The BMS is all that prevents Lithium from being better than AGM for starting/winching. Dakota Lithoum is making dual starting/deep cycle that will replace the AGM saving some weight/space. You'll want to make sure the Renogy + ACR (winch and compressor) doesn't draw too much from the...

Between double regs and the high pressure connection there's enough bad info in this thread to make it happen. If they buy the right size reg and there's no need for more than 1 first stage and 1 second stage reg. People that use high pressure propane have never seen what happens when 300psi...

What's the dimensions of the bed and how much does it weigh?

Access is a good idea but not necessary. If you want to access I've had great luck with these hatch covers. Don't know how food grade they are. Which is another issue with the gaskets and seals on hatches. https://www.armstrongnautical.com/armstrong-boat-deck-plates/ Acess was going to be...

I'd be worried the aluminum isn't strong enough. Why didn't you use 3/8" :) Pay close attention to those locator slots for the baffles. Short one sided (plug) welds are prone to leaks. The oxidization from plasma cutting makes it worse. When I test tanks first is an air bubble test at 4-6psi...

For the number of times it gets used instead of the trap use a rubber or silicone plug/stopper. You could also look at "test plugs". The ones I use when plumbing are inflatable but I've seen some screw types with a recessed wing nut.

A dealer was tried to convince me Timbren was better than air bags. They didn't have a response when I asked: 1. How do you keep the same ride (no squat) height as the payload/hitch weight changes? 2. How can I adjust for differences in side to side weight? With the air bags I can lift the...

123 I don't have a my way. Sometimes I start with one and switch to the other. Is sliding best? No. Does sliding work? Yes. Does fixed leg work? Yes. Can sliding be turned into fixed leg and back to sliding? Yes Can fixed leg be turned into sliding? No Are loads balanced on sliding...

Yes I saw it but the holes where already drilled when the pictures where posted so I didn't say anything. A 1/2" radii around the top edge of the alum or FRP takes the insustrial look off. It's easy to reseal but what do you do if it has leaked.

I'd advise against putting holes (toilet mounting) in the shower pan. Not if but when bolts leak. My choice would be to bond a plate (alum/FRP) that is drilled and tapped to the shower base. Also makes future modifications easier.

[QUO It's impossible to balance the loads (recovery not lifting) with fixed legs. No matter what you do one of the legs is going to take all of the load which defeats the purpose of the bridle. Add a safety for redundancy.

What blade? Probably a better than I have. I was using a 1/2" - 12 tooth raker blade on a 24" bandsaw. The flywheels picked the foam up and filled everthing with foam particles including the open face motor which wasn't good.

I hot knife channels with a bent 1/32" welding rod and guide.

Static electricity makes the foam stick to everything so cleaning the dust collection takes forever. After the dust collector is empty then you spend 1/2 an hour cleaning the foam that spread everywhere else.

I used a 25mm razor blade knife on foams that are less than 1 1/2". Over that blades curve so the cuts aren't 90. EPS is soft so cutting +1/16 will allow for press fit. Problem is things aren't built to a 1/16" tolerance. Its easier to cut the pcs 3/8"-1/2" small. Start by "gluing" the pcs...

I prefer a sliding V attachment for this. One needs to take into account the wear and tear of the attachment sliding (no soft shackles) along the bridle. Chain is my fist choice, then nylon and will only use Dyneema for the V bridle if there's a snatch block or no other options.

[QU Flat top U-bolts or drill 2 holes in 1/2"x 2" flat bar and use redi-rod. Another way is to weld alum flatbar or angle (vertical) in a place where it can be bolted to the frame. Find out if there's an up fitter guide for you vehicle...

You're tying to verify something that can't be verified due to the loads being unknown. Over the years I've gotten away with overloading gear by staying out of the bight, always having an escape route.

I was referring to shackles and straps used for lifting with a SWL vs. "recover gear" that has no controls or testing so who knows where numbers come from.
