Here's the first wiring diagram I made for the rear work light. The light was originally a dual 55W halogen, so it was wired for lots of juice. The four numbers around the Fused Relay and C/C Switch diagram are marked on the relays. You'll need to figure the pin outs for what ever switch you...

Ok, I didn't want to derail the dual battery thread so I figured I'd make a new post here. All of this was connected to my main battery! A 150A MEGA fuse is bolted in front of the red bottle jack. It's kinda hard to see, but the bolts for the holder are just above the battery. My buddy...

If you have the room and it won't break the bank, I'd get them. A week driving the washboard roads in Death Valley made all the difference for me. Room for the extra reservoir was a little tricky, but it was the line between the res and shock body that was the trickiest in terms of routing. I...

I think the biggest maintenance issue with steel is keeping it from kinking. That's probably the fastest way to ruin the cable. Rust to a lesser degree, can be mitigated by a light application of oil/silicone spray. If it's sprayed directly on the line it'll get gummy and attract everything on...

I use a general tool roll, and 2 for wrenches (Metric and SAE) from Bucket Boss. Socket rails for, well, sockets. Those and the drivers go inside an old Craftsman plastic tool box that once housed my Dremel (that stays at home). The 3 rolls and socket box, along with a 2 lbs. hammer, tape, 6" C...

Sounds like a good time. I won't be able to make it as it's the last day my dad will be out here on the Left Coast. Next time!

This pdf was the single best resource I found to help me pass the test. Actually, it's an update to the 2010 version I used. It reads as if someone is just talking to you, but not in way that you're bombarded with super technical info. It incorporates the questions into the narrative and the...

Thanks for all the well wishes everyone! What was supposed to be a small gathering quickly turned into this :) I'm in the middle with the orange suit. It was a pretty pic ceremony to say the least. The Klown laying down in front was our DJ, and the guy with the crown (in front of the giant Care...

No direct experience with either of those makes, but have a few friends with the Road Shower. Even with mildly hot and sunny days, it's not uncommon to add hot water if you're taking a shower at night when temps have cooled. A DIY pvc version would have even less thermal conductivity than metal...

Good jerky. I don't think there's a single brand I have found in my grocery store that I like. I'll stock up when I find a good local place (like out in AZ). My other go-to is home made trail mix. A bag of dark chocolate chips (they don't met as easily as milk chocolate) Peanuts Walnuts Various...

What's their range of pressures? Staun makes a couple different deflators based on the PSI range you're typically using. It's nice that the JTB have the PSI reading on the shaft. Staun's are .5 or 1 turn per PSI.

Ahh yes, the Medusa that becomes your accessory wire connections. Look into getting a Blue Sea fuse box. They make a 6 and 12 terminal version. I counted about a dozen wires off the main and aux terminals on my battery. None of them were labeled and my OCD would freak out everytime I looked at...

Jet Boil for fast and easy oatmeal breakfast. In the Pelican 1650 I used to carry a Primus Atle single burner/large grill setup and it was great. I packed aluminum foil around the burner for wind protection and it's worked great after 7 years. Even the piezo igniter sparks with one or two...

My BOB was stolen in a smash and grab a few years ago. This winter, one of my projects is to finish caging the cargo area so the replacement can remain in the truck full time in a secure place. Someday, maybe @Michael can make the OBBOB;)

Haha, you answered my question as I was writing it;)

I've always wanted to visit Kennedy Space Center, but being on the other side of the country makes it difficult. Does your son want to go back? Looks like a great time (and rig!).

K.I.S.S. is always better:)

I've seen too many dual battery setup issues to justify having it. A solar panel and/or jumper pack is much simpler, cheaper and reliable. Find the largest battery you can fit in your battery box. Maybe you can make it larger. I can just fit a Group 31, though it did require extending the ground...

Hello everyone! I've been radio silent over the past couple months while my girlfriend (now wife) and I have been planning and putting together our wedding (it was mostly DIY). It started out small, with just close family and friends and kept getting bigger and bigger. The day finally came...

It went really well! Lots of rare, cool, and unique vehicles were there.
