What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Wow, that looks oem.

 

That’s what she said!


(Going to a University reunion this weekend; warming up.)

 

What solar panel is this?

im looking at getting the cascadia mppt for a set up like yours, how was the install? I have a renogy 100w on the top of my shell running directly to the an eco flow battery pack but it turned the space into a mess running solar cables and DC power cables and fridge cables in the shell.
I ran a DC port to my bed but am thinking of rerouting with the MPPT to the truck battery and running the eco flow directly off that and keeping the fridge running on the eco flow

 

Its the lensun 55w 42”x14”. I ran the wires down a wire hider on the windshield on the PS, across the inside of the hood to the mppt and truck battery. Then the acc wires come out the mppt, through the firewall, around the DS seat, tucked into the console and pop out in the back seat footwell to my jackery, which runs my fridge, that sits where my back seat usually is. I remove the 2 #14s that hold the hinge for the larger of the 2 back seats and install a platform I designed, its being cut on the CNC tomorrow morning and will install quickly with tab and slot pressure fit joints. I was using just a piece of plywood with shims and angle brackets that reuse the oe bolts. Little upgrade a few hrs before I leave for Moab.
When my jackery 1000 isn’t in use, the wires will get tucked under the driver seat or under the rear seats. The install is fairly easy, just take time to measure and order the right stuff. Since you are going into a cap, you might want to use a solar “Gland”. Thats how I run my wires into my cap. Then you could mount your mppt in the cap and run longer wires up to your battery and then acc wires all the way back to power your eco flow. It all depends on your preference, no wrong way to do it. Once I unpack at camp I will take some more pics and can update, if ya want.

 

WTF is that….looks like you got a 8====D hanging from your mirror

 

I bet you can receive "Radio Moscow".

 

Spark Plugs and PCV Valve. Truck is at 72k miles. Team Oil Drop Videos were a great guide!

 

Lol it's a gourd my grandpa carved a little ferret into.

 

Someone else suggested this to me IRL, said it worked great for him. Too late now.

 

What plugs did you choose? Can you get them in a 6 pack?

 

Proud to say i never got any of those

(Nipple clips are the bow shackles up front for the non initiated)

 

For all humanity. I need to go pick up some H.P. and reminisce.

 

New window visors installed. Only had it less than a day and already have the "look backs"..

 

What type of tune did you do a medium tune or all out crazy tune?

 

Install an OPT 7 rear light bar under the tailgate, no one will hit you then,

 

I went mild/medium. On the highway with ETC medium it was very responsive to the point of jumpy. Personally would not want that as my standard.

 

Nice look. What front bumper is that?

 

@MrMobile Yes the drive "down the hill" is great and give a false sense of light right foot. Coming back up is the pits especially if you fill up around Golden. I saw an mpg of 7 coming up the hill last week. Good thing my company just laid everyone off and I do not have to drive down to Denver anymore!

 

Thanks! Interested in some pics and to hear how the 55w panel works for you. I was thinking about getting one that size but was worried it wouldnt keep up with the dometic fridge draw over time
