... A single 100Ah battery under the hood is more than adequate and is an easy mod to do for your Jeep. Sam's club makes an outstanding...

65Ah should be fine for a single night, and indefinitely with plenty of solar for a single smaller fridge and cell battery charge usage...it is marginal if no solar and only driving 2hrs/day. Running the engine will help tremendously. If stationary for extended perioids, look at getting >100W...

Seems like anything from 600-16,650-16 and 700-15,750-15... And then they went smaller too.

@Mischief Looks like I was wrong...there are more skinnies available in a 16" rim...hmmmm... decisions decisions. I'd have to buy 3 x 16" rims to make it all work...
