  1. Good eve, sorry just all over the place. No I haven’t gotten to yet. Life got in the way. The fuel pump developed a leak. Fought that, then took it in and the mech took forever. Dealing with auto accident from last trip. Just had knee surgery but hoping to hit the road in April. It hasn’t been a huge deal for us as we haven’t been much in the heat. I don’t see it being a huge issue. Just start with the first bolts you come to and keep digging in. Pics and labeled zip locks to help put it together. My pump is froze. Going to have to get the gas out of system before I tear into it. post your progress
  2. You can replace just the guts of the fridge with JC products, but still will have the same seals on doors if yours are getting old. We have the 2 way kit in ours from them.
  3. After the last Jeep was totaled, picked up a Jeep Gladiator. This a Mojave edition. I decided to go with roadmast this go around. They make a Mojave specific mount for it. It bolts up to existing holes, just one to drill. It does require cutting the skid plate to fit over the mounted plates. However I have a Jeep rubicon steel front bumper to add. Because it’s skid plate mounts to the bumper and the Mojave’s does not, I had to cut it to fit over the mounting plates as well. I also need to recut the Mojave skid plate to fit around the Rubicon bumper. Anyway got the winch in as well. I’ll be modifying a Mopar wiring harness from a Jeep JL Wrangler to fit this truck.
  4. Sidewall is hung gel coat, 1/8” think or so. There is no foam behind it, it’s open to the interior board with fiberglass insulation. It’s hung (glued) to the steel studs in the wall. I would think some anchors pushed in would be fine. They rivet the top to the fiberglass in the moulding.
  5. I have both the 12V and 18v Milwaukee and will never go back to air. I use them on my excavator and skid steer that get packed with dirt and they power right through everytine
  6. Did you check under your drivers seat? I was able to get paint codes from Rev along with decal placements
  7. Yeah not sure on just the red, I did have reverse tails in mine. Your original pics showed the lights with the reverse lens so that’s where I went. I should have read further, .but being a dude, I’m visual and like pictures😜 I’m not up on your throttle thing, but these are plug and play into original sockets, (the expensive lights that is) so if you have signal at the socket, they will function. Good luck on your quest.
  8. I don’t believe you’ll find the amber. Both these are Chevy taillights. I had to mod the fiberglass to get them in. I tried the clear fancy, the broke. Tried the cheaper LED, they quit working. Now on the expensive LED and they are holding up.
  9. Been down this road, search for my posts. I’ve tried all the ones you’ve mentioned and had to bite the bullet and get expensive ones
  10. I know they have come WAY down, I have a 200ah and thinking about moving to another unit. The prices are falling fast. You get 560ah (2 batteries) for $999
  11. This battery is getting a lot of play on YouTube. James AZ expert and Eric at Nomadic Fanatic (he put 2 in) Anyone here take a chance on one yet?
  12. Started to mess around with covering over the plumbing in the bedroom. Here’s a mock up Well shoot the pics upload black
  13. Going to glue every piece in the hump. I’m a 3M junkie so going with their semi permanent/flexible adhesive-sealant and see how it goes. The main floor is floating Bro that is a work of art! I haven’t thought about the bed box yet, but you have inspired me to add it to the list.
  14. Looks great! Is that the stair nose on the top? I have that coming in. It’s vinyl so will be easier to cut and work with. What adhesive did you use?
  15. I’ve had the floor down for a year now and just haven’t been able to get over the “hump” of the engine cover. I’ve seen a few here with some trim on the edges, and it kinda stuck out a bit. Buddy said let him try something, and it worked insanely well. He heated and formed the plank for perfect corners. Here’s the progress He did a test 90 angle
  16. Well I’m not sure how you charge a battery from two different sources at once. I mean, I never stick 2 chargers in a battery. I don’t have two bad a range in the charger, but will be upgrading to the touch screen inside this spring.
  17. Yeah I probably is isolated to the Victron Multiplus and DC-DC. I wish I knew more about or at least could understand electronics. My grandfather was an incredible guy who built his own Ham radios out of tubes, none of those genes seemed to get passed on to me
  18. Yes, but what does your Xantrax have? Sorry I not responding quickly. If you quote me in your response, I’m alerted that I need to get off my butt So the only issue I have run into with the DC-DC charger is for those who run their genset while underway to power the ACs. You will have to turn the Dc-Dc charger off if you run the genset and engine at the same time. You would be essentially charging the batteries from 2 different sources at the same time. My Victron shut completely down and stated I had a “ripple” which I dug into but really only understood that the two chargers interfered with each other and the System just shut down to protect its self. Turning Dc~Dc off is easy in the Victron App
  19. Did this swap on my Dip. You can search for it. If your Xantrax had 2 legs coming out like mine did, you’ll want to figure out how to deal with it as 1 goes to a circuit of plugs and the other the microwave.
  20. I saw this an had a moment. Years ago my favorite forums sold out to a corporation who was buying up forums for the advertising $$$ and peoples info. Anyway, I went to delete a post and found out I couldn’t. They didn’t allow it anymore. I assume it was there to keep whatever info profile they had on you for targeted ads in place. Needless to say I left the forum and had to request that they delete all info they had on me. Was a weird experience for sure Lets hope we stay local here, so thanks for the hard work that people put in to keep this independent
  21. Batt boost, I believe you are referring to the big boy combiner. Much has been written here about this. The direct answer is no, since you are most likely still using lead acid as your chassis or start batteries. They don’t play well when you marry them to your new lithium. There is a device out there, google “lithium big boy” and you should find it. It replaces the OEM big boy which allows your batteries to play nice I just eliminated my big boy combiner and carry a small jump box should my batteries go dead. Found this https://explorist.life/how-to-wire-a-li-bim-battery-isolator/
  22. I’m confused I guess. If you are not hitting max load, ever, then you concerned that you are overloading your wheels if you buy a tire that requires more psi than the wheel is rated to handle, even if you don’t hit the 125 psi on the wheel because you will only need 100-110 psi to carry the actual load that you have loaded on your coach?
