    future proofing mostly, also theory crafting. Not 100% ready to pull the trigger on a system like it but incase i go 100% Vanlife/Overlander and live out of the truck for the year and need a solar setup to power a fridge, a computer and monitors, lazy boy recliner, Electric jackhammer, and a Hitachi.....rabbit. all at once :D

    realistically, i mostly would like a second battery to power up an inverter, that i'd mount in the dead space behind the 40split seat, due to the fact the 400W one in the bed isn't great at charging power tool batteries.

    thanks for the name, i'll look into that video then :fistbump:

    Yeah running lights, fridge, laptop while extended camping with truck off. Maybe a second battery isnt necessary, but the idea of a dead battery 10s of km in the bush riding solo is scary!

    Can't see any wear indicators to reference but they look pretty decent. You're in Hamilton after all...

    I would say a simpler easier route if that is your only concern is a small lipo jump pack. I bought a cheap one that lasted a few years, I now have more expensive one that I charge once a month and just take it with me when I feel I might need it.

    :cookiemonster:

    My Factor55 Flatlink E showed up today :bananadance:


    Almost winch install time, tonight the wife and I are going to shorten my 100ft synthetic line. We are going to make a 60ft extension, and a 40ft that wraps onto the winch.

    :devil:

    This winter is going to be soooooo much fun. :rolleyes:

    I can't touch mey truck for the next 10 hours. The hardest part of my day.

    Anyway its a combination of trying to get the toe correct and trying to hold the steering wheel straight
    Then trying to see why the traction lulight is on
    Then looking at the wheel from the front csmber is too positive on one side straight on the other.......

    Tomarrow I start new again with caster...

    Thanks

    Funny thing it was rally good before the Bision tabs..... but its not the tabs its me.....

    Jeremiah had great luck with putting a dehumidifier in his heep, with an extra fan to circulate the air.

    Dried that heep out real good, took like 4 or 5 days though.

    C'mon, you don't need to give his starter any more performance anxiety.

    Me: The guy in the tocaoma o̶n̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶O̶f̶f̶ ̶r̶a̶m̶p̶ [that passed us]
    [Mom]: All you Tacoma guys wave to each other?
    Me: N̶o̶,̶ ̶o̶n̶l̶y̶ [Yes, even] when we [don't] know the person
    [Mother]: but trucks all look the same!
    Me: Not when they have a winch out front, back racks and a lightbar on them, That not be no factory truck.
    [Mom]: M̶e̶n̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶i̶r̶ ̶t̶r̶u̶c̶k̶s̶.̶.̶ ̶h̶r̶r̶r̶m̶p̶h̶ [Laughs]
