So I finally have my dual battery kit installed. I'm running two 64AH AGM batteries. One functions as my cranking battery and one as my auxiliary battery. The cranking battery gets isolated after it drops to 12.7v. I would like to add a 3rd battery eventually and a solar panel/blanket to my...

hey fellow tundra guy here too :-) That was it....nothing more. I do have a vehicle build thread working though.

I would have bought it. That's clearly a bs reason. Tag on mine said it was the wrong dimensions..... If it says won't hold air.....now that's a different story....

After much research I went with the Megamat Duo 10. The Max looks nice but takes up more space when rolled up, is much harder to roll up, and the 10 is already super luxurious. I couldn't find any reviews that stated the max was really head and shoulders above the 10, so the space savings and...

I also upgraded my interior map lights and dome lights with Diode Dynamics LEDS. Also my tail lights and sidemarkers. The LEDS consume less energy which will reduce the power draw on my battery. In addition of course they put out a lot more light. Also I think these increase my safety while...

I also installed some aftermarket fog lights. Diode Dynamics SS3 Pros in amber. Tough to take a photo with them on at night.

I like them as much as I can so far! Its one of those upgrades that is mostly out of sight and out of mind. I hope i never really need them but at the same time they will likely come in handy at some point on a rough rocky road. Ive definitely already scraped a little bit on some roads in...

Renogy has a sale as well up until the 16th https://www.renogy.com/on-sale/

Today installed an engine skid plate and transmission skid plate by RCI Metal Works. Lots of elbow grease was used!

I also installed an ARB single onboard air compressor. I havent wired it up yet. This install was hard! The custom mount that was meant to fit pretty seamlessly required new bolts and spacers, and a ton of elbow grease and time. Finally though all bolts are secured, the compressor is snug tight...

So today I finally installed my Overland Vehicle Systems Nomadic 270 awning! I mounted it to Yakima jetstream bars. So far I am very pleased with this awning. It provides a ton of shade and covers both doors on the driver side while fully covering the back tailgate area. It feels very sturdy and...

Success!

It looks like this is gonna work. Bought new bolts, washers and lock washers all zinc to go with these nuts. Gonna install tomorrow!

So I have my Yakima towers and Jetstream bars installed on my camper shell and now I am having a ton of trouble navigating how to install my OVS 270 Awning. The T Slot channel on the Yakima Jetstream bars is way too wide at nearly an inch and I can't find any bolts that have a wide enough head...

nono, we NEED that guy. As much as I love REI they are still a giant corporation and clearly have succumbed to cutting corners and squeezing a little more profit wherever they can. The MegaMat is on my short list and I'll probably eventually get it for tent/cowboy camping setup when I find a...
