You'll be running around 19v and less than 10amp from the panels to your charge controller. You will have higher amperage and less voltage (~12-14v) from your charge controller to your battery. Size your wire accordingly and adjust as necessary to avoid voltage drops over the various lengths...

Dang! We use Corroseal on boats...I didn't even think about it for our T4Rs! Brilliant.

Am I the only one that can't get these images to load?

Back in my Jeep days, these were problematic. Had one instance of a skid plate getting whomped and the plug failed. Drained that straight 6 rather quickly. (Edit: Wasn't mine.) The stock plug wouldn't have had an issue other than having a skid plate smashed up against the oil pan. I'm afraid I'd...

Was thinking I was closer to 225k but still not far off. Hit this today.

Not quite sure where the 20-25 grand number comes from. I'm willing to bet that it can be done substantially cheaper than that if it's $9k MSRP.

Here's an upgrade that I'm willing to bet isn't in the almost 30k posts in this thread........ant traps. Yep, effing ant traps. My runner was full of friggin ants today...they were everywhere...the seats, the dash, the carpet, THE RADIO. Apparently ants in cars is a thing here in the marina...

I'm a little late but here goes. Growing up my dad was a mechanic and I've had a wrench in my hand since before I could walk. Being blessed with good common sense and an engineer's brain (maybe a little dose of OCD thrown in for good measure) I've always had a hard time paying for something that...

That rack yo! ❤️the deflector!

Pretty sure MOS will strip off your wax. Better options IMO (I HATE waxing).

It sucked getting back in. What should have taken 3 hours took 8.5. If there was ever a time that I missed having extra fuel onboard that was it. Luckily there was gas available & we fueled up anytime we dropped to 1/2. As an aside, during one of those fuel stops met a guy at Wal-Mart filling...

Laughter is the best medicine, right? Sorry it was postponed but be glad you didn't have to deal with the mess that is now Wilmington. We left just before the hurricane hit to stay with friends in Maryland. We're going to work our way back to Wilmington starting later today. Roads have been...

Not today but yesterday. Had to run down to a quick oil change place for an oil change (not at home, had to run from hurricane Florence). On the way back she started running rough and threw out a cyl 6 misfire along with all the other beautiful dash lights that go along with that mess. Almost...

Don't discount a 3G that has "high" miles on it. I did and ended up coming back to it. Best decision I ever made was to just go and look at it. Needless to say, I drove away with it. A '01 SR5 with ZERO rust :wow:, impeccable maintenance, new Michelins, and super clean throughout. With ~220k...
