What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

[Sandpoint Steve]

Finished My Dual Battery Tmax Install

Firewall with Grommets

Inner Firewall with 300Amp Breaker


Found a use for this little spot on the 3rd gen 4Runner


Controller Mounted

The system is by Weston. Simple in theory and Automatic.
When in a charging state it waits about 5-10 seconds then links the secondary battery in for charging.
When you start to discharge(Turn the truck off) it waits and then isolates the two batteries.
You can also manually link the system for heavy draw situations(Winching).
And you can check battery voltage. Works best when unlinked. When they are linked they read the same.
Probably not as fancy as the big name systems, but So far I like it. And it was only ~$115. Came with the control box, Solenoid, 6awg wire( I upgraded to 4AWG) and all the connectors.
I am running 2 35AH batteries in parallel in my camp kitchen for a total of 70AH and it ran my Norkol TEC II freezer all night. I have a 300A breaker in the front and another mounted with the batteries. If the 4AWG running under the carpet ever shorts out it should break at the front and rear and not burn my truck to the ground.
The 3rd gen 4Runners are tight under the hood so I put the batteries in the back.

Wired up the charging ports and plumbed the air compressor into the step of the new steel bumper. Finished wiring up some rear seat charging, and one step closer to getting the air compressor finally working.

Also got the camper shell back on the truck.

Replacing rear coils for 1 more inch of lift in the back. Was loosing at least that much when loaded.

My current car and my previous car together for the last time, the yellow one is getting sent too the highway in the sky on friday, I didn't think I would get this emotional over a car, I guess I was wrong. R.I.P. Pugsley the 306, we had so much fun together while it lasted even though you had alot of problems I still had fun.

Actually this was done on Sunday, but I just got the pics online yesterday.
After a long wet winter, I took Chuck out of the spare room and put him out in the rig ready to serve camping duties before too long.
This is the chuckbox that Pat built for me back in 2010.

One day I may go with a Goose Gear plate system in the cargo area, and have some custom slide out modules built for this stuff, and sitting on top of a bigger cargobox.

Not today, but this weekend I finally got around to rerouting my rear diff breather and I finished my solar shower mkII.

 

[Rattlesnake44]

Not all done today, but since I've been working for the last 10 days straight this is the first time I've had to get caught up on the forum. So, added an sPOD, some ditch lights and a nice little retro logo to up the CDI factor (Chicks Dig It).

My radiator keeps going dry. I could never find any leaks and at one point I was starting to believe the Garden Gnomes were drinking my radiator water. Well yesterday I fount the leak! it was a slit in an old heater hose. Today. I got a hose similar to the original, did a few minor modification and installed it. Presto! No leaks!
