There's a reason their account got removed from this forum and they now post under the BA OffRoad handle.

With the wind deflector on the Trailrax rack, it illuminates the hood a little but doesn't cause any glare.

Works great, lights up pretty much everything in the dark with minimal reflection off the hood (due to the recession behind the front edge of the wind deflector). I wanted something low profile so if I ever had to strap something long (e.g. lumber) to my roof rack, I didn't want the lights...

Holy cow, what a confusing thread... this is how the Trailrax lightbar mounts work (with the lightbar cutout):

Sorry, I thought this was for the 2nd battery in a dual battery setup. Their specs do say they’re rated for 150A alternators. You’d need to run two of these in parallel to be able to handle the max output of the alternator. There may be other factors worth considering as well when switching the...

Correct, LTO is safer and can go through more charge cycles than LFP, hence the higher price tag. I was just pointing out that LFP is still far safer than standard lithium ion batteries. The problem with LTO is they’re not ideal for standard 12V electrical equipment (lights, fridge, device...

Didn’t you see? This one is green!

I still would never recommend to a novice to try and build their own terminals, especially with the high amperage demands of a winch. If you're a pro at it, then go ahead. Apparently I'm not, I'll just spend my $2 on a pre-made terminal that I'll know will work. I appreciate the assumptions on...

Yikes. How much did that set you back? Any concerns about running LiFePO4 under the hood with all that heat and in a system that was designed to charge and run on an AGM? I'd be paranoid about the BMS shutting off if temps got too high and losing all power while driving.

The alternator is rated for 240A, that’s not what it’s producing all the time. Get any 12V battery and a DC/DC charger to regulate the current flow and you’ll have zero issues.

For just starting out, I’d keep it simple and cheap. Once you’ve camped a few times, you’ll start to identify in what areas you’re lacking. Cooler with ice is more than fine, especially if it’s just a couple day trip. Find a cheap butane/propane stove, used will suffice. Doesn’t have to be...

I'm thinking my charger(s) will be mounted somewhere on the driver's side in the gap between the rear roll bar and the window, behind my molle panel. I want to integrate a board in there somehow to screw in a couple of charging devices (DCDC/AC/solar) and then have all the ports accessible right...

Ah, that makes much more sense.

Im still confused what the use case is for these high amperage batteries. The Ah are so low, it doesn’t make any sense for powering something like lights or a fridge.

Careful there! I can see how one might believe this to be true.

It is if you have a solar panel! That’s why they’re sometimes referred to as solar generators.

I’m confused by the question. Doesn’t your Jackery have 120V AC ports built in?

Yes, that part is completely normal.

LOL. That's like saying if Russia hadn't ever been caught doping their Olympic athletes, the would've been crushing the competition the last 4 years.
