Northern Virginia Roll Call

I had enough to test the solar panel and I'm impressed with how much it's putting out even on the cloudy days

 

Mind sharing how much all of the components cost?

 

Just under $200 for the panel, charge controller, wire, mounting brackets, sealed rivnuts, and fuse. Plus silicone to seal the holes.

 

Is it tied into the existing battery now or is that waiting for the dual battery set up?

 

The main parts:

Currently, it's tied to the existing battery. I have a blue sea fuse block going to the existing battery and the solar panel is on one of the fuses on there. When I get my second battery, all I have to do is move the lead from the primary battery to the secondary and it will be on the second battery, as well as the accessories I want to move that are also on that fuse block.

 

Awesome, thanks!

 

If you have any questions let me know.

 

Well gents, better buckle up. The latest forecast shows as much as 17" of snow hitting NoVA tomorrow!

 

Im leaving for camping. The roads are fine

 

Alright gents, after a bit of work I got a few things I'd like to get out of the garage OBO on all of them except for the leaf springs and fog lights like to get a little money back out of those:

TSB leafs (part of the recall for the old leafs on the 05-11 tacomas) Were on less than 5K and pretty damn clean - @PyritePirateBill has claimed them as his own

OEM Ubolts -

Lower Bumper 05-11 -

Morimoto 05-11 fog LED Fog replacement https://www.theretrofitsource.com/assemblies/led-fog-lights/toyota-morimoto-xb-led-round.html - 100$

OEM coilovers -

2 x TRD Sport Rims 2009 version (Still have M/S LT/2 Michelin on them) -

OEM Skid plate

 

I may take your leaf springs! I've been thinking of making my own pack

 

Call me if you get snowed in and stuck...I'm not too far away. Lol

 

Not gonna lie, i’m Kind of jealous. Have a good time!

 

What fun is there in camping alone with 10" of snow coming down all day tomorrow...especially if you're not wheeling? @fatfurious2

 

Im by myself. Anyone can stop by. I doubt anyone else is crazy enough to camp. Its not even snowing anymore

Just going to be me, a fire hopefully, and my bud light lol

 

Yeah, but the big snow-dumping part of the storm is in Ohio right now and coming tonight and all day tomorrow. Lol

 

Needed to get out while everyone else is going crazy and buying all the eggs, milk, and bread

 

We will see if i stay

 

I probably going to have to go shovel, snow-blow, and plow snow for my 80 yr old parents up by in Fort Valley tomorrow afternoon.
