Right, I actually looked into that and the testing standards / certifications as this came up the the self build book. However, all the testing specs are behind paywalls at the IEC/UL/ISO. So instead i looked at the testing methods to see what would come close to the off-road use and snow...

Hi Jon, federfachmann.de / DFF also supplied our Marquart shocks because the standard ones would not fit after the lift. We have not had any decent miles on them but they seem high quality and they are paired to our lifted springs. They are pretty standard but well priced, I am not sure how...

Nice setup Alloy! The Lynx shunt has a fused positive :) right, good idea, by 12/24v sockets what do you mean exactly? Great, gonna check them out, I think I will go down the custom panel route anyway. Thanks for the link! Well, i was just thinking switchgear protects the electrical...

Nice, I have been looking at a few of these relay style main switches too, I think for my install these might be the ticket! I could also add a relay trigger to one of the relays in the Victron GX system i suppose, so I can isolate remotely too... :unsure: Yea, that is kindof my thinking, it...

Everyone seems to be loving the BlueSea panels then :cool:

I think technically they are separate at the cable houses. Each column on their design page is stated to be isolated and needs/should have its own main breaker. I am struggling a little with the battery/system placement, we will have almost 15kwh worth of batteries and my plan to place them...

Yea, I will have a main battery switch before the Victron Lynx distribution bus and shunt, the shunt will have the main battery fuse but I wanted a step down fuse as a main breaker for the 24V DC to protect the loads. The diagram I made was just a quick effort, I still need to map out the...

Hi guys, I am trying to figure out my paneling, I would like to have breakers and not fuses for AC and DC and make an integrated distribution panel for both, I am playing around with the bluesea custom panel designer and was wondering if there is a modular or easier and more economic way to go...

Really cool! How are you liking the Webasto stove?

Nice tip, i was considering a rig like this until a came across the transparent Bifacial split cells, they come in from 400-450w and can charge at very low irradiance ratings, because they are Bifacial they charge on both sides so I am planning on mounted them with a small gap, hoping the white...

Nice, this was going to be my plan for longer trips! I also plan to outfit a small welder in the truck after some time. With the efficiency of the newer Bifacial arrays (LG NeON H LG435N2T BiFacial 435W) connected to a high voltage (VOC) controller it should be possible to charge far longer...

Thanks Alloy! The panels im thinking of should have max series connected VOC of 200V, which should work well with that controller, I know the current limit is 30A for those cables so I am just within those limits to make one series array of 3 panels, if not I will need to take one panel out...

I have looked into this in the past, here are Mercedes crownwheel & pinion aftermarket options for the rear axles available from Germany, I think most go with the genuine part for front axle I have been told because they are simply not available..

Hi @Rally Truck, bit of a noob regarding truck engines, I am having my OM 366 LA's fuel pump rebuilt and injectors tuned on a bosch bench over the summer, the shop says im looking at 250-280HP from 204., I was also wondering what EGTs is referring to?

Thanks Joe, the size of the inverter and bank is mostly due to the induction cooking. But when you refuse to do gas/lpg that is how it is. I might even "need" the Multiplus-ii 5000w inverter... :ROFLMAO: But they start to get big, heavy and expensive really fast.. I promised myself I would not...

This week Ive been mulling the electrical system and researching our power demands, products and alike. To help with the shopping list I made a very high level diagram of the setup, Once I am happy with the configuration my goal was to model the full installation in CAD, failing that at least a...

One thing I still cant get over is how strong this build looks, hats off @Sitec!

I must disagree with this comment, your truck looks amazing but the lead time and pricing for Boxmanufaktur was crazy, even the high end guys like AluStar etc seemed cheaper. I also had a pretty hard time getting responses from them and they failed to answer and engage with me as a potential...

I was following the thread on LN2 forum, from what I understood in the comments, from talking to Atkinson Voss in the UK and some of my own research the fuel injector and pump rebuild would be a stage1 upgrade and the new turbo (and therefore boost pressure) would more likely be a stage2 option...

From my research for my truck specifically the only approved MB torsion free subframe is a 4-point system, to which the fixed horizontal pivot is centrally mounted according the chassis squidge and articulation tests. It is also IMO worth noting that rail-on-rail designs should not be called...
