Northern Virginia Roll Call

Any of yous ever have retinal detachment surgery?

 

let me know man we can see some amazing stuff out here and do some real fishing!

 

Can one of you electrical gurus give me some feedback?

I have my dual battery set up wired in. I am thinking about running one fuse block for accessories off the truck battery and using a high amp fuse like this so that block only has power when the truck is on.

$12 irhapsody Relay 120A, 12V Continuous Duty Relay, 4 Pin High Current Relay, Split Charge Relay Switch, Spst High Power On/Off Heavy Duty Starter Relay

Figure use a fuse tap that will trigger when the ignition is on.

Then running another block off the Aux battery that is always hot for outlets, camp lights and the fridge.

Is there a better way or any faults in my logic?

TIA

 

That looks like a relay not a fuse. You’ll want a fuse as close to the battery as you can get. I’ve got a Busman 5 relay bank I’d “sell” you if that’s the way you want to go.

 

Dropped the taco off for state inspection and alignment...we shall see what the alignment was at vs. where we end up.

Also got my SOS Offroad Concepts full skids in yesterday evening...I guess I'm inept as I didn't see any powder coat options when ordering...so rattle can primer and Rust-Oleum spray bedline it is, now if I can get back to being dry,60-65F and low humidity so I can knock this out!

 

Did you check the rear axle for misalignment yet? You do know they align the front according to the rear, right? If they are good alignment techs, they will find it. If they are not, they'll just set the front according to a misaligned rear which will cause your truck to crabwalk down the road

 

I didn't have level enough surface to measure but it is a 4 wheel alignment...

Shit I'd take it and fix my damn road we live off!!

I'd say it looked like my passenger tire angle (camber, right?) seemed angled to me in the parking lot yesterday, but I had to run home to meet ups freight for the skids, and didn't take a minute to measure or snap pictures.

 

Is there room for the baby car seat in there...D" brain at work!

I mean I've already prepared my girl for range activities, lawn mower cruising and impact driver work on the truck

Edit:
They're also handy when running the blender while she's in the living room/kitchen area!

 

Ha! She's ready for anything! She's even got 2 bandolier's strapped on!

 

D'oh. I know that. Early onset of Alzheimers is kicking my ass. I keep typing the wrong thing. I meant RELAY to be triggered by a tapping into one of the circuits that is only live when the ignition is on. I have terminal fuses on the + of both batteries already.

 

Yeah buddy, pacifier and teething thingamabob! Gotta keep them handy!

 

Anyone gonna be around Meadow Knob or Flagpole this weekend? Headed up there on Friday

 

Would anyone be interested in buying some of my patches that I just made?

 

I heard it's been stupid crowded

 

I was figuring it was, but gonna head there anyways, gotta get out and camp

 

I may a lot of time off if people don't start flying again soon

 

That's what I heard was the issue, that the campsites are packed

 

I seen that @skatefreak282 was up there this past weekend camping, I’m sure we can find some campsite off the trail somewhere
