I've been looking at rear bumpers casually recently. Current is a dealer-added Curt or possibly other brand, below bumper receiver mount. I tow an M1101 that is stock height. With an Ironman 2.5" lift and a 10" riser, the trailer FINALLY doesn't have a nose-down stance.
Today's problem is...
Un-installed IBS battery monitor and relay. Installed Redarc BCDC-1225. Charging both batteries with external charger, then having a look at how the 55w solar panel does maintaining the charge. IBS will be for sale soon.
I have a Bowfin. Having used 80/20 extrusion a lot, like the rack. After initial install, I checked the bolts all around and tightened. Since then nothing. The extrusion WILL rattle like crazy if loose so you know if it is.
I wish the rack came in 15series instead of the 10 series extrusion...
Looking to use the 7-pin to charge the batteries if in trailer. Already have a 4awg routed to the back with a distro planned back there. Am thinking I will probably have more cutoff switches than necessary... :)
I have a 100Series and an M1101. I am looking at putting the dual 100ah batteries in one Pelican case with the MPPT controller. The other case will have the DC distro and Inverter.
This way the system can be moved between the trailer and Land Cruiser as needed. Already have a second battery...
I am starting the interior wiring for second battery and electronics area on my '04 LC100. Stereo amp, UHF radio, CD radio and distro for rear lights, fridge and USBs. The location of this is where the 60% seat was. I've built a platform there for all the electrical. It will have a cover that...
She got a new umbrella...Nomadic 270 ...After a bit of head scratching in 95 degree/100% humidity, got it installed on the Bowfin rack. It went throughg a rainstorm just fine. A trip is scheduled in a few weeks. When pulled tight the thing sheds water like a champ. This pic was the next...
Yeah, Kiss drawers were my first purchase for the 100. Figured out that I don't really use the back seats and that the dogs need more room. AND slept one, 1, night in the back on the drawers with the 2nd row down and a piece of plywood on top of them. ...I had an OK pad but NOT enough room...
Just removed my 60-side seat. Putting in a low platform for cargo and trying to figure out a KISS-drawer height platform as well. Maybe an electronics location (audio amp, ham radio and distro for rear electrical.) My inital goal was a sleep platform extension for the KISS drawers and a...
