Great explanation right here. I already knew quite a bit of what you said but did not key in enough on the difference in the charging profiles. I thought the Anti-gravity folks had solved all those mysteries and were selling genuine replacement lithium. The low temp charging phenomenon is oh so...

OK, my take-away from reading this is I need to back up a step and take a new/harder look at the primary lithium batter thing. I do know lithium batteries somewhat (Owned a Tesla fast car) but not to the extent I need to, apparently I did buy into the anti-gravity thing where they claim their...

I think my one redeeming lifeline is that I do not have a Rubicon trail in my future. Now, that being said, the trails I am currently playing around on can have their "Moments" as all trails can. Perhaps just not with the same density of obstacles as the Rubicon. I'm learning and have to do...

THose are the exact sliders I am eyeing. Were you running the steel cladding for the lower edges? Any idea of the weight of those along with the steel if you ran that? Comment: I have discovered a lot of the companies I call and inquire about the weight to be clueless about that. Not...

Well... There's 60 pounds if you could run/charge the renology batteries from the vehicle system. I understand there may be some incompatibilities...

Question: Did you replace your primary battery? Or are you also running that? Your machine suggests that you are more of a full-time Overlander. I was thinking that I could run one 100ah under the hood, and tap that for camping needs which I do not feel will be exorbitant

On the weight reduction thing, I am seriously on the hunt. This JT of mine feels better with all the weight it recently lost. The lithium iron battery and the aluminum rear bumper are close to emptying my bag of tricks. I am now looking at those electric steps I bolted on to make my frau happee...

I think these mountain dogs could effectively replace sheep!

Look into the LiPO4 batteries. I want to say a 60Amp hr unit is 16 pounds. Antigravity makes a cool one. Biggest/fastest weight reduction aside from having a leg removed!

Thanks. Actually, THREE of those mountain dogs. My wife enjoys seeing out house destroyed faster than an angry regiment of termites! ;-) FYI, this is just a reader's digest format. There's a lot more on the link. I do the principal writeup over there and by the time I venture here, I'm all worn...

I would invite you to take a look at the thread and forum where I am posting my build(s). Not the "like" and "love" crowd there. Smart people and loads of comments and interaction. By all means post here as it is a good source of information. but if you're looking for more... Oh, and BTW, I am...

Roger that...Quoffee makes everyone more talkative!

Hopefully, you meant, "On the list! ;-)

Making an observation here, but there don't seem to be many comments from the membership here. Is that normal for this forum? Personally, I write up my work so that I can get constructive comments, like, "You bolted the wheel on inside-out, it would fit better the other way around." And I take...

And now prepping the used AEV bumper and AEV lights for sale...

And on they go...

Chinaman lights, are pretty average. I have to say, though, the quality of these and many of the things we are buying today is fairly high

Aluminum tube clamps...

And now I've added the yellow, 6000K driving lights. Man, I couldn't believe it, but the new driving lights plugged directly into the AEV harness! AEV Gladiator Rubicon (real-man-truckworks-and-survival.com)

I was hoping to pull 50 pounds off the front end, that was 75% of why I did this. Well the AEV bumper/lights weighed a hefty 156. This new Rugged Ridge bumper with lights comes in at 69.9, resulting in a weight savings of over 66 pounds! Wow, that's huge. When I bolt in the Lithium iron PO4...
