Paypal details please... I want one ...... A Blank possibly though..... I have a 140 amp dual battery VSR that i'd like to mount there.... that gives me the perfect mounting for it .... how much ?
 
Well, this thing is just too cool. Can I still get in on one complete? I probably missed it in the thread, but what is the final price (I saw the initial $300 guesstimate )? Thanks

Nothing has been started on the production. I have enough components now to build up about 15 basic kits except for the mount itself and the 1/0 cable. I have 38 of the Flaming River disconnects HAHAHAHA! :*(
 
I've heard of "property poor", and "house poor", and, "car poor", but not "Flaming River disconnect poor"! Anyway, I'm in when you make 'em.
 
Well look what I finally got my grubby little hands on. I've got a lot of 1/0 lugs to crimp so gotta make my life easier!!!

That is nice! I'm guessing not one of the cheapy's that are 16" long with plastic handles. The decent ones I saw recently were up to $250.





That's why I got "cheapy" and went with one of these bad boys:














16 Tons and $50! ;)

It crimps 1AWG terminals like buttah, and for how often I'll actually use it, Meh... :meh:

It's even easily repairable if it springs a leak.

Yours is a more impressive tool though.

As soon as this is released I will be hitting the "Add to Cart" button...!

Its close. I will feel a lot better accepting orders once the LX Lockbox and Orange Hub Fan Clutches get sent out at least. The York I'm not too worried about since its moving forward nicely and nothing has been presented to me as a possible roadblock. I was doing one more wiring run on this and made some other decisions about gauge placement to just make my life easier. Its getting really close.
 
To anyone that has an old kit from my first GB in 2008 and you would like to have the pulley anodized feel free to ship it to me and I'll anodize it at no cost.

That's very nice of you.:beer:

Pink for LX owners I presume?:flipoff2:
 
Well, I have some good news...

Since the Orange Hub Fan Clutches have all shipped out to their new owners,
AND
Since the LX450 Tall LockBoxes have all shipped out to THEIR new owners,
AND
Since the LX450 Mini LockBoxes are now in my truck ready to be powder coated,
AND
Since the LC 80 Series Scout Lockboxes are also in my truck ready to be powder coated,

I can now officially launch this bad boy!!! I'll be sending out an email blast so be sure to look for it. All of the wiring for this is done. The 12v coiled probe is ready and all that is left to do is remove my ground cables and measure them out to be replaced with 1/0.

Right now I don't have final final pricing but I will when the newsletter goes out so look for it!

Currently the options will be:
1. Bracket by itself- for those that want to install all of their own stuff and have the machinery and know how to do so
2. Bracket with Battery Disconnect only- no other wiring and no other holes in the bracket
3. Full bracket wired kit w/o gauge- this means no hole for gauge or switch
4. Full bracket wired kit w/temp gauge- exactly as seen in the photos
5. Full bracket wired kit w/2 gauge holes- no gauges included but will have two gauge holes

There will also be a separate build for the Blue Sea ACL but I have a few more things to figure out before I start showing that one.

All of the wiring is ready to go. Its mostly plug-n-play depending on the options.

A few more photos...

AutoMeter Water Temp gauge comes as an option and includes the switch to check upper and lower hose temps

The Voltmeter displays voltage for the 12v+ probe, the Main and Aux batteries both with engine off and with motor on to test alt voltage.

12v Constant Hot Blue Sea plug for use with 12v compressors or LED work light or?

All wiring is complete and the Blue Sea fuse panel has space for three more circuits.

The Flaming River disconnect's handle is removable for added security.

A thing of beauty! I will be purchasing one as pictured.

Well done sir, very well done!
 
Very nice.

Do you have any pics of how it would look with two guages?

My application is slightly different than most since I have a cummins transplant. Would be nice to also have an oil pressure guage.
 
Good timing, I just got started on removing my nasty rats nest of wire mess tucked in front of my battery and working towards a separate fuse block. Now i will have room for this!
 
Looking forward to seeing one of these in some form under the hood.

No but I could do some photoshopping to give you an idea. It would be offset from the first gauge because of the 6-circuit fuse panel but it fits..
