The Lair

Yeah, dometic and lights would really be it. Again, I definitely don’t need solar but I jumped at the chance when I could.

 

I got the controller mounted and installed, all wires labeled. All I have left is to add an inline fuse on the hot lead coming off of the battery which will arrive Thursday.

 

You do you. I'm just wondering where I stand on powah. Now I know. If worse comes to worst, currently, I always have a jump box with me when I camp. I kind of hope I get the chance to see if I can jump start the truck with it after a night of CPAP-age.

 

I've been eying that model, good ol' @RobP62 shot the shit on all things winches, I but tend to buy once cry once when I and my bank account can... not worth milling over the extra $200 or $400 for a year or however long before I'd upgrade to what I originally was looking at buying.

Figured I'd get more use in pulling down trees during storms than extracting my vehicle...but damn if it doesn't hurt to be prepared to do it when the time comes!

 

You gonna test it this weekend??

 

Eyeing what model the X20 or one of the sherpa models I posted.

 

Offer him $100 and breakfast at the waffle house

 

It'll take more than that.

 

Depends on how much I have to drink.

 

I was looking at the x20 option, then TW led me down even more options like the warn VR, Superwinch and then the warn nonVR models, and was looking at the m8000 option.

So of course I bought a drone last weekend...so we will see about the winch timeline, but told my wife that buying a winch was more of an investment.
An investment into putting her at ease when downed trees are blocking us from getting home (in 9in of snow) and oh yeah that whole trespassing golf course service path to bypass two blocked roads after already trying 3 other routes..aka Taco heaven by the way, and only six months into owning it!!

Man I wish she had recorded that night!​

 

If you don't have a winch by the time I give mine up ill offer it to you first. It's already done really well for me.

 

Thanks Skip.

 

There's an awful lot of truck pictures and talking about trucks in this BS thread....

 

FTFY

 

This ^^^ FTW!

Mornin' Matt.

Morning Lair dwellers!!

 

Whag about non-truck pictures?!?

 

*ignoring shit posting*

I purchased some beefy battery terminals last night. I have held off because most of them you need a hydraulic crimper for since you have to snip off the negative lead, but this kit gets around that.

Have those. They're awesome. You might need another terminal depending on how you're doing the set-up.

Harbor Freight has the hydraulic crimpers for fairly cheap. You can also get the hammer version on Amazon, but I want to say that both options are the same price.
