From the distances in the pics, it looks damn good. Heading into those tight trails with vegetation on both sides won't be such a big deal anymore. Looks like you had a fun weekend! I've car camped at Lake Del Valle a few times and go fishing there at least 3-6 times a year. Usually rent a...

I do have the Ancor Marine grade heat shrink on all my connectors so at least I have some mechanical connection if the temps get high enough for a solder reflow. Should hold me over till I get my terminals crimped.

LOVE IT!! Thanks for sharing these updates pics!!

Great pics! Wow! White Rim Trail is definitely on the short list of places to visit. Looks like your rig came out pretty unscathed. I'm sure the SFA helped. Cheers!

Thanks for that link. Since I soldered mine originally, I will probably swap my cables out for crimped terminals in the future. In a vehicle that is subject to lots of vibration, I can see where a mechanical crimp would be superior to a soldered one. Cheers! Jel

Martin, glad you were able to get your dual battery set up. With regards to the way your terminals are pressed into your cabling, I'm afraid I have to agree with what some of the other guys have suggested. I would either bring them to a shop and have them crimp it properly or solder the...

Looks like another brand just showed up. Couldn't find any other info other than whats on amazon.com. They throw in a shovel and a couple of emergency blankets. https://www.amazon.com/LS2-Tire-Traction-Mats-Set/dp/B01EVAMEIK/ref=lp_14944105011_1_1?srs=14944105011&ie=UTF8&qid=1477517239&sr=8-1

Definitely a very unique vehicle. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/5843378854.html

Martin, IMHO, I would see if I could return the one you got and get the version I got. Since it mounts directly to the terminal bolt, you elminate having to do some additional steps to get yours mounted. With the fuse block that you currently have you'll have to still drill into the firewall...

I do still have mine. I admit I had a couple of sparky accidents when messing with the positive terminal hardware. For some reason I didn't even think of covering it with something made of rubber. That being said I'm going to put a couple of layers of heat shrink tubing on it. A short...

GSuelzle, any updates to your front and rear bumper install? Would love to see more pics.

Martin, you will not be reusing that corner brace so you can remeasure without it in place. My 2nd battery has exactly the same dimensions as my starter/house battery and there is no way the brace is going back on there. The battery tray below will be taking over the "bracing" duties. Jel

Pfft! Homemade he says. Obviously they were manufactured in a Class A fabrication facility with everything cut to .0001 tolerances that make NASA engineers give nods of approval. :) Great looking rig, BTW! Wow!

So how did the Tepuifest go? Where are the pics? :) I was on my way back from San Diego and saw a bunch of rigs heading down I-5 late afternoon on Sunday. I know it was raining pretty hard over the weekend so hopefully it didn't affect the festivities too much.

Wow. What a crazy first hand account. Glad the tent held up. This makes me want one even more knowing it can take a beating from the wind.

Great write up and pics. Some day soon I will get out that way. That pic of you guys stopped where the road was washed out, did you continue on or turn around? Thanks for the trip report!

Cool tip. I was going to try gluing a small section of old inner tube to my crossbars, but the tape trick might be easier. I 2nd REI. Normally you'll be paying full price but if you can get it on sale or with a coupon then even better. They have their monthly garage sales as well and you...

Looking forward to the updated pics of the back of the front bumper as well as the new rear bumper. If I may suggest, it would be cool if you somehow were able to lock the swing outs (if you are going to have any) in various positions. I've seen some where people incorporated old locking hubs...

When I did mine, I used 2AWG from EWCS on amazon.com. Made in USA and great customer service. I had an issue with my first order. They shipped me 2/0 AWG instead of 2 AWG. Not their fault, it was Amazon's, but they told me to keep it and they immediately sent out the right sized cable, no...

I have a smaller one that we would normally use on my wife's Touareg when camping. Borrowed it on a short trip to BLM land in Central CA. It looks tiny compared to my Burb. I did a noob thing and didn't tighten the mounts enough. With all the lateral forces going over stuff the box ended up...
