The second post if you scroll down has the entire 2021 year. The Sunday meet up event is a place holder for the second Sunday of each month

Ok now I see it. The original date on the post threw me off. Thanks! School and work are keeping us busy but hopefully we find some time in the summer.

Welcome Shahn!

Hello and welcome to the team.
I can't wait to see what you do with your rebel. I'm in the middle of my 2017 Ram build.

Hey All!

My names Ryan, and I bounce around WA State mostly and dabble into Oregon. I also am the Regional Sales Manager for REDARC Electronics for the West! I’m here to get to know the community especially in the NW, and help out with any questions I can answer about our products. Looking forward to getting out to local events or meeting up with y’all when it’s safe.

I need to pick your brain if you don't mind; and please bear with me if I ramble off a little (closing out another 14hr day, my eyes are playing tricks on me)
Alright
I'm currently running Rugged Ridged Dual Battery relay kit on my CJ5, with a Bestek 300W Inverter tucked away in the center counsel. For the best of me I haven't been able to source the parasitic drain, and previous shop couldn't put their finger on why my AGM battery's always die if I leave the Jeep sitting for over a month. I should mention that the Jeep has a Full Painless Performance Wiring Harness, Painless Gauge Harness, (I basically replaced everything on this Jeep over the last 5 years). She kills every battery, even before I had the dual battery setup installed.

Now to REDARC - would you recommend that I add a Battery Charger to the Jeep, and would you have any local dealers that do installs on the east coast (Upstate NY)? I would really like to install some solar panels on top of a roof rack that I will be installing this summer.
Well thank you for your time
