Like the tropical roof on the S3 landys ,,,
what reg are you using ??

cant remember what wattage and amps but the solar panel lived on my olds man jackaroo for approx. 2 years,, I grabbed it off him and installed 2 years ago


it is a beast of a system ..it runs my fridge all summer with no issues . when my old man use to camp shark bay steep point he was running 2 fridges one on freeze and one chill for 14 days with no dramas and then the fridges rely on batt over night


I have a few copy cats one is a neighbour the other a work mate ..I told them my old man did allot of research and allot of phoning around he paid 200 for the regulator from a company in Sydney ..copy cats have cooked batts because those ebay ones $30 ones do not regulate


here is a pic of the regulator (bluebox ) the box underneath is a add on digital display and cigarette ports that never get used
it glued on to an ally window

Won't be mud.... Brown ice is what I'm expecting. Only mud when you get home.

have to see what weekend brings as I won't know if I am working sat till fri night

Well I was treated to 2 OBD faults
0171 and 0174,
too lean on both banks.
LTFT's are both pegged on 25, as are the STFT's, V's are 1-2, maf V has been good, will check tomorrow.

Pedro! What is going on mate? Cheers

over both banks, can only be an intake leak,,
(vacuum leak? maybe?)
everything else is new...
not that that means anything around here---
I am expecting my "new" cloned 4.6 ECM any day now,, (with further improvements apparently) so I would like to fix this before the swap,,

Well I've finally fixed that pesky unruly mic and curly cord - now there's no need to have the curly cord stretched to the max when in use only to have it 'snap back' and disappear to somewhere on the floor when you put it down in your lap in during comms...
