17's are super common size for truck tires, there will be a wider selection of load ranges, brands, types at a lower cost for a given OD.. 18 is a good middle ground tho. and yeah, more sidewall the better the ride.. mine came with 20's and I went to 17's, dramatic difference in comfort...

Ah yes but thats a $300 USD controller, whereas OP has a $16 Cheapo controller as most people using PWM on this forum.. I mean yeah it can be done, but at that point your well past just getting separate DC charger and solar charger and getting better results. I forgot about those boost...

I guess thats all that matters eh, but FWIW.. my 325W panel I mounted on top of my racks outputs like ~100W on gloomy overcast days w/out any direct sunlight.. a panel is only as strong as its weakest cell, diodes wont help when you got bar shaddows doing it across the board.. I could go out and...

Auto Charge Relay, the DC Charger's simple minded older cousin.. just hooks everything together when car is running and disconnects when you turn it off. The wire you run dont need to be very robust, it just sends a signal.. a 20awg or higher would do the job just fine.. tho i'm not certain all...

what kinda output are you getting? all that shade form those racks gotta hurt.

its got a 3d gyro chip in it, like your phone has to detect you changing orientation.. it knows how much vehicle is behind the OBD2 port, how much its tilted, so it can figure how much it dropped and uses some magic calculations to guess how much weight it'd take to make back end drop like...

dont think it'd work at all with my air suspension.. the pitch is identical with or without the trailer.. I also doubt it'd work w/any aftermarket tune since they are using manufacturer specs for calculations.

I think AZ's situation is a consequence of being a retirement state, I recall Florida has similar laws and they were all put in place so they could drive golf carts on the streets, but cover most OHV's as well since they are same class of light vehicle.. vast majority of the country it seems...

There's some places in CO that permit OHV usage on their roads, like Pitkin.. but they are few and far apart, vast majority of BLM land they are strictly limited to trails with proper permit/registration.. there is no way to license em or make em legal on roads that dont permit OHV usage without...

With a battery, its being pushed.. not pulled in your thinking.. The reason your wires will melt with overload conditions pulling is because lets say your 1000W load at 12v is on too small of a cable, the voltage will drop to 10V, the load is still 1000W, so now the current is 100A, not 83A it...

PWM is the only tha'd work w/an alternator I think, MPPT's usually require few more volts more input than output to work, mine requires +5v to just startup, then +1v after.. PWM's often dont have any limiting built in other than what circuit can handle before you let the magic smoke out.. MPPT's...

Found a guy in canada willing to help me import his fairly easy.. for about $5k USD + import fees.. he gave me all the dimensions, it'd fit in my intech toy hauler but I'd have to ride with the fridge in and alot of the other gear inside the vehicle with as little floor space as I'd have left...

Thats pretty neat, have you seen the Volkswagen Iltis? those are street legal and old enough to import from canada w/out much hassle.. and cheaper than any 4 seater UTV.

ah volume battles, reminds me of when I lived in a trailer park and woke up every weekend to carnival music... I'd respond in kind w/3800W of heavy metal.. headphones, now why didnt I think of that :p I find music soothes the beasts, my dogs are alot less likely to bark at every car that...

Ain't nobody close enough to my camp to hear any music, and if they could maybe it'd be a nice reprieve from all the gun shots reverberating through the valley. I've got a 8in 120W sub and a few 6in speakers in my trailer, sounds great.. thought about some external ones but those do just fine...

if your going to post up every lil mod start a new thread

Yes it'll work fine

They were toned up, I announced my callsign and said I was listening and they didnt hear me, or respond anyhow.. honestly, using em for simplex if your licensed and need some space would not be end of the world, using it is better than letting it sit and rot because repeater network is so...

a single 325W on a 100AH LFP will do 600Wh a day easy.. I'm doing twice that on average when I go out, 90 something quart Engel, Propex Furnace, Radio w/100W Sub, Power Vent, Breeze Fan, dusk/dawn internal/external lighting, fuel gauge, 3 mobile transceivers, 6 handheld radio charger, pod...

there's only 8 GMRS frequencies that require a license, and those are the Repeater Inputs.. shouldn't really be working those on simplex, they should be free so repeaters can be sensitive to handhelds.. I heard someone last time I was out camping working it simplex, they were offroading w/a...
