I already have a Honda 2K generator that's very quite I have used, i can pack that along. I was starting to read a lot about inverters and people using them here so I thought it might offer me a better option but that doesn't seem to be the case. I will mainly use it just for AC and heat and...
I am looking for less space and less weight and more power. Seems a generator will suit my wants better.
I am wanting this for more of a base camp setup. I sold the camper trailer, the kids are older and the wife has agreed to get back to more primitive tent camping. My older son and myself...
The end goal is the same, getting power. The generator is a complete system, the inverter is part of a system.
I don't want to carry around a bunch of batteries, a generator seems a better choice for my needs/wants.
Then space and set up time would have to be considered.
As crazy as it sounds coffee and coffee maker is one of the items, how about 12 volt coffee makers run from the vehicle? Do those work?
Could you run an AC or heater for hours with the battery inverter setup? How does you battery bank recharge, solar or the vehicle? How big is the battery bank?
Why do you avoid using a generator?
I understand if you only need a small amount of power an inverter is fine but if you needs/wants are greater (microwave, coffee pot, AC or heat...) when would want a Generator vs an inverter?
I have can take a generator for comfy camping if wanted, why would somebody choose a one over the other?
Shoot them. Mange can be contagious to other animals. Usually you don't see coyotes hanging around, they are usually more "shy" than that. Wild animals not acting the way the should can lead to problems.
You can't be sediment and use a winch. Somebody has to take responsibility for hooking up the load and making things work as they should. You have to make sure your load stays hooked, you have to make sure the cable is winding as it should you have to make sure you things move as they should...
Mine don't laod up worse than any other AT or some MTs. They aren't like the my old Super Swampers but they have been OK in mud for me but I am on a lighter vehicle.
I got the passenger side about 6-7 years ago, I needed a quick fix. The quick fixe was working so good I did it again about a year ago on the driver side.
mine went 18 years before it failed, not sure if it was an install issue. I know the new one is a different design. I've replaced both axles with CV joints from a late 90s V8 Grand. I spread the ears on the stock shaft enough so the end caps with fall off the U-joints.
How easy are the cable to pull? Do the have to be tightened? I have a PTO powered Dump bed on my truck and the cable for it need to be adjusted often and replaced every few years.
I have had 3 issues in 18 years with the ARB. First is the rear nipple broke twice so I replaced it with their...
I am sticking with the Dana 30, it was do to poor design on the part of ARB not because of the Dana 30. The new ARB has a lifetime warranty, or so I was told. In the past I ran 35s put I will be sticking with 33s.
Have you ever checked the bolts that hold the ring on? My understanding is that...
On the old Dana 30 ARB Locker there are 6 bolts that hold a ring down which keeps the diaphragm in place. Those bolts could break, and mine did It was somewhat of a common problem with those ARBs. Mine lasted 18 years before it failed.
Fortunately are ice days are limited, I just stay off the road. Snow days are also limited but don't offer the same level of challenges.
On a side not my old school front ARB kicked the bucket and is being replaced.
He did not mean to drive down the hill on purpose he wanted to go right at the very beginning but couldn't because of his auto lockers. You might have to watch it again.
