What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I love the SS3s, I have them as Ditch right now. I'm debating going SS5 for the front bumper link or the baja designs 5 pod.

 

Got some KO3s I need to install! Then time to break them in this weekend.

 

I have a set, too. Going to swap out my CaliRaised ditch lights for them.

 

what, no raptor lights?

 

when I was in high school I put put a Mac bulldog on the hood of my 55 Chevy. I don’t think anyone even noticed. But it was cool.

 

They’re worth it! Got rid of my janky yellow Amazon LEDs, never looking back

 

I’d suggest a bambeds design, easily stowed and removable! Sleeping diagonal above the wheels is doable for a single person in a 5’ shell, I used a tent extension and a 6 foot platform for a full size purple mattress and it worked great, not a ton of head room. I’m still looking for a steal on a taller shell. This one was $250!

 

Got me an 8 Gang AuxBeam. Hopefully it's not hard to wire nicely

 

I put mine on the drivers side. Got real tight real quick lol

 

Even on the lowest setting your going to melt inside your topper

 

So these things operate on a battery, there is no 'engine'? I saw a youtube vid where guy takes one apart, and from what I gather, a mist of diesel gets shot onto a hot glowplug, it ignites, then a closed ventilation path carries heat from the metal enclosure/ignitor/machine into the room you want heated. So, this thing will only operate as long as the battery is charged well enough to get that glowplug red hot, correct? How long would it continuously run, and what size battery is required to carry it through let's say 24 hours of continuous operation?

tia.

 

fabricated some relocation brackets for the resi, was not happy with the look or clearance with the provided piggyback brackets.
Did the ICON RXT pack, ubolt flip, and GM bump stops a few weeks ago.

 

Mostly, yes. Once the combustion process starts, the glow plug turns off and the combustion is self-sustaining. So current draw at ignition is about 12V and 10-12A depending on heater (Roughly 100W) and then goes down to 1-2A to sustain the fan...about (20-30W based on heat setting). A tank of fuel on low setting will run about 24 hours in my 5kW heater.

 

Okay that makes sense, glow plug is required just to get it started. Thanks for the intel.

 

Fan and FUEL PUMP, but yes. I have one still new in box that I will get set up sometime - when I do I'll put a meter on it and monitor the current draw. "How long will it run?" is a question like "How long is a piece of string?" question. How big is your battery, how big is the fuel tank?

 

I bet that did look cool. I had a 74 Nova and I had a dog on the back dash and his eyes light up when the brakes were applied and the head bobbed up and down when driving.

 

Drove my truck till it begged me to purchase gas

 

Is that OEM LEDs on the SR? Setup looks good

 

I sleep curled up like a roly poly anyhow.

 

It is trashed! Part it out!

I will give you $25 for it.
