    First winch setup. Smitybilt XRC 9,500lbs

    You might consider picking up the wiring kits that Warn sells if XRC does not carry them. There is a long one for the rear, and you can combine a long and a short one for the rest. Then you would just plug in on whichever end you need it. If you mention where you are, maybe someone close...

    LR4 fridge placement

    Here's how I have my Snomaster 40L setup. No slide or box, need the height for the Dog. Also running the Traxide with Deka batteries. Added 100W solar to keep it all topped up with stationary for extended periods. More pics of that stuff here. The install on the Traxide is doable with...

    Sorry, they're not for everyone. They can be fun, but maintenance is required. Good luck with the Land Cruiser..

    Need help choosing off-road lights!

    I've got a pair of brand new intensities I would part with, one spot, one flood.. You could save a few bucks, as they're not cheap.

    Hidden Winch...school me please

    Or better still, get someone else out of somewhere they shouldn't have been. Rescued a couple of friends from the mud this weekend. They were stuck but good. Took an hour and a half to get there, they were in the boonies. I'd rather have the winch do the work than the drive train.

    Need help choosing off-road lights

    I love Rigid lights.. If you are interested I have a pair of ARB Intensity-- one spot one flood I never installed. It sounds like you ruled them out they are big, but nice. I run a 40" front combo SR2 Rigid and two 10" diffused on the rear. Here is a good video on the Rigid lights you asked...

    Any suggestions for a single solar panel, 12v system, 100+ watts

    Check your documentation, it will probably just clip the excess, and most of the time it will not be anywhere near it's maximum output.

    Hidden Winch...school me please

    I have a hidden winch as well. Not in your weather band, but cleaning has been easy. There are drain holes in the mount, and the mount is solid as a rock, vs just a tray. I drilled a carefully placed hole to access the lever. Remote mounted the solenoids under the hood to keep them clean. etc. I...

    Devon hidden mount for LR3 - winch fitting

    LOL, I met up with L8 in Buffalo on a Drive from VT to TX. It was after a cold snap, and snow. Here today, High 63 low 33. That is cold for here, not bad if the wind is not whipping.

    Devon hidden mount for LR3 - winch fitting

    I got it from L8 we did the fitting there in the freezing cold LOL. We more or less did it together, but I ended up changing quite a bit. I'll dig out the patterns if I can find them, really it turned out to be more of a custom fit. Drill, measure, cut, trim, repeat. Dropped you a PM with my...

    NAS LR3 build with an overseas twist

    Have any of you crafty devils come up with a center console safe. I saw 1 pictured on a US LR forum, dropped a PM but never got an answer. Evidently it can be done, but the details haven't turned up in quite a bit of searching...

    Devon hidden mount for LR3 - winch fitting

    Thanks for thinking of me gang.. Yes, I have one-- drop me a PM if you like I'll send you my phone# and e-mail address. You need to carefully check the specifications on the physical size. I have the XD9000. It fits with some extra room, but not a lot. Compensating with snatch blocks will...

    dual battery sillinoid set up Help

    I wasn't trying to get you to buy one. I just figured the wiring diagram would help show you how the wiring goes. As you see in the diagram, you do not wire directly to the alternator. Honestly, if you are struggling at this point, you might want to seek out a professional, or see if there is...

    Using Alternators to Charge House Batteries: Not sure where to start (a pun there)

    Sounds like you picked your direction. For what it's worth, if you've spent as much as you already have, you might consider this battery solution. It will live well with your solar, house batteries and alternators and won't require any fiddling. The kit I'm linking to comes with all the wiring...

    Why not get the biggest battery possible?

    Get yourself a big Deka AGM Intimidator or something along those lines. Bye bye Yeller tops.. I think you'll be happy with your Deka batteries 4x4junkie I can't really add much to what's already be said otherwise.
