MadTaco Build

Smart charger

 

So what dose that do? And is the other box a breaker? Why did you go with that style?

 

It will charge my aux battery, I can run a load off of it, and when the aux battery is fully charged the dual battery relay connects to the main battery and charges that one as well.
The main reason for this purchase was price. I wasn't ready to spend $300 plus on a DC-DC charger.
And yes, the top box is a + - dual isolation breaker.

 

What gauge of wire are you running upto the front battery?
Thanks for answering my questions.

 

1/0 AWG Welding Cable throughout the entire electrical system.

 

We have power!

 

My trip home had a few stops...

 

That’s pretty cool, dystopian.

 

Look what showed up today!

 

BAMF? Thought those were discontinued

 

Jerry had one left.

 

One hole drilled and test fitted with Low Range elocker guard.


I will remove it later and weld up the original drain plug hole.

 

I also moved the Hella plug with a reset breaker for the refrigerator to the back of the shell. I figured it would be in the way of sleeping.

I filled the old hole with a guarded switch for the interior lights.

 

The MadTaco had the rear differential rebuilt and received a new set of REM processed 4:88 gear set with new OEM bearings and a new flange.
I'm happy with the results!

 

Camping trip from a couple weekends ago.

 

I picked this bed kit up used and I've always struggled with trying to get it to work just right.
So today I rebuilt it, tightened it all up, added some spacers on one side to make it fit nice and tight, and now it's level and sturdy.
Ready to go camping.

 

Looking good, do you miss your tailgate?

 

I thought I would, but I haven't missed it. I have a fold down table on my swingout and a folding table in the bed.

 

I hear ya, although I suspect that even with a table on a swing out, I would miss my tailgate, I do too much work off of it, as it is a default work spot. Your rig is lookin good!

 

Thank you, I kept it just in case...
