Power poles are not bad. There are other high current dc connectors I like more that are soldered rather than crimped. XT90 comes to mind. Andedson will be a much better (less electrical resistance) more secure connection than hella socket. Use shortest run and biggest wire you can stand. That...

Sorry I do not have all that many action photos. But I have a nice link : http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/101184-Off-road-com-RAV4 My wife and I lived out of one for a year long road trip adventure and have since taken the thing to the bottom of Eurique canyon (copper canyon...

Thanks for making this thread.

This was a smart move for wilderness. It will lead to more cooperation. When looking at new Wilderness bills if the areas overlap trails currently used by bikes they have a problem in that we who mountain bike may oppose them. If they modify proposed areas there is no reason to oppose and they...

I hate zippers. 10 year old sierra design tent- zippers got mangled in a very strong wind storm on the white rim road in canyon lands. 3 year old marmot - have 150+ nights in it, A couple real bad wind storms tore the fabric part of the zipper- the stitching and tent fabric did not fail...

That last part about not getting double sided flat/clipless pedals is so true. Everyone thinks they will be great but its the worst of both worlds. I was shocked to hear someone mention rat traps/straps. In my opinion they are an abomination and caused many and injury back when they were...

I am thinking this means 120 Amps not 120 quantity...

The words your looking for- monster cross. My first gen Fargo is a good monster cross bike and I like it for a lot of things. This thread is great for making me appreciate and thankful for having many bike. You can never too many.

Cool I will be reading and hopefully commenting.

That idel b truck fridge looks a lot like a waeco/dometic. This is very much a good good thing IMHO.

Just keep a keen eye out. I got my Waeco on ebay cheap cause it was a made for ford model and DC only. Truck fridge sell a unit with a danfoss compressor that also looks nice. At less than 400 mine has paid for itself quick. Bags of frozen water are rather expensive and it adds up quick. If you...

I have a waeco and love it. My father just got an Engel and I really don't like that it has old analog thermost and low voltage disconnect. Its also a bit louder, all forgivable if it were cheaper... I have to say danfoss compressors and thermostats seem like the best and are available in a few...

Your electrical demand is very modest. A low voltage disconnect and some fuses is all you need worry about. Here is another lov voltage disconnect http://www.rogue-engr.com/12Volt-15Amp-Low-Voltage-Disconnect_p_14.html You mention an inverter for charging, if at all possible avoid this by...

I like my 5 pound tank a lot. Uhaul is a great place to buy propane. Lots of locations. No minimum nonsense and they just charge the going rate. A the larger stores they have a handheld credit card reader and you never even have to go inside. They also are competent and check dates and use a...

Long post alert Ok so I have to make this post because by the sound of it, this may save others some failed experiments. For a Lithium Polymer (LiPo) jump pack one would need a pack of 4 cells in series. These batteries are 4.20 to 4.25V hot off of the charger, 3.2V per cell is flat and...

Paid for! In my book there is no better feature a vehicle can have and its not even 10years old yet and with that low milage its got its got years of life left. Hah If I were in the market for an fj I would be giving the opposite advise. Trailer is not that crazy as it may well work for you...

Over spring break (my wife works for NAU) my wife and I had a great trip. I will be filling in some details and of course putting up some photos, this is kind of a stub entry for now, but If I never start it I wont ever get it done. So please bear with me. Like many trip reports I have read...

Cool. I am planning a trip to copper canyon very soon march 18 to 23 and hope to do some riding.

Yes I am bringing up this old thread nctacoma, no there is no low voltage cut out however going thru the gray anderson power pole connector makes it switched by the breaker. Anyone know which power pole fits? I am trying to find one and wow there are a lot of different anderson connectors.

Get a 1st generation Toyota Rav4. It will fit 29" tires on 16" rims (225 or 235 70 16 or 215 75 15). It has a full size spare. Arb old man emu lift kit is available. Its a great awd with a locking center and the option for a torsen lsd rear diff. The stock power is not great but there are V6...
