  1. Easy to moderate peaks/passes in Front Range

    Morning! Currently planning a road trip up to RMNP and Pikes Peak from Albuquerque, and was wondering if any of you locals have recommendations for an easy to moderate trail/road to the top (or close to it) of mountain. It would be the day after Pikes Peak, so something that latitude or south...

  2. Which Aux switch to use for ditch lights

    If it was 1 light, that would be correct. Each light has a 48 watt rating, so it doubles up to 8A on that circuit.

  3. Which Aux switch to use for ditch lights

    Apparently my 50% comments weren't making sense, what I meant was to have the circuit rated for 150% of the load (a 50% safety margin). So that would be, ideally for me, a 12A rated circuit running a 8A rated device. But, the easy way around all of that is to just use relays and solenoids to...

  4. Which Aux switch to use for ditch lights

    The 50% safety margin is just another way for me to make sure my amateur electrician skills don't make mistakes. Yes, since apparently they updated the wires that I wasn't tracking, I could drop it onto any of the aux switches

  5. Which Aux switch to use for ditch lights

    I wouldn't say I'm annoyed by it. I ran a 500amp solenoid to switch 6 for my winch, so my switch only pulls 1 or less Amp to hold it open. This one. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B082HMDMLG?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title And that eliminated the need for using the biggest switch for the...

  6. Which Aux switch to use for ditch lights

    Also it definitely slipped my mind. Perusing the selection of wires and relays currently, so I'll probably go that route.

  7. Which Aux switch to use for ditch lights

    Nice, I got mad respect for you ground pounders. I have 0 desire to do what you do, hence why I fly helicopters for the USAF. Also, both those countries are not great vacation spots.

  8. Which Aux switch to use for ditch lights

    Only that I haven't ordered one yet? I did a large capacity heavy duty marine solenoid for my winch, and that went pretty easy.

    For future reference for anyone also looking, this is the current chart for a 2023 Badlands Sasquatch. Bschurr, thanks for the heads-up!

  10. Which Aux switch to use for ditch lights

    With this being the response, clearly I have not lol. I'll go check it out, thanks

  11. Which Aux switch to use for ditch lights

    Ugh, a commo guy? At least you fixed them, not dealt with the crypto. Those people can be the worst. Me? I just break them/report them broken and then walk away! 🤣

  12. Which Aux switch to use for ditch lights

    While I want to believe you, do you know where I could find that new chart? Obviously it is an older chart posted back in 2021, but this is also the first I've heard of upgraded wiring. (I also haven't really been looking that hard)

  13. Which Aux switch to use for ditch lights

    Yeah, I'm a huge fan of a 50% or better safety margin, especially when it comes to things that can make my life real bad if it fails.

  14. Which Aux switch to use for ditch lights

    To start off, I'm not an electrician: I know enough to be dangerous. To that end, I'm looking to I stall a pair of ditch lights, each one has a 48 watt draw (according to it's website). Based on that and the 12v from the battery, it would be pulling 8 Amps. Based on the attached picture from a...

  15. Android Auto audio glitching out during camera swaps or "check rear seat for occupants"

    Briguy good luck! Hopefully it fixes it! I guess I'll add that to my stop when I go get a fluid swap and tire rotation later this week
