RTT problems

I did do a test jump with mine before I left but it only indicated it went from 100 to 98 at the time, maybe it took more than it said. Also is that you just turning it on and checking? Or turning it on and plugging something in? Cause mine didn't properly indicate until I plugged my phone in as well.

 

This hole has got to be worth some EAF points.

 

Just spotted this thread. Truck has been a slow working progress and no where near complete, but definitely excited about overlanding. Here's my rig. Cheers.

 

How many overlander points do I get for finally getting a trasharoo?

 

Dude watch out for those guitar case gun wheelin bandits down there.

 

The black ones are worth the most points.

 

They turn gray? Must be a desert sun thing.

 

Good soak in Rit dye and a wash brings them right back to black.

 

My camo one turned pink within a day of being in the sun.

 

My green one faded slightly after I was lazy and left it on all summer. Then again there were multiple weeks in a row I might or might not have forgot one of the giblets shitty diapers was in it too. Anything that doesn't disintegrate from that is ok in my opinion..

 

That's impressive now for water crossings just flip the trailer over

 

Just took that pic, but it happened within a week of hanging on the tire.

 

How much did your B-hole pucker up when you plunged that hole saw into your fender?

 

Yeah, how do we all survive?! The horror.

 

Trailer is watertight thankfully.

 

A hole saw would have been great... that hole is an oval! Drilled around the perimeter with a in a few spots and snipped it out. Then used a 4” grinder and a flap disk to take it to size.


Honestly more of a nauseous feeling watching the drill bit sink into the sheet metal.

 

Should have bought a $10 HF body chop saw. They make quick work of our cheesy fender metal.

 

The way I did it took all of about 3 minutes so I’m good with that. Took a shot at it with a pneumatic body saw first but the reciprocating action was warping the sheet metal so the grinder was the trick.
