    CHUCKY'S TREE HOUSE !

    You must have missed the part where he said it was actually working and had provided power. So no, it's clearly not solar. ;)

    Not my truck obviously, but I saved it for inspiration. :)

    AWD and Slip

    Yeah, the military Pull Pal is rated to 12k pull for up to 10k GVW and they make a industrial 14k version for up to 12k GVW. I suspect the limits are structural (ie where the anchor disassembles itself). So GWV + resistance (mud, sand, etc). Personally, I'm more a fan of the one-piece...

    AWD and Slip

    Here's serious contender, but it doesn't list a weight rating. But it's basically the same design as a marine plow anchor. IMO, the one-piece solutions are the only ones that these trucks won't disassemble. https://www.dnaoffroad.com.au/ground-grabber-winch-anchor-large.html

    AWD and Slip

    When / if I add a winch, I'll likely carry a marine plow anchor. They are basically the best for all environments (sand, mud, rock) and have the best holding power and weight rating. They aren't cheap, though. I had a surprisingly small one I kept in my old Chevy's recovery kit and used it...

    Yeah, saw this on FB today and that old spark lit up thinking about this thread.

    SHC35 and SHC60 Battery

    Well you might move the batteries in where it's warmer in the meantime. I don't know your application here. I'm likely not the best to answer, though. I recreated the OEM setup with a temp sensor and heating element. But honestly, I don't know that I've ever run the...

    What are you using for a temp sensor?

    M1088a1 Camper Build!

    You'll get more visibility here for general troubleshooting questions. As far as the camper build, you might want to make a dedicated build thread over in the Camper Conversion forum here on SS. But there's no rule against it being in here. It's your choice.

    Charging/Maintenance and Alternators

    Yeah, the disconnect gets tripped every time I exit the cab. Or else... And yeah, I killed three almost new batteries before I discovered the issue. And it's why I'm on a charger of some sort 24/7 when the truck is not in motion.

    Rear and Side Mounted Cameras

    Don't get me started about wireless issues. I was IT for 20 years and I still refuse to incorporate wireless anything when I can avoid it. Just one more thing to break or be interfered with by any one of a million factors (especially in vehicles). Anything with real-time telemetry like...

    LMTV Shocks Absorbers

    Ideally, you'd get corner weights, per axel weights, and overall weight of the truck. Then King (or whoever) can valve the front and rear shock to the specific weights. But you absolutely want to stick with a 3" body. Yes, the rear on the A0/A1/A1R are the same for a...

    Rear and Side Mounted Cameras

    No, not on it's own. The display allows you to swap between inputs, so you could connect three cameras (one each HDMI, VGA, AV) and switch between them. Some monitors do support split screen (so two cameras could be displayed in that case). Not sure if that monitor has the split...

    Charging/Maintenance and Alternators

    I just use 12v from the cab quite a bit when parked. I run a stereo, a refrigerator, charge radios, etc. I live in pretty extreme warm and humid weather and I'm adding a cab exhaust fan on a thermal switch that runs when the truck is parked. So I guess the primary goal...

    Charging/Maintenance and Alternators

    And that's roughly what I have set up. When parked, one input option is solar. It can swath between the Solargizer or >> the 100w solar panel or >> shut off both The second input is the NOCO for shorepower (it's only used when the solar is "off") I was just wondering if...

    Charging/Maintenance and Alternators

    So I have several components I'm getting around to installing. These are strictly for the truck batteries and independent of the house bank. Truck is an A1R w/260a alt Dual battery mod I have the following that I use/will use: 1) NOCO Genius2 (for shore power charging) 2)...
