I asked Front Runner on their contact page of their website. They said the spacing between the tracks on their rails is 8". So now I need to figure out if my plan will work on my roof rack.

If you can, you should really think about keeping your OE blades. They're strong and won't flutter in the wind. The best part is being able to cheaply replace the rubbers. Stay away from SightLine. They're a poor replacement. Here are the part numbers for my 2018 for the OE blades and...

I am running a Gamiviti roof rack. It's great! However I want to add a Front Runner propane tank mount. I don't know what the spacing is between the tracks that run in each rail. Does anyone have the measurement? Once I have that I can check to see if I can fit the mount (using appropriate...

I'm looking to pick up a National Luna fridge. I've got a family of 3. My plan is to keep it in my vehicle full time in my Trekboxx. I've already got a second battery system wired up (100Ah LiFePO4 w/ DC-DC charger). It will be used for camping trips but mostly for around town (snacks...

@FrazzledHunter you and I did the same homework, but you turned yours in! I was going to email those guys at Rapid Power and ask them if their alt would fit the 3URFE, however, after doing a little searching, it looks like there are 2 different part numbers for the alt in the VDJ200 and the...

I didn't see it mentioned on their site, but I'm assuming these aftermarket alternators are not brushless? Meaning they would still be susceptible to dirt eating the brushes? Also, I'm not clear how your shop fixed the plug problem. This is an interesting upgrade. I'm very curious on...

It's also about the fact that the body of the truck might not be "perfectly" grounded to the chassis. Running a ground back to the battery, or to several points would ensure a better ground.

@Kurosawa this looks great! You really did great on that power board! I also really like your placement of the Lynx (inverted saves a ton of space). Congrats!!

If I understand your wiring from your build thread, you have the Victron Battery Charger (which lives in the engine bay) connected directly to the starter battery. You then have a (fused?) run from the starter battery back to the Victron Orion (hopefully mounted near your house battery) which...

I was looking at the original Ubuntu 16.04 ISO, and the autolauncher launches the local browser, but it looks like Geoff had Apache2 installed. I think I can replicate that. I'm hoping to git clone his repo and figure out how to pull down the FSM for other models that I have in my life. I'm...

Did you ever rebuild the ISO to get the images of pins and part numbers? I'm currently downloading from the magnet link posted on PAGE 6 and should be able to seed pretty much indefinitely at high speed (unless something wonky happens). I'm also curious about setting this up in Docker or even...

Here are a couple photos. The part number for that Ford grommet is 6E5Z-14603-J. There's one on each side of the hatch. I got this idea from Eric Sargeant.

After looking at all the setups here, I think I went overboard. I've got 2/0 coming off a group 31 battery to a Safety Hub 150 under the hood. I then ran 6 gauge wire to the back of my drawer system where I mounted a DC-DC charger, distribution panel and fuse block for my radios. Next...

It's been a while! I finally was given some time to finish the wiring from the starter battery to the SafetyHub 150. Here's a photo of the completed work: This was a lot of work. I know it doesn't seem like it, but I tried a different routing path. You can't really see it in this photo...

Whelp, if I had just proceeded I would have noticed that the old pads are green too. The also say ADVICS. False alarm!
