    Jackery power supply issue

    Qualifier—i know nothing. But I use this same method. Jackery 500 into a Dometic cfx3 45 and it works just as you would hope. The only thing I could think that may tip the balance is if youre using the 12v or 120v outlet on the Jackery. Since it loses its efficiency using the 120v—>12v outlet...

    Redarc RTH!!!

    I had this last week. not sure if this fixed it, but i disconnected and dried out the connections since everything was pretty damp when i hooked up. After driving 20 mins i looked down and it had remedied itself. Hooked up the next day and it was business as usual. 🤷‍♂️

    Dashboard Illumination Help

    That same fuse for me keeps blowing. Did you ever track down the culprit?

    Dashboard Illumination Help

    Sorry, misread. But same principal. It just pops off on the drivers side as well. If you need to remove that lower dash panel there are also a couple of screws to undo.

    Dashboard Illumination Help

    The panel comes off by unclicking the black lower panel cover in 4 spots or so then just pops off. But the fuse you should be looking for is on the driver side. 10amp fuse for the lights and a separate fuse for the cigarette lighter if that’s not functional. (I don’t recall the amperage)

    Dashboard Illumination Help

    Ive got this going on too. Happened a few days back. I haven’t taken the display apart and all fuses are good. Just the illumination on the center console buttons. And I suspect as a result the map does not go into night mode regardless of the rheostat settings left of the steering wheel. Did...

    Auxiliary Fuel Tanks for 200s

    Thanks for the response. Hopefully the switch is all it is for me. My shop says they’ve had one other switch fail before. I started with just a red light, but no fuel level indicator lights. It transferred fuel that day and then went dead.

    Auxiliary Fuel Tanks for 200s

    @jmlockwood did a new switch fix your issue? My switch was doa. Currently waiting on a new one and hope that fixes the issue. Has anyone swapped out the switch for something a bit more robust?

    Easiest way to Remove a Rear Stock Bumper?

    No lift required. When you mount it an extra set of hands or a jack is useful as there is a little play in its positioning until you tighten your bolts down....and its heavy.

    Easiest way to Remove a Rear Stock Bumper?

    No rear cross member removal necessary. I picked this one up as well. You do have to remove the bumper hangers. I used a small cutoff wheel (on the rivets on the hanger side). Then a step up bit to drill them out. Didn't take long. I did drill extra holes to keep my hitch. But its pretty...

    Bumper from Logan’s Metal 4x4 out of PA

    I picked up the rear to replace the PO's smittybilt tubes. I thought it looked simple enough and I'm happy with it. I had it powdercoated locally to match my Trail Tailor front--which, if judged on welds alone, the Trail Tailor being far nicer. But since I decided not to do a swing-out, I just...
