The wife? Just gonna cost more...

 

No, seriously. I need to come up with something.

 

Run time test:

ARB 50 qt fridge
Containing 12 ea 16 oz water bottles
Set to zero deg F
Ambient temp 62 deg F

Dewalt charger/power supply with 4x Flexvolt 60v/20v 9AHr batteries. 120v output.

Start time: 0830 1/1/18
End time: Pending

 

What are you doing? Running the fridge off of the dewalt batteries?

 

Yup.

I'm testing it for run time.

I have a friend with a very primitive, off-grid cabin that we visit once in awhile. There's a generator but it's noisy AF.

Want to see if this setup will fit the bill for a long weekend

 

His truck will be running on dewalt batteries by spring.

 

I would, but can't get those Dewalts in large enough capacity 12V.

 

You guys with swingouts/obnoxious trucks any suggestions for a place in central jersey (Middlesex/union county area) to rinse my truck off when it’s this cold? Could be a self serve or touch less. The one I used to go to turned me away now that I have a swing out or snorkel... I really don’t know which actually I’ve added both since last winter. Truck was not muddy when I went there either.

 

got in my truck this morning and noticed this

 

Can you guys recommend a winter weight chainsaw oil?

@Wheelspinner @captn.fat.beard

 

i got the blue bottle stihl stuff here.

 

They sell winter specific bar oil or the other thing people have done since the beginning of power saws is take a brand new gallon jug and pour out 12 ounces of oil. Then replace it with diesel fuel or kerosene. That will thin it out a little bit still do its job correctly.

I use the regular stihl oil year round at work and personal I just keep the oil on the floor of the truck and once the saw is running and warmed up the oil flows like normal. You don’t have that luxury with the electric saw though.

 

Don’t go in the carwash with a snorkel. Hit the self serve on 18 think its eastbrunswick carwash

 

total 1st world problems

But don’t go in with a snorkel.

 

I can’t imagine more water going in the snorkel then driving for over an hour in the pouring rain. And I’ve never had a wet air filter. So I don’t really see a problem.

 

This

 

Its not the water... its the things that spin around. Theyll rip the snorkel right off

 

Oh oh oh. Yeah. I would only go through a touch less type one like @bski22 pictured. Although many trees have tried to rip mine off, none have succeeded.

 

You guys have the anti-car wash snorkel models. Lol.

Hold on.

Everyone but Hunter has those.

 

Luckily trees are stationary and don’t pull like the spinning rags in the touch washes. Ive never been in a touchless
