Glass definitely keeps it's clarity, no doubt.




I'm not so sure about that (at least within the lens itself)... The only tinge i could tell afterward in a set of pretty yellowed lights on a...

Curious about the radio myself, some Google searching brought me to this:

Looks like a good radio that has a very annoying...

LED bulb prices are dropping, I think I paid almost $30 for one like this probably not even a year ago:...

I've yet to come across any that I couldn't get the "yellow" out of, though badly yellowed ones do certainly require considerable elbow grease to get them clear like new again (like 600 grit...

I'm not sure what happened, but I noticed 12V panels (ones rated 17-19 Vmp) much over 120W or so have recently all but disappeared :confused: So for 150 watts I think your only choice is to have two...

I don't think I've ever seen "CCA" and "Reserve Capacity" ratings listed on deep-cycle marine/RV batteries.
What I do see more often is "MCA" (Marine Cranking Amps) or simply "CA" (Cranking Amps)...

My thoughts as well.
I almost always just wire things up myself.

No problem.
You can mix different lead-acid batteries and have them charge properly as long as they are isolated from each other when the charging source (engine) is shut off.
Where matching...

I built several of these little LED clamp-lights using LED MR-16 tracklighting lamps (GU5.3 12V lamps). The spring clamp can be had from any hardware store's tool section, and I used some sheet steel...

I can't speak for the LR, but I do know the alternator on my Ford does have temperature compensation built into in the voltage regulator that reduces the voltage by small amounts as the temperature...

It appears that you have it mounted where it's up in the clear, which is actually the most important thing you can do with any antenna. If it's working for your needs, then no need to change a thing....

Yep, right here lol

Agreed, a TTB truck would be totally ideal for a mild ExPo/Prerunner crossover (with a good amount of 'crawler' you could throw in there too if you want... kindof all what my...

That was it lol.

Same #2 AWG (for 3% drop)

lol I don't think there's much need for me to take anything up with the OP personally, this thread by itself speaks volumes about the overall general disagreement over his short-sighted comment.
I...

Good info above. 3% is generally max loss you want for most voltage-sensitive items (fridge, radio equipment, etc.), though unless I'm doing something wrong, that calculator redneck posted seems...

^^
Great points (and glad to hear about all being accommodated)

No doubt I have seen whip length restrictions mentioned among some groups, though most of the ones I've seen were for the purpose...

Well, the same thing certainly could be said for you too. :)

There are several facts that have been ignored by many here, and facts are not variable like opinions can be.

One is the plain &...

I totally 100% completely agree. It's unfortunate there are some in the HAM radio community that don't (and is why we have a thread like this).

Alarms definitely can be a culprit for a drained battery (easy way to check is put a current meter on the wire supplying the alarm's power, greater than 100mA or so and you've found the problem).
...

I would suggest wiring the inverter using at least #6 wire to minimize voltage drop, allowing the unit to run as efficiently as possible.

If the inverter is, for example, 12' away from your...

I see "LT285/70R17 121/118Q" on the sidewall if you click on the pic (or maybe it's 121/116Q, can't quite make that part out real clear)

No problem. Glad I could help.
FSB.com looks like a great forum for sure, the little I've been on it (not actually owning a fullsize lol), though no doubt I've seen them push the SAS bit a lot...

Looking up their specs, I see they are 18/32 tread depth new, so that's pretty darn good to have 50% left on a fairly aggressive tire after ~55,000 miles.
Appreciate the report. :cool:

Coils that are not fixed (captured) into their mounts (allowing them and the axle to drop further by gravity during flex).

That's the same article I linked in post #20:


I guess they can keep the 2010 one a secret all they want then, however it's not going to make me pay $$$ just to get a back issue for that one...
