As you can see it is "overloaded", I am going to use a Pelican soft case (24can) and the new ATC hanging picnic/camp kitchen case but keep the stanley 2gl water jug. Here are some features and comparisons to the old Pelican hard case.The ATC case is a work of art and well thought out. I have...

I am in the process of redoing my rear storage rack to make it more compact, lighter and used a little different than I had intended. I'll show a few pics of the V1 setup (less than a year old) and give a brief scenario of what I would like to accomplish. ALL input is welcome. I went it alone...

Thanks guys for the explanation! This will make it much easier to configure my next project it is/has been in the works for a while. I ditched the 6v deep cylce FLA batts for lifpo4 45ah batts:

Is it possible to run 24v panels through a MPPT and have it kick down to 12v so I may use the amp hours properly? Or is the amp hours just a number and the power is still there to be used? I have a hard time getting around the fact that each battery has a "amount of power" to output no matter...

I have run up against this before using 6v batts. I thought I had a bunch more ah's than I did. So, I have 8) 45ah 12v batts. I need to run in series to generate 24v for my panels, how many ahs will I have? 360ah or 180ah? I'm not "getting" it while I do know it is true. Can you explain?

If you have the inverter type of gen and the right model, you can hook two together with a combiner. I know Honda and Generac make the kits to combine wattage from their gens.

My last Jeep ('72 CJ5) had ARB's front and back. My TJ however has a Yukon zip on the NEW Currie rockjock D44. Currie actually recommended it for a few reasons. A) it was cheaper by a 100 or so and B) it has a better (less questions asked) warranty than ARB. Now, I have never had need of...

My son and I built this a few years ago, going to upgrade to lifepo4 45ah soon. Using 2 12ah sla batts now. 2 40 watt panels. The panels mount to a camera tripod via velcro. Works great.

I am using a Viair 444c ("c" is constant duty) single and a 2gl tank and can fill 35's from 11 to 30 in pretty quick using a powertank powervalve.

Our new TJ build:

I did not read through all the posts, but did read the OP's questions. I went with a Hellroaring combiner to handle the dual battery situation. It is all solid state and no loss. It will pass whatever voltage your alt will give. I went with Odyssey AGM's. One on each side of the fenders due to...

Fresh RockJock D44 install, checking for interference's: On the trail:

That is some serious flex on leafs!

You will need a relay to run just about any air comp. A 10a dash mounted switch is too small to handle the load. I have had a extremaire (4cfm) VERY happy with it, two cons are price and large size. My new build is going to use the same comp shown above made by Viair. Never had one but people...

I believe the winch would burn up after a minute of full load. My optima yellow tops are 55ah, they do a great job of handling my winch needs. Full load is seldom achieved on most winches for more than a few seconds. Anyway, does anyone know if these new lifepo4 batteries with bms will do what...

Hello, I have two 50ah batteries that are new drop in replacements for cars. They are light, compact and have a BCM for under/over charging. Can these be used with a in my TJ to replace my current single battery? I'm worried about discharge rate, my Warn XD9000i can pull 300+amps. I here...

OP, sorry to hi jack but boat stories are funny

I've been one of those guys you mentioned. LOL My very first "boat experience" (maybe 1995ish) was in France along a canal. I do not speak french, my wife is proficient but not fluent. So, this guy that is checking us out on the boat wants me to do these specific maneuvers. He's speaking French...

I've been there! What is the old pun? Two best days of a boat owners life? Twin SB's are a good choice though if you cannot go diesel. We have gone to "renting" now. Mostly good. We chartered a 26' center console for day cruisng in the BVI's last spring break and it had a 2 stroke yamaha...
