I like to keep the color coding of the positive=red, negative=black. Mixing colors on the same cable increase exponentially the risk of electrical accidents.

SC on the back of the solar panel, with a connector for a wire. I have Anderson connectors behind the bumper for each battery, and a 10f wire(truck in the shade and panel in the sun). this way I can shift the wire to the different batteries, and also to other trucks if needed.

Here is my solution. Made from a old garden chair, but you can improvise from a bike rack(seen one). And folded:

Modify as much as you can before the baby..

It’s a different name for a monster wok. We attached a long handle to a big wok and use it over open fire or powerful stove.

Yes, still carrying it. It’s bolted to the truck’s bed for about 20years. It gets out to work about once a year, but when it does, it has exactly the advantage over other recovery gear.

The trucks from 3 decades ago are not relevant for comparison, not with the current hilux, and definitely not to late LR models. Did you own/used/paid for maintenance of one of the candidates? I own a 1997 hilux, for the past 16years, it's robust, reliable and cheap in overall cost during...

On what do you relay your reply? I've worked with hilux from various models. I see my travel companions who drive with new hilux and ones with LR3/4, and there is world difference in maintenance costs and reliability. Maintenance is much simpler and cheaper for the hilux. The hilux is not...

Considering that a fridge works about 1/3 of the time, the average value represent 3-4 ah consumption when working.

A camel.. Or everything else.. I weighted my1997 hilux, packed for travel, with Water system, toolbox+critical spare parts, fire wood, fridge+cooler, personal equipment for 3-4 passengers ( that is if your not carrying all your tribe in the bed..) tent, extra fuel, Winch+bumpers+bash plates...

The sales charts say different. In countries where you can choose, The gas hilux sales numbers are almost negligible even when the diesel is more expensive. Look for the Australian sales numbers.

In the past year my truck was used only for off-road traveling, 2-4 days at time. The yearly KM was 7000km, or about 4500miles. So the amount of travel is less important then the challenge the vehicle encounter. I don't own LR but my travel companions for years has/had different LR...

recent debate i came accross regarding RR/LR3 seriously?! Off-road\overland Truck disabled due to the use of non-OEM bulb? Suspension system got screwed because of the back light or brake sensor?

It turned out that the suspension failure was due to the injection pump.. The "smart" terrain system operates with a speed limit, and beyond certain speed, the truck lower itself. When an injection/throttle failure happens, it affect the suspension that totally collapesed. The actual failure...

Straight A..

Fast quiz.. One landi is down for electrical issues.. One had the a 3rd flat in 2 days due to the skinny tire&rim forced by the factory, and the third one is between breakdowns..(Last one was suspension collapse during highway drive..) Can you spot who is who?
