I strongly recommend the Traxide system, expensive, but works great. You can buy just the controller and add your own wiring. It's the best one I have seen and also use it.

Not bad, are these new, I might be interested. I need a set of black ones. Drop me a PM

Awesome Wuntenn, how did the solar project turn out?

Nice pictures. Did you get your Traxide installed yet Jerry? What's the light bar on the rig Sweis? Chris, how much damage was done to the Expo rig as a result of the abuse on that TV Show? I just completed the install of a 40" Rigid SR2, very nice.

I can't say for sure, if they used the "standard" 12v wire, or tried to save money, and used smaller wire. As mentioned by soulpatch, 12v runs at a higher amperage to achieve what 24v does at less amps. Like I was saying on the inverter wire, there is a significant allowable size reduction in...

There are some decent AC units made for this sort of thing running at 12/24/48 volts. Something like that might be a consideration. Was that Ambulance originally wired at 24volts? If you switch to 12 the wire may not be big enough so may need to be replaced. The units here are going to be way...

Your points are well taken, thank you.

If you are planning on running a fridge, as well as other stuff, I think you'll find you might want to double that solar capacity if you have space for the panels. For the money, I would seriously consider the Kyocera 140 panel, which is also a bit reinforced for these purposes. You can also get...

This all depends on your budget, and how much weight you are comfortable carrying. You could do for example 4 6 volt 400Ah L16 AGM batteries. Configured as 12 volts, you will have 800Ah of storage, configured as 24v you would have 400Ah. Bear in mind, that most, but not all stuff will run on...

It started out kind of gradual for me, and got to the point where i spotted drips near the rear tank after a couple of fill ups. It took two trips to the dealer, both times on a flatbed. After picking it up the first time, I went and filled it up, and gas poured out all over the garage floor...

I was aware of the Australia issues at the time I bought them. I believe they have their issues resolved and there has been no more complaints since. The severe duty the vehicles see over there do not compare to our use here. Bilsteins seem to be the go to shock on the disco site for the most...

New properly installed / sealed tank seal, be sure the one they install is not the TDV6 one. I sent the part numbers to one of the guys in SCLR club. There is also a TSB on similar/related reports with Land Rover. I believe this was all posted on the other thread you started.

We're getting a bit off the track of the original question, which was how to hook newer vehicles that don't have connections built in to do so, ie: no tow hooks. Maxtrax would be nice, seeing as they are a non-profit someone should donate them a set or two, like say.. Maxtrax. They are not an...

Nice one, I also like the looks of this one. http://www.hookswreckersupplies.com/Chain-assembly-HTS-N711-6D6.htm I'd definitely be careful though, and remember winch with a winch, don't tow. A kinetic recovery rope might also be useful when a pull is required. There's one heck of an...

First off, thanks for doing what you do. Also, thanks for taking the initiative to find a better way. I think you'll find most folks here are recovery minded. It seems like you need some advice from towing operators or professional towing accessories. You probably have something in mind...

Sounds great... my color too!!

What size tire do they take, to keep the same diameter LT285/70R17 E126R?

Put it on the info screen, and take a look when it chines, could be something as silly as low washer fluid.

I would suggest a rear mounted 2nd battery, small solar controller and panel. Add an inexpensive battery isolater, and you are 100% The laptop seems to be the biggest power hog here, do / can you get the DC power cord for that, it will be much more efficient than an inverter. In fact...

Which company, the MC4 seems to be coming from everywhere at this point.
