    ON BOARD AIR?

    Well dang. Do you think a small motorcycle battery would be enough? I have one of those laying in the shed. This is the only load it would have.

    ON BOARD AIR?

    I do have a good Orion unit already. But no (third)12v battery. So pulling 45 amps off the regulator is a bad idea. But pulling 45 off the Orion unit should be ok even without a battery for storage right?? It’s rated for 70 like you said. Ps I’m thinking this would be for airing up tires...

    ON BOARD AIR?

    Hey guys- would the 12v from the dual voltage alternator be enough to power a pump like this? Here’s another brand, but I don’t see anything about amp draw, nor do I know how many amps you could steel off the 12v post...

    Swing away tire carrier dimensions

    Ahh duh I didn’t notice that 21” mark. So did you get your measurements from the OEM carrier? Where did you find C channel like that? I’ve only ever seen it with this profile:https://www.metalsdepot.com/assets/files/Catalog_Photos/MetalsDepot-channel.jpg I like how yours keeps the tire...

    Swing away tire carrier dimensions

    This is awesome, thank you! I had the same idea, these dimensions will be a huge help. How much spare length do you have on your ratchet? The 8-9” throw made me wonder Do you recall what this angle was?

    current Rhino/Rico spare tire carrier value?

    Has anyone tried making one? I’ve thought about it, using one of these as the adjustable link. But I’m not sure if there’s enough range in the threads. This one is 9”...

    LED lights wiring problem?

    Well after all this, I think it was just a blown fuse. Only after checking my grounds, I found a strange fault light, which lit even with the fuse removed. The dull LEDs also lit with no fuse. I had checked the fuse before, and it didn’t look bad, but it was more obvious this time I guess...

    LED lights wiring problem?

    I think the rock lights are 12-24v I don’t have a switch wired in yet, because of this voltage drop issue. but I bought a bank of rocker switches. I’ll include pics but again this problem exists without these installed. The Orion gets power straight from the batteries. It’s been working...

    LED lights wiring problem?

    With the truck running my Orion is putting out 15v (output voltage is adjustable I think between 16-10v) at the unit but 13.33v at my fuse block. I have 13.33 volts at my switch box too.

    LED lights wiring problem?

    I bought a box of small led lights labeled “rock lights”. I installed them as reverse lights and because I had an extra, an interior dome light. I am powering these lights with that Orion 12v converter. When running the wire I kept checking my circuits with a 12v battery charger to make sure...

    Transfer case shifting and BTM

    I’m sorry if I missed the truck needing to be off in the TMs. I had tried N and P and assumed something make be broken as some of the shift linkage seemed to bind up at times. I searched through the TM for the BTM instructions and have come up empty. Searching the document for the terms...

    Transfer case shifting and BTM

    Wow - truck off!? That’s surprising. Better not need to shift in a hurry lol. What about BTM? How high do you keep rpm’s? My truck only went to about 1500 rpm with my foot on the brake. Once the diffs lock, and you start moving - do you let off the brake? does the Diff stay locked if you do?

    Transfer case shifting and BTM

    Went off road for the first time recently. I had some trouble shifting the T case. It would grind gears when trying to shift. Park (for the trans) seemed to work for shifting into HL but not always. I took a video https://youtube.com/shorts/Dc-h9FPj7C8 but the only time I got it into L...

    Rubber coating for parts near battery?

    Unrelated but, are those grounding harnesses I see many people installing truly necessary? I have a Rev truck and I’m wondering if any problem that may have existed has since been fixed at the factory

    Problem identifying proper color?! 34052

    I mean, here’s another example. Pictures of the same truck which looks wildly different. And none of my colors look like either of this trucks colors. https://garbee.net/~cabell/usmcmodifications.htm

    Problem identifying proper color?! 34052

    I spent over 2 hours at Sherwin Williams this morning. After some searching, they did find only the 24052 but, it was not the correct color once they mixed it. It was a grey-blue and nothing like the green from Home Depot. Just to clarify I am looking for tint only- not paint. So ordering...
