If you buy an arb 50 and end up reselling it you won't loose much more than a rental fee. I've been watching for a used arb and the prices they command used aren't far off retail.

I created this map/directions in Google maps: http://goo.gl/maps/VgznE It took a lot of pushing and pulling to plan out the route we want to take. Is there a way to get that into my Ipad? I can open the URL in safarai but it would be nice to have it in Apple maps and perhaps cache some...

Hmm is there a way to get my google map file into apple maps ?

Well I finally got a chance to play around with this today and turns out you guys were right! It was the LED reverse lights that were causing the noise. I swapped the OEM bulbs back in and was delighted to find the CB is now quiet as a church mouse. The objects of my former headaches...

Thanks guys for the responses! I read these on my phone on the road yesterday but needed to sit down in front of the computer to digest! I knew I didn't know a lot about electricity, but I didn't know how much I didn't know :) The inverter will be mounted to my cargo drawer box in the back of...

Are you guys putting your on-road route into the iPad before your trip as well? What's the easiest way to do that? I've used motion-X on my phone before for off-road stuff, but for our spring break trip we're taking next week I've created a google maps route that I tweaked and played with and...

Enjoy those big numbers while they last, you just added 500 pounds of weight to the front and back of that thing! I've been slowly watching my mileage decline with every mod I do.

Haf- thanks very much for your response! The explanation on fuse sizing makes good sense. Wasn't accounting for the 600W and possible reduced voltage. 100amp fuse it is! I'm still a little fuzzy on the ground. Do I understand you correctly that the earth ground terminal of the inverter...

Per a few recommendations on here, I decided to purchase the Suresine 300 pure sine wave inverter for the Land Cruiser. In reading through the installation instructions this evening, I'm a little confused and have a few quick questions. Link to install PDF: 1. The instruction manual...

Awesome video, great music as well! Where all did you guys go?

Those estimates are pretty accurate if you keep the vehicle stock or relatively stock. You should be able to get 16mpg hwy with 285s or 295s. Add any weight, armor or non-aero additions and it goes down quick. You can probably do a bit better than 12mpg in mixed driving. Don't buy a 100 if...

I'll call this 95% done :) Still need to finish the wiring, decide if I want to stain it or paint it and then put a bunch of stuff in it! Built in two halves with the intent that DS will stay in all the time and house electronics. Right side will be removable if we want to use 3rd row...

Awesome, thank you very much Rob. Very helpful!

Rob, I am running a National Luna 9 LED light. It has a power and ground wire, and has a switch built into the light: OFF/DIM/BRIGHT. I could just keep things simple and use the switch on the actual light, but I was looking for something a bit more elegant and well, I guess...complicated :)...

Rob, thanks for the info. I can change the wiring of the rear hatch light so that the ground is through the switch instead of power. One thing I didn't understand from your website pictures is where the ground connection is at the rear hatch. Or are you grabbing this wire at the rear...

I have pfran LEDs inside and the Cree reverse lights.

Well, I'm no expert, but I do live near Philly and do have some Expo dreams so here is my $.02: Life is what you make of it. Philly isn't a terrible place and if you know what you're getting into and you'll like it might be a good situation. No doubt the outdoor recreation opportunities are...

Awesome. I'll start by removing the led reverse lights and go from there.

Yep, that's the one. Debated going with the full-size one but couldn't stomach the extra 200 bucks. Incidentally, did you see my cry for wiring help? Trying to figure out how to do a three-way switch with the ground triggered courtesy lights. Need an experts help!

I do have LED back up lights that I installed awhile back. I also have an aux halogen fog/backup light but it can be switched off and I don't think it effects things. Also, the noise occurs the same when the antenna is installed vs. not. Incidentally I had this same CB installed in a...
