Gramp's Old Guy Build - Agnus the GX

While you messed up ordering in the end it’s actually proably better. You can add wires and different things easier, Less chance of corrosion.

 

That is cool, I would try to get a cover on it though, arcing just waiting to happen.

 

That is a good point. I will have to see what I can do about that since nothing exists today for these terminals.

 

plasti dip?

 

They make a spray on or brush on liquid electrical tape

 

Not a bad idea.

Yes do and I have it. Although the plasti dip would look cleaner then my horrible brush strokes.

 

How often are people looking under your hood that brush stokes are going to matter?

I’m interested in your opinion on durability the Odyssey battery after a few months. I’ve been looking at the 1750. It will be in a ballistic battery holder/cage in my bed so it will be exposed. I know you run everything off of that one battery. I’m also debating in my head if it’s worth running a dual 1750. Or if that single battery would handle the little bit I’ll add to the truck. I won’t have as many lights as you but the basic accessories. (Winch, radios, few lights). Not really planing on running things with the truck off.

 

My personal opinion would be to run a single based on what you say above. But at the same time you are building a bad ass truck so why not go the extra mile with a second battery too.

 

Comes down to space really. If I run one battery I would have a spot right next to it for my charcoal canister. Both being placed right behind the fuel cell. If I run two batteries then I would have to figure out another place for the charcoal canister. Well see once I get more dedicated to the bed cage. Thanks

 

Is there some reason you have to have a charcoal canister?

 

Trash the canister

 

Needs to pass smog.

 

Gotcha. I thought you were building a badass Baja machine though

 

Not if you register it properly

 

Do you think that will even work?
I don't know for a fact, but I wouldn't be surprised if they required you to have a charcoal canister that they would also require it to be unmodified in the stock location.

 

Nope just a badass grocery getter.

Your going to have to educate me on how to get around doing smog next time we meet.

Technecly I'm not suppose to link it in the first place but what the hell I only live once. They don't check for the canister but if it isn't connected it will throw a code and that will cause me to fail.

 

You can register it at my house. Then you could straight pipe it too

 

Emissions is a joke. It needs to be killed with fire.
