Oh, right... I don't have to pull the inner support, just the bumper shell. That shouldn't be too bad. Thanks for the clarification.

It'll probably add about an hour. I mounted the long bolts upside down and then when I went to flip them I lost control of the long tube spacer. Added about 45 min and a lot of dexterity to fish them and set them upright again. Just was hoping to not have to take it all apart again, but it's...

Dang, yeah I figured someone would have posted if it made sense. thanks!

I installed my IM bumper and it's great. Next is a winch, and looking at the front grill and space between it and the radiator, I'm wondering if any winch could be installed from the top? Anyone tried, and with what winch?

I set up the back cargo area with a short ARB drawer (slider top) on the left side. For the right side, I built out a divider and riser. Works well, but I'm ready to add the standard size drawer to the right side and the floor kit to trim out the sides and add more storage. I got the trim kit...

Ordered Redarc BCDC1225D with mounting bracket and fuses. Thanks for all the input! I'll put the CTEK as charge control for the trailer. One question I put to Redarc also, has anyone used the "Optional LED" listed on the wiring diagram for this controller? It looks like a remote indicator...

Great input, thanks! I've got a tech info req to Redarc and if they ok me on a small battery, I'll get moving on the 1225D, mounted forward the radiator. Then I can move the CTEK to the trailer to manage the charging there via solar. I suppose if I upgrade the alternator and run a heavy charge...

I am running solar, right now a 100 W portable (Rockpals), and may add a 100 W fixed on the roof. The CTEK works great when parked and adding in the portable angled to the sun. BUT one more thing, the Redarc 1225D lists as suitable for battery banks form 75-200 AH. My little battery is about...

LC100 - installed the Slee aux battery bracket, and an X2 Power (around 55ah) battery. CTEK DS250 charge controller. I mostly keep the ARB 50qt fridge running. Issue came up while driving slowly on the beach that the charger was not delivering charge to the battery. We got back on the highway...

I need an M10 (rocker switches with 12V for overhead 100). How do I order? Thanks!

Agreed. Note this is a GEL, not AGM. From my research yes, the AGMs take more voltage, and the GELs seem to be more manufacturer specific. Nothing I see either says this is a safety risk though... I don't think you can blow up a battery by going 0.2 V over the stated charge!

Renogy said: " Yes, sure you can (charge at 14.4V instead of 14.2V). However, please be aware that we are not charging the GEL batteries at the correct voltage. This may or may not cause the battery's lifespan to shorten. " So how much shorter lifespan? 3%, 15%, 45%? I got a great deal on it...

I got an ARB fridge (50qt) and a deal on a 200Ah Renogy GEL battery with Ctek D250SA charge controller. I have a 100 W solar panel inbound (Rockpals). Renogy 200Ah GEL battery The issue came then that the Renogy GEL battery wants a charge voltage of 14.2 per the manufacturer. The Ctek charger...

My bad, I'll check in the right area... I didn't think I could post there for some reason (being new...?) but it looks like I can. Thanks!

(10-21-20 moved to Power Systems) Wow , getting set up for power gets complicated... I got an ARB fridge (50qt) and a deal a 200Ah Renogy GEL battery with Ctek D250SA charge controller. I have a 100 W solar panel in bound (Rockpals) Renogy 200Ah GEL battery The issue came then that the Renogy...
