After I taped off the fender I pulled the inner fender spray skirt. If you want to replace everything in the same day you might have a few of the pop in plastic hardware on hand, I managed to break about half of them getting them off. No biggie, but I will replace them so I don't get a bunch of...

So Sunday I loaded the boys up to meet my wife and daughter at church. The 100 wouldn't start, I have been having issues with the starter contacts, as I was poking around I also noticed the front Passenger CV axle boot was torn, I knew it was slinging a bit of grease but this was total failure...

I enjoy the trailer life most since I live "around" the trailer not "inside" a camper. Sure you get a little more weather and conditions but that is why I am out there. My vote for a myriad of reasons is outside... Mostly for the first reason mentioned, but I am in bear country, don't like...

You must have closer friends than me ;) I'll throw in my vote for flip flops with a rinse at the end, haven't see the need for a shower mat, but this thread has me wondering what I've been missing.

Welding gloves for the campfire.

I was contemplating the same thing. Could you show how you've got it mounted up with a few more pics?

Fireball, I can't wait to see at you come up with for the 40, you should create a thread for us to watch along.

I didn't see anyone mention it but Office Depot carries them, both online and in some stores. I have purchased several there over the years.

I like where this is heading, I read your entire build thread and I like how you've built this rig. I have a Land Cruiser Fj40 and suffer the same space restrictions you do, I like how you're looking for horizontal space as there's never enough of it in the back country. One thought, would...

Thanks everyone I have found te solar FAQ, and I have been reading up. I appreciate all the help I am starting to understand and plan accordingly,

Goodtimes, what do you use to monitor the loading and discharging of the system? Also, could anyone give me a short Lyman's breakdown of the differences and or advantages of MPPT vs. PMT?

Here is an explanation of power needs I copied from another thread from Mario at AT. "Measuring consumption on an Engel 45 at our shop using a "Doc Watson" from www.powerwerx.com, we have seen daily consumption of 20 to 28 A/h per day at 12 VDC on the "Ref" setting (around 38-40F) with ambient...

255 for sure. Pizza cutters for sure.

I'll clarify a little. Rarely will I not run my truck each day. I also want to mount this to a "drawer" on my roof rack so that I can slide it out when at camp if there is gear on top of it while traveling. I agree more watts are better but I am comfortable with the 80 watt rating that...

You can also buy second hand police cruiser locks from Santa Cruz I think it is, anybody? Anyhow, it would provide an electronic lock that is not only secure but fast. I'm looking forward to what you come up with.

Nope. Just keep the droop at a safe level.

I am planning on adding an 80 Watt Solar Panel to my 100 series Land Cruiser with the primary function of allowing my ARB (Engle MT-45) to run 24/7. This will be in addition to a dual battery setup. I have come to the conclusion based on Mario's recommendation at AT that this size panel will...

IMHO, the best solution is looking at car audio terminals. Good plating and set screw sockets for inserting wires, very clean, easy to install and work on. I use something like these...

Have fun! 200's are the new 100's and the platform is going to be awesome!
