    Odyssey vs. Diehard Platinum

    Oh man, I wish I would have seen the latest in this thread about the Bosch battery... just picked up a group 34 Sears Diehard to put under the hood of my GX470. Looks like for $40 less the Bosch is only 8AH of 20-hour rated capacity less (for what that's worth) compared to the Odyssey/Diehard...

    military water and fuel jugs

    I recently swapped viton gaskets and red straps onto my plastic jerry cans with parts from JAGMTE... he ships fast and has some cool stuff. One note: get a wrench for the caps. As hard as I turned, and I thought I got the caps on tight, I had gas seep from mine in their Baja Rack mounts. I...

    Two solar charge controlers on the same battery

    One more question: what's the current rating on your Morning Star MPPT charge controller? It looks like their lowest rated MPPT model is 15A, which might push you over the edge, as you said in your original post, if add another panel. The other comment about adding a second charge controller...

    using new maps in the jeep garmin gps radio 430 n in the new jeep

    You would think a car manufacturer that goes to great lengths to market its vehicles for off-highway use would include a way to get non-highway maps in its navigation systems. I'll never understand auto manufacturers! A little anecdote: I was adding a RAM mount for my iPad and my son was...

    DIY Portable Solar Panel - Connector question included

    x3 (or x4 now?) on the Anderson Power Poles. The only downside is that they're not waterproof and dustproof. Having said that, we're just talking about low voltage DC here. I have them on the leads of my solar panels and use a 4-way connector to parallelize the two panels, then run another cable...

    What's the nominal system voltage on your existing solar panel? 12V? (Will typically be labelled 19-20V open circuit).

    FREE - GX 470 / 4th Gen 4Runner OEM Skid Plates

    GONE :wings: In my continued effort to clean out the garage so Mrs. Offero can park in there, I'm getting rid of my stock skids from my Lexus GX 470. I replaced them with Bud Built. I'm 99% sure these will fit on a 4th Gen 4Runner (2003-2009?) with a V8, since the ones I put on my Lexus from...

    Yakima Loadwarrior Basket

    I'm willing to ship the small parts. I doubt I can get a good enough rate on the larger pieces to reasonably ship, but I'm willing to try if you're interested.
