Did not catch that it was a name brand part, and not even have any extra letters in the name ..lol

I have had nothing but bad luck with electrical components from Amazon, wired my house battery setup recently with all RedArc equipment and decided to purchase a 50 amp circuit breaker for the main feed line rather than the bolt in fuse provided by RedArc so that I could both reset it after a...

I love my Blue Ridge tool bag, have had many different bags in the past, but find the form factor of the Blue ridge to be perfect fit in my rigs, holds tons of tools, they are easy to find and its a slim profile that fits into a cubby or drawer system well. Just got a second one to replace...

Changed more than a few semi truck tires on the side of the road in my years, defiantly do not miss those days, Carry some 3/4" stuff in the diesel pusher, but that has on board air and an impact gun, so fairly spoiled and too cheap to take it in and pay for repairs.lol

You should not need a diode on pin 86, pins 85 and 86 are simply two ends of a internal coil that when energized connects pin 30 to 87 when not energized pin 30 and 87a are connected instead. pin 85 is always low current draw and is isolated from the high amperage side. You are correct...

Here is one I did for a different project, I have modified it to apply to what you are looking to do. The relay will allow use of the rear lights manually and is not dependant on the relay being energized so will work with key off and defaults to manual control as long as the reverse switch...

OB-1 you tube subscriber #5...lol

If you really want both options, the simplest way would be to wire both manual switch and auxbeam in parallel to the lights/devices then install a double throw switch or relay in the main power feed to both switch systems. This way you can select either manual or solid state as the control but...

There are many factors that can kill a winch either name brand or budget. Heat and water are the two biggest enemies. I spent many years running heavy wrecker recovering semi trucks and in a 4x4 SAR group recovering vehicles in the woods. Both overuse (long heavy pulls without cool down...

@Michael, well done, thank you. Short video tutorials like this are a great way to get people interacting the app. Seems like I pick up at least a nugget of information from these and improve my level of 'like' with the app:) Keep up the good work and look forward to seeing more

Mark, welcome to Overland Bound from Washington. Like the topo rear window decal, nice touch!

We had a similar factory rack set up on our Grand Cherokee, the bars were designed for best airflow and sound levels more than they were for weight, the posted limit was 150 pounds, most likely based on highway use. even with a 60 pound thule rocket box to carry my Gazelle tent mounted to...

For travelling solo without a winch, some basic gear would include a good shovel, some type of jack suited for your vehicle and a stable jack base so you can lift a wheel and place traction material under or stack rocks under so you can clear a high center situation. Traction boards are a great...

Kelly, welcome to Overland Bound from neighboring Washington State, you live in a beautiful area, lots of great wilderness to explore, lots of great and helpful folks on the forums.

It does not seem to affect his radio reception on the trails....

Got the tablet mount and arm from Bullet Point, arm is super strong and does not move, the ball joint on the tablet end is fine for highway use, but no match for off road trails, no matter how much you tighten the nut, it tilts down slowly over bumps and the tablet slowly slides out one side...

Leslie, Welcome to Overland Bound! Wishing you lots of great adventures with your rigs.

Same thing we do, also primarily shoot metal targets, if not we place the targets over a tarp so we can clean them up. we also do not shoot where there is already garbage or destruction from previous shooting as we do not want the guilty by association from passerby's. Getting harder and...

Oh this is going to be a fun one, mental note to dust off my paper maps, compass and altimeter.... Navigation Nerdvana

Have a Jeep wrangler, but similar situation, tailgate and tire swing to passenger side. have 270 awning on the drivers side so that we can move freely from covered side of rig to the rear where the cooking happens all under cover. windy or crappy weather we install two side walls at the back...
