I'm hoping someone smarter than me (shouldn't be too hard to find!) can help me out. I'm looking at a 2021 Ford E450 chassis, with factory second alternator (157 amp/hr). I want to use the second alternator to charge 4X 100 amp/hr battleborn lithium batteries, which will have their own...

Well here it goes... Sticking with my unfortunately reputation, I've had this rig for almost a year and it's time to move on. Once again life had different plans than I did, and our second child is due any day now. We have outgrown this rig, as much as we love it. I setup this truck to carry...

I hate that I'm starting a new topic for this question, but please hear me out. ;) The reason for this example is because a vehicle only has room for a small starter battery under the hood, and it may not be as cost effective to use 3 of them as house batteries. Additionally the house battery...

Sorry if this has been answered, I've searched online and read several theories without a definitive answer. I'm going to describe my proposed setup below. In the end, I'm trying to figure out if having the alternator charging the same battery bank as the solar is going to be self defeating...

I don't normally make build threads, but everybody's doing it! My last rig was a 2012 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited, with an Ursa Minor popup camper and a bunch of other things. It was a fun and very capable rig, but with a new daughter on our hands we needed some more space and a bigger...

SOLD SOLD SOLD July 6 edit, a later post mentioned lower selling price but I did not update the first post. I'm now asking $50k which is closer to private party value plus 50% cost of the additional parts. The offer to remove the winch for another $1k discount still stands. It...

I'm selling my factory white painted hard top off of my 2012 JK Unlimited (4 door). The top is in great condition, removed once, garage kept with 7900 miles on the Jeep. Factory tinted windows, rear defroster and wiper. Freedom panel bag is included. Some have shown interest in swapping for...

Or my new money pit, whatever... I'm excited about it anyway! Last week I sold my F150, left the buyer's credit union and went straight to the local Jeep dealer. I've been keeping my eye on local inventory but I had just missed the dead line to order a 2012, and I really wanted a white...

Don't hate, but it's not a pop-up... :p Feel free to scroll down for pictures and come back if you feel like reading my rambling. I just picked up my new 2011 Travel Lite 700. It is a pretty basic hard side camper, wood frame and aluminum siding. The layout is much like a lot of pop-ups...

Well it's still got a ways to go, but it's slowly getting closer to where I want it anyway. What I have so far; 06 F150 FX4 crew cab, 5.4L, tow package 3.73's with limited slip Bilstein 5100's with front shocks set to +2" 3" rear blocks that replaced stock 2" blocks 35x12.50R18 BFG KM2s on...

I downloaded google sketchup a few days ago and started playing. I drew up a design for a slide-in pop-up camper (similar to four wheel camper) for my 06 F150 crew cab 5'7" bed. I would like some opinions on it. And yes I know it would be heavy! -- Skip ahead to photo's if you're easily...

I'm selling my Yakima Megawarrior basket that I bought about a year ago. It was on my sport trac, and I removed the rack before trading it in. I'm also including Yakima's spare tire mount. No rust on the rack, no scrapes. The rust colored spots are just water drops from the long bolt of the...
