    Solar battery charge through the 12v socket?

    So I did a thing again. I pulled the rear side panels and even the subwoofer looking for a nice spot for my solar charge controller. I ended up putting the controller on the floor next to the blower motor for the rear a/c. Mounted the mc4 connector, drilled a little 3/8 hole, blasted that with...

    Thick enough layer of the adhesive will work, just make sure you did a good job cleaning off the dirt first. It doesn't need to finish flush. Great job!

    Solar battery charge through the 12v socket?

    Well, I do have the tow option. The test was successfully done. I knew the front 12v socket didn't have any shut-off but I wasn't sure if the rear was the same. I plugged in my controller and panel, left it for a few hours, came back to it and checked the battery voltage. My little V monitor in...

    Solar battery charge through the 12v socket?

    @MuddySpokes I also didn't realize that not all cameras run off the 12v socket. Some are converted to the usb power. I read your comment with my personal experience and application in mind. But still, a good idea. BTW, we can use a solar panel to charge the battery via the 12v port. There...

    Backup camera question

    There's a delay setting in the sync 3 systems. Turns off at about 7 mph. If you want it on alleged the time, I suggest getting a cheap action camera that has smartphone Wi-Fi connection for remote screen or a baby monitor. I'm doing research on getting a camera system for off roading with a...

    Solar battery charge through the 12v socket?

    @stamp11127 I can see isolators on Amazon that are 300 amp & higher. When you look at the fuses on the positive terminal of the battery harness it's a 125A to the fuse box and 350A to the alternator. So I'll be looking for an isolator and breaker near the same rating. I'm also going to check out...

    Solar battery charge through the 12v socket?

    Well that bcm reminder kinda puts another snag in the dual battery setup. Do they have a dual alternator kit for the 3.5 eco? I haven't seen one. How do the police do their dual battery? I bought the repair manual for the expy. Not sure if it will include any info for the ssv.

    Sunroof repair

    Did you see the video that was on the website? It's basically an hour & looks like a complete tutorial. Watch the video to see if you can spot the part that broke on yours then see what really needs to be removed to have full access to the assembly. If you don't mind working in tight spaces then...

    Solar battery charge through the 12v socket?

    I've been looking at the electrical system for the Expy. It's rough. The positive cable appears to go to the fuse box which then goes to the starter. Unless I can get my hands on a wiring diagram to confirm, it looks like isolating our main battery to become a starter battery might be nigh...

    Cost to tint all around (except windshield)?

    Go to a place in Winnetka. Kool vision window tinting. Ceramic all the way around including sunroof for roughly 700. Lifetime warranty. I've returned for a bubble & they redid it. Just keep your paperwork.

    Solar battery charge through the 12v socket?

    Yes Chuck thank you for that. Based on what I read I thought my panel regulates up to 20v but that's based on connections to tablets and phones. Regular ol dumb power just defaulted to 5v making it useless for my test application. It was an experiment that didn't give me my desired results but...

    Reverse camera distortion

    I didn't take pictures or video but I posted a walk through of the process somewhere on the forum.

    Solar battery charge through the 12v socket?

    Okay, so my solar panel only puts out at 5v and I got 0 amperage. @Cyclone thank you for your input. My camera requires a 12v input and most of the battery banks have usb (5v limit). Since solar only works during the day, I'd still need a compatible 12v system to run it. Seeing how compatible...

    Solar battery charge through the 12v socket?

    Since it's rated for about 15A I decided to have a go at an experiment with some parts I've accumulated. Per my own experience, I know that the 12v socket is always live. This should work unless there's a diode circuit that I am unaware of. I have a solar mppt controller that I purchased some...

    Backup Camera going crazy...

    Hey guys, so I just had this same issue. It went from sporadic snow on the screen to "not available". I was able to fix it with just reseating the connection and re-wrapping the cable at the connection. I didn't take pics since I had a time constraint & I'm doing this by memory here. You first...

    Reverse camera distortion

    I fixed this myself today. Such a pain in the butt to make sure that nothing breaks upon removal. I will say that I will not ever remove the trim that says "expedition" because there are so many holes that would have to be patched... I ended up removing the electrical tape at the camera...

    Aftermarket nerf bars/running boards

    I got a custom set that's bolted to some mounts that are welded to the frame. I then got some bolt-on steps that drop down. The guy did a 6 inch step rather than the 24 I asked for. Being in Los Angeles, where everything is way more expensive, this cost me $1200.

    Wanna go bigger on a budget...ish.

    I'm running 35s. Computer be damned. No errors. No problem with abs. 35s will give you clearance issues. I hear there are a few threads about tires. Look at the 33 Inch tires.

    Good things ARE coming our way from ICON Vehicle Dynamics, or so they say

    @16plati no clue. I asked about that but I didn't get any info other than what is in the response there. I even asked about the rear brake hoses since they go tight once you lift it...

    Tire pressures

    Get some chalk, run a line across the tire in 2 places, drive straight for 50-100 feet, get out and inspect. If chalk is gone in the center and lots on the edge, reduce the pressure. If chalk is gone on the sides but lots in center, add air. If chalk is equally faded, you good. If chalk is all...

    2015 King Ranch 4x4 - Lift, Rims, Tires, Roof Rail?? info needed..

    @iamretired what do you have plugging up the holes in the roof? If they're reusable or fancy I'd love to buy them from you. I'm in the middle of doing a custom rack and want to use the originals to mock up the holes.
