I've been lugging my little folding solar panel kit around for a few weeks now. Wanted a place to stow it that would withstand bouncing around offroad. Seemed like keeping it close to the batteries made sense. Some scrap aluminum angle, some ss d-rings, a pass with the rattle can, done...
I'm curious just what "pricey" is, but my time is worth more than calling a point-of-compass military parts flipper to find out.
I'm betting that it's in the $300+ price range from them with another $60 to ship (given that it's an $82 part readily available elsewhere with $15...
Yeah, mine was a later black box off my 2008 truck. It had worked flawlessly a couple years then sadly went five-solid after I removed it to repaint the face of the heater. I was methodical in making sure the power was off and batteries disconnected. It just came on with five solid. I...
Awesome stuff.
I wish my controller wasn't bricked. I'm not too keen on replacing it given that the failure rate appears to be every other truck out there.
But great info for those with working controllers !
Still loving the little cooler. It's the perfect size and weight for me to easily toss into the cab fully loaded.
While it has never pulled my truck's 12v battery down to a "no-go" state, I wanted something to keep things topped off at the beach. I've not tested what the actual draw...
The first question I'd ask is are you looking for a boarding solution or are you entertaining a rear deck? I'll assume since you included a liftgate solution that you are leaning in the direction of a deck-type solution?
Second question is if you intend to ever pull a trailer. If...
I think the biggest draw to using the Arduino over building a manual controller is the fact that it's plug-n-play.
I'd have loved to have done a manual, but the more I looked at running air lines, buying all the fittings, hoses and such, the more the Arduino made sense for me. At least for...
I was just being sarcastic with regards to the extent "certain" flippers buy up all of certain items that someone posts to hoard and scalp.
As TomTom said, hopefully they went to members and not one of the big venders.
:)
It won't reach w/o cribbing, but I would likely still use some form of ballast on most any terrain I might change a tire on. It might do w/o if you aired the opposing tire down flat, but I've never tried it. I keep a couple 18" 4x4 and 2x6 with me. I do a lot of beach driving and...
It should. I've seen a couple M1079's that rolled and the cab damage was minimal compared to the crushed M1078's I've seen. It speaks volumes for the rugged nature of the AAR habitat frame.
