  1. Diodes for charging dual battery banks

    Thats pretty much what I already have going on. But I was thinking of a way to provide some of the charge from the solar to the starting battery without having to hook the starting and aux batteries together for the very purpose of not draining down the starting battery.
  2. Starlink Mini

    Ha well that's funny. I finally got a correct answer back. " Chad, I do apologize that your initial question was not addressed. You are able to Cancel your Mini Roam service plan at any time. When reactivating the service on the Starlink Mini, at this time you will only be able to...
  3. Diodes for charging dual battery banks

    No no diode. I will try to explain (hand drawings are terrible and I'm waiting for a contractor to draft up a full wiring diagram for me) From the starter battery positive lead to Genesis smart solenoid solenoid output through 150a fuse to 4ga cable 4ga cable runs to bed of truck and...
  4. Diodes for charging dual battery banks

    Yeah I did think about that. And the charge controller is under $80, surprisingly cheap. But it's not waterproof so putting it under the hood is a no go. I could put it in my bed along with all the other electrical stuff, but I would have to rearrange it - for the 5th time. But the bigger...
  5. Starlink Mini

    I ended up ordering the starlink mini I will say customer support from them is not great. 6 messages in, with at least 4 replies for each one, and they still cannot answer my question. Fortunately my service has only ever had one hiccup for maybe 20 minutes and thus I never have had to...
  6. Diodes for charging dual battery banks

    I must admit I have long forgotten the intricate details of diodes and how to select the right one for the right purpose. Sure, YouTube has great info but I would rather seek an answer here first. Quick backstory. I have modified my Genesis dual battery kit to having one 94R battery in the...
  7. Help with wiring an MXT575

    I'm curious as to what video said this. I have both my GMRS and CB hooked in parallel to Aux 1 for over a year and have had zero issues or weird feedback. Everything is crystal clear.
  8. Blind Spot Mirror Flash Sale!

    I already ended up putting the small round ones at a standard auto parts store on mine. I find that having them on the inside low corner is best. The LJ I purchased a few months ago had the PO put them on the upper outside corner and that is SUPER annoying, it really kills part of your view...
  9. Stellantis Q2 2024 Sales Numbers: Jeep Gladiator

    Well there is a difference between growth, progressing technology, and just greed. I think it is totally possible to have continued growth and expansion, but without upper management, CEO's and the like doing the bidding of vocal shareholders who want nothing more than better profit. Not...
  10. Auto Tranny Odd Experience

    Pulling codes is really the only way to get a true idea. I would suspect you somehow triggered the traction control with that pothole. I had a similar situation when mine was brand new, went to pass a semi on a small 2 lane highway, so had to give er the beans. Soon as the left tires hit the...
  11. A new hope ... (build journal and component reviews)

    Hmm, thats interesting. Being in CA I would think it should be easy to find those things. In my super small town I can find all the fittings I need - led free. Even found the right under sink filter and hose. I think you have an Ace hardware in Ca? They should have all the fittings you need...
  12. Stellantis Q2 2024 Sales Numbers: Jeep Gladiator

    For any industry to ever plan and count on always increasing sales is pretty dumb. It's not like an endless supply of people with endless cash can keep buying a new truck year after year. A better model would be more emphasis being placed on the brand as a whole for repeat customers - which...
  13. What's the story here? (wrong answers only)

    What mask?? I thought it was to keep your beard hair from falling into my lunch....
  14. HELP! Broke body bolt

    Yeah, even the infectious disease docs were pretty confused as to why the particular pathogens I had were there. I think there were 3 bacteria that infiltrated, likely during initial surgery, one was a form of staph. It was heavy for sure. the first 4 weeks were daily (or maybe twice daily)...
  15. HELP! Broke body bolt

    it is a real problem. Its not just ‘some’. But 9. 9 screws. And some pieces of titanium cord (think of baling wire but titanium not steel). the whole point for the second surgery and removal of hardware was to get rid of a biofilm that was impossible to kill without removing metal. Not to...
  16. HELP! Broke body bolt

    Oh man, that sounds fun. How did your wife do through that? Docs want to do a full brain map for me as well. But were surprised to find out the x-ray showed 9 screws and some titanium threads flapping in the wind when the last surgery was supposed to remove ALL the hardware and metal. :-/...
  17. I got this alert this AM and am a tad confused

    With infrequent driving and only 1-5 mile trips here and there, that is your problem. The systems of the truck have a pretty significant drain on the batteries even when off (as compared to trucks in the 90's). But a 5 mile drive will never fully recharge the battery. Short cycling...
  18. Towed an Axis X550 home today!

    I am conflicted on UTV/SxS's. They are definitely cool. But, IMO they are loud, stinky, and the only people in my area who tend to use them are the kind that dont care about anyone else and destroy roads and tear up meadows - causing more road closures ie ruining the fun of responsible...
  19. Towed an Axis X550 home today!

    These SxS are getting out of control. They're now the same size, or in some cases, larger than a TJ. But they do ride better. Are you going to replace that TJ with this Axis?
  20. The Duck Duck Jeep Founder Died

    I gotta say I'm also a little confuses. Initially I found her obituary (maybe it wasn't legit) that said she died from a rare kidney cancer. But a few minutes ago found another article, from a fan, saying they shared the struggles of MS together. Then I saw this. I didn't know she was in...
