Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

I was just trying to talk him into an OTPHJ. Then I saw the size of his hands and realized I wasnt up to the task IYKWIM.

 

Male or female?

I was thinking along the same, I have one of those jumper packs and the fridge does have the low battery voltage cut off.. although I just read that solar panels will shorten the life of non deep cycle batteries.

Dude, Rach is all over my ass for buying the last set of "essential" upgrades.
1. BAMF shackle hangers -essential
2. Reinforced spindles -essential
3. Mini fridge -essential

You're trying to get me killed. Just tell me it will be alright.

GD it now I gotta convince Rach that the insulator is essential.

Anyone looking to buy a kidney or perhaps 3rd testie?

 

Just tell her its essential for the drifter she wanted otherwise the truck might not be able to comfortably handle it. haha

 

Yeah that's definitely the plan for when the drifter gets here but I want it now!

 

if you get a deep cycle make sure you maintain it.

i have had a Northstar 31 for about 1.5 years and did not pay attention to it. I recently started checking voltages i would regularly see around 12.5. so i think either

a. alternator not up to the task of charging group 31
b. got some parasitic drain

i have a charger that can desulfonate and i have been running that process and charging like crazy to try and get my voltage back up. now i see 12.9 - 13 as expected but but it does not take long for the volts to drop back to 12.7 or so. with the truck sitting overnight i would not expect that much of a drop so quickly. hopefully i didn't bugger my battery.

moral: dusulfonate your shit and check your voltages on AGMs!

 

see John do it

 

I did.

 

You drank the punch?

 

1. BAMF shackle hangers -essential

going to have some on the way.

The drifter is still pending my wife's approval.

 

Never had three. Sounds like it could be fun

 

I think @tacomgee is getting a commission or something. He was like a drug pusher at camp. "pssssst, hey buddy come on over here."

 

Did he ask you if his handkerchief smelled like chloroform?

 

fool me once...

 

just take her camping in the snow/rain with Rob and I when we get ours and she'll be the one to demand the drifter. Ask me how I know.

 

....

fool me twice... please...

 

well, order has been placed.

@tyfoon11 where's a good spot to set up camp in your parking lot and watch you guys build?

 

Does it matter?!

 

For those with AGMs, a bit technical but you can skip to the "what do I need to do/buy" part.

Still looking into the 3rd gens since it's controlled by ECU.
Haven't had the chance to install Techstream yet.
