I feel exactly that way. A $1k 12" screen and $1k infotainment is a yes especially since you pull the dash only once. At $2k+ each it is a hard no for me.
There was never a plan to use both the XT and the USBc port to charge the EcoFlow. It was always going t be either or.
I have double checked the documentation of the SlimQ and cannot see any mention of it requiring a power supply beyond the input from the solar panel...
Given how absentminded I am I want to make it a zero hassle setup. The setup is intended to be
cigarette lighter -> Victron -> Ecoflow -> Setpower
That way the battery always charges when the engine is running and there is double redundancy on the connection to the Bronco battery - the...
Thr XT60 port on the EcoFlow is by definition unidirectional so there is no way to flow current into the Bronco. And the Victron will be there as cheap insurance rather than primary control. My PowerPoint timeout is set to 75mins to allow me to run LED strips in the back at camp.
Yes, a 100W...
That is an excellent point that I had not considered. Most of the time I would need a fridge while sleeping in the car is in yhe desert Southwest during winter and early spring. Days ate warm enough to need a fridge, but nights are usually cool.
Would like to add a fridge to the back of my Bronco so I would have cool water and drinks and also food such as meats and cheese for a few days. I sleep in the back of the Bronco so ultra quiet is a must. It is for me only, so small footprint is also highly desirable. I will not install on a...
This may be a nothingburger for now, but those of us in California have enough battle scars to be suspicious. A quick rundown of how we are being "protected":
CARB spouts, which generate far more VOC vapor via spillage than they prevent
Cannot buy nation-wide extended warranty from Grainger...
Hopefully the Bladiator is not fugly like its Jeep sibling when/if it arrives. Not that I have any plans to buy it.
But if a hybrid does arrive and is meaningfully better mpg I may consider updating. My bronco is a DD and sub-18 mpg is no fun at the pump.
I have 6112s on my non-Sas 23 BD, installed free courtesy of Bilstein, 2" lift over stock non-SAS. Love them. At the time the broncos were in short supply, they needed a fitment testbed and in exchange for loaning them the Bronco for a week they gave me a rental and installed the 6112s for...
Since the built-in search is pathetic I googled it, found these threads

@JTopsUSA responded to a message in this thread without ever addressing the floppy zipper handles.
Identical complaint...
Installed a JTOPS sunshade over the weekend. Quality product through and through, once you see it you understand why it is 3x-5x more expensive that most bungee based solutions.
However, there is an extremely annoying quirk - the zipper pulls in the front hang down and jingle as the top...
In order to access the rear speaker and amp you need to remove all the plastic. At that point adding sound deadening is very low effort, even if it does absolutely nothing. I used Kilmat, which is more reasonably priced

Hard to say if it made a difference.
On short trips I use this

On long trips I stick two Dometic 3gal water containers in the gap
