You still need to wire up a 7 pin plug like @geanes and @hoser suggested. Link to old thread on this topic. The Curt bluetooth thingamabobber would then plug into that. Or you could hardwire in the Tekonsha or similar upstream of it. I think...

A good day in the shop.. My son installed the new Tom Woods drive shaft. We used the old bolts because the ones they sent with the shaft were a smaller diameter... The clunk has been eliminated! (so far 🤞) I got all the rock lights mounted (6)...

I've had some feedback from G900TriPro owners that the connectors bump into the headliner/overhead console, limiting how you can position the mirror. I've now released a TriPro-specific bracket that drops the mirror/display down 3/8" to avoid...

Initially tried without removing any interior bits. I could not locate the connector, it was directly above the hard black plastic piece. Removal of panels was pretty easy thanks to this and other related threads. Ended up doing the whole...

@alia176 if you do find the connector I have the pigtail for the brake controller if you need it.

Well, finally got around to looking for that darn brake controller connector. And ya'll were right! It's behind the front plastic panel below the steering wheel, just below the ignition key slot. I'm also trying to attach a picture (never...

So the Curt controller and adapter plug showed up. I just went out to plug it in and the only open plug I see under the dash by the steering wheel does not come close to matching up with the plug I have. What is the plug under the dash I'm...

This is the model I'm using. It's their newer one and very efficient, so minimal heatsink size on it. Since my lifepo4 is in the 2nd battery tray, it's all mounted here. This was during installation. cheers, george.

Installed about 4 months ago. Charges a 100ah lifepo4 from the main battery/alternator. Been working great. PETG cheers, george.

Yes. I've used it a few times.. but was wondering how to pack it.

No major mods to the truck lately but I did pick up a used Xventure XV2 trailer. I wanted the XV2 in particular as we plan to haul dirt bikes and a small raft with it, something other off-road/overland-y trailers like the Turtleback can't do...

Another 40 gallon LS3 swap tank.

Some good info in here, I have a non-smart 12/24-20 charging my Dabbsson 2000l via xt60i (it only has xt60 input though) and charged at 250w though I've seen 400w+ when the battery is low.

Covered another section of the Pea River in SE AL this week, a 9 mile stretch that I've not been on. This region of south Alabama is underlain by karst and I passed by several spring runs entering the river. Water level is still low, much of the...

@LJE Product idea! Winch control box relocation bracket. I repurposed a Slee dual battery tray BCDC mount but might change it up to get more airflow. On thought would be a similar bracket with a cut out for air flow but that goes lower so the...

These brackets are now laser cut right here at LJE HQ! (that's right, freakin' laser beams!)

Love the flush mounted anderson power poles!

Been working on some new fitouts for cruisers. This was a tourer build with inbuilt 2 burner gas stove and 80L fridge.

Went and drove it with some friends

An old neighbour noticed me working on the Land Cruiser and gifted me this set. A nice addition to the maintenance rotation 🙂 8mm-32mm 1/2" ... has the name and serial number of the original owner engraved on the ratchet

Finally making some progress on my drawers, Version 2.0. Version 1.0 lasted 11 years, but was heavy as hell and awkward to remove and reinstall (3/4" ply for EVERYTHING 😅). I'm still making a few tweaks, but hoping to have it mostly done this...

added Vibrant super quiet oval resonator into aftermarket Revel Madallion Trail Hart cat-back exhaust, in the location the OEM resonator used to be. This took out 95% of the 2000 rpm/139Hz drone, no joke. It also tamed the entire exhaust sound by...

Finally took the time to wrap up all the details on my hidden solar input to the redarc bcdc/house battery and aux power output from the starter battery via a blue sea battery shutoff (winch is also isolated with it). Aux is mainly intended for...

Needed a quick project and remembered I had some dynamat in the garage so I took care of the back half in the Lexus. Ended up using about 4 sheets on the outer rear quarter panels, rear arches, and floor. Have another 2 sheets left but I think...
