If you can’t find one, get it repaired. I’ve had one repaired before.

Finally sorted out that Anderson plug at the back. The Traxide system, whilst perfect otherwise, always bothered me for the rear untidy look of the cable hanging out.

Stole this idea from a Facebook post.

First removed the white 12S plug - unplugged its plug below the left tail light, then fed that cable out through the mounting hole. No cutting, and can be restored to factory without any drama.

Rerun the traxide cable up over the top of the bumper steel, then out the hole. I had an older cable too, so wired that up for now, but will likely change out for a red Anderson later, leading to a mppt controller.

Mounted the two Anderson plugs into the eledric plate, then bolted straight into the same bolt holes the 12S plug was using. Aligns perfectly, and fits the threaded holes with the included stainless bolts. Incredible luck there!

Anyway, pretty pleased with the result, for an amateur like me :-)

Does used fully synthetic engine oil do as good a job at preventing weed re-growth out in the laneway behind the house as the old mineral based oil used to do ????


Asking for a friend.

When I was younger my Dad used to pour the sump oil out in a corner of our yard, and one of my mate's started calling the oily area Chernobyl!

Had heard if you put the old oil along the fence line stops snakes coming in bu what happens to the ones already inside

I would get some the rubber caps that slide over the end and seal the anderson plugs. Keeps the weather away

And i would make a plate and paint it to cover the gaps behind them.
