    Do you use relays for your air locker solenoids?

    I'm preparing to install air lockers. Looks like the solenoid coil uses about half an amp. I'm using some factory switches that I believe are rated at 10 amps. 15 foot or so 16 AWG wire run. I see no real reason to use relays, but the idea of putting current through a switch also feels kind of...

    LifePO4 and solar build for my Land Rover

    My current setup (dual AGM's under the hood and 5 fuse panels scattered throughout the truck) has been evolving into a spaghetti mess over the past 2 years. I've gutted everything out, and am planning a centralized location for all electrical components, plus one auxiliary fuse panel under the...

    AMP-L-START compatible with Battleborn lithium batteries?

    I'm looking at the AMP-L-START to maintain my starting batteries. I'll be running a Redarc BCDC and a Battleborn lithium. The AMP-L-START specs say that the unit is 'on' when voltage is >= 13.2. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Battleborn fully charged resting voltage 13.5+V? I don't...

    Building custom SMS apps with the Garmin Inreach Explorer

    As a software developer, I had a cool idea to fool the InReach in being able to communicate with the internet. The way the Inreach works, is: 1) Inreach must initiate communication with a phone number. 2) phone number can then reply back to the Inreach. In other words, you can't randomly text...

    Thinking about dropping the hi-lift

    Past few weeks I've been putting my Rover on a diet, and next on the chopping block is the hi-lift. I do primarily single vehicle travel, hybrid overland/off-roading. Nothing too crazy. I've done the trails in the Dinkey wilderness area, such as Brewer lake, red lake. The hardest I want to go is...

    Improving security... lexan windows? And some other ideas

    Had my truck broken into last week. Looking into options to deter theft. Beyond the obvious 'don't leave valuables in plain sight', what mods have you done? I'm considering replacing the driver side and passenger windows with Lexan. Has anyone done this? I'm also very weight conscious, and I...

    Where are all the solar blankets in the US?

    Solar blankets (e.g. https://www.redarc.com.au/solar-products/solar-blankets) seem to primarily be available only in Australia. Odd. All I can find are traditional, flexible, and suitcase panels here in the US. Also, are the blankets actually $1,500+ ??

    Best packable duvet/comforter?

    I picked up an Exped Megamat Duo 10, fitted flannel sheets, pillows, and a wool blanket. I'm looking to complete the setup with a duvet/comforter. I don't mind something somewhat bulky, but a regular bed duvet is obviously not an option. Is Rumpl a good pick (I'm eyeing the Puffy Sherpa)? It's...

    Satellite internet

    I'm looking to go on an extended trip (3+ months) around the USA. I run a software business, so having internet is pretty crucial. I like to camp in remote areas without a cell signal. I've heard the Wilson WeBoost is alright, but it won't magically give you 4G if you are in an area without...

    Ground anchors - RedRock vs PullPal

    I've found a few comparisons of the ARB, pullpal, and Smitty WASP, but I can't find any on the RedRock anchor: https://www.extremeterrain.com/redrock-4x4-12000lb-anchor-j100782.html At $150, less than half the price of a pullpal... the question is, is it worth it? I'm dubious about it's self...
