Oh boy. I am excited to see this build. I suppose I am partial.

Hey guys. So its just about go time. HERE is a link to the weather for the Brothers area. It's going to be below freezing at night so be prepared.

Wow! Thats a great idea!

I don't think my fridge is that efficient. Plus I do a lot of solo tripping. It would suck to get stranded with a dead battery in the middle of no where.

Th Thats very true. I knew it wouldn't completely support the draw but would definitely help.

So I run a 65 at fridge on the same truck. I have had some mornings in the past where it started but was close. Because of this I installed an extra battery and an isolator kit. I also purchased a 100w solar kit for the trips where I am staying put for a couple days. RAM 2500 Custom RTT Rack...

Hey Ray Ray! Welcome from the Pacific Northwest.

I installed one of these last week. I will be testing it out this weekend on the Coyote Works Trip.

Cool. Just put a reminder in my calendar for January 1.

Do you happen to have a picture of the light pattern? Are you happy with the level of light output?

I will probably add one more to each side. The cheap ones I threw on there leave a lot to be desired as far as lighting up the perimeter. I will have to do some digging to find a good wide and bright scene light.

That is a valid concern. Especially if you want to keep the tent below the roof line.

Thanks Casey!

I don't think I could pick just one either. Nice choices. I put 23k miles on an 05 KLR over 18 months. Not one issue.

I only had today off this week. And with the Coyote Works Oregon trip just 5 days away I needed to get a few things done. First I replaced the Rigid Radiance ditch lights with a set of Baja Designs S2 Pros. I was not satisfied with the light output of the Rigids. They are a great scene light...

So I a little behind on the updates. Last weekend I was finally able to complete the Aux Battery upgrade. The snag was due to the main battery cable that came with the isolator kit ended up about 3 feet short. So I had to order a longer one. Because of the added distance, I decided to step up...

I get it. I guess my reasoning is this, Why would I need cables or a jump pack? Well my battery failed. What is the primary component in a jump pack? It's a battery, that can also fail. Not saying it's not a great idea to have one. Because it is. They are super handy if maintained ...

Unless another lone wheeler happens to come by to help......but also used that reasoning.... As a rule, I do not rely on someone else to save me. If it happens to work out that someone has a piece of gear that I forgot, fine, but I really try to ensure I can sustain myself. Just the way I'm built.

I also just carry a good heavy set of cables. I do a lot of solo tripping. Because of this, I added a third battery with an isolator to run my fridge and other accessories. I also just bought a Renogy 100 solar panel kit that could be used to slow charge the starting batteries if they get...

I would also be curious as to how much power the various off brand panels actually make. I have read a few reviews and the advertised rating and the real output in good sun was very different.
