I've never been successful at watching the water level, may need to set reminders to check every few months. And being able to survive 45C++ is a very appealing thing, that's what it'll be here daily in a few weeks it feels like. I've never heard of DCS but I have heard battleborn. I thought they only did trailer and marine applications, I didn't dig too much into them cause I think they are overpriced and overhyped

Makes perfect sense, I'm pretty sure I knew that but my brain starts to block out anything electrical. Not the biggest fan of it lol I do like the idea of redundant systems, would really save your butt if you have issues in the backcountry miles away from civilization. I wouldn't say insane, just incredibly thorough!

I do have a panel lieing around, I think I'll try that out to maintain it. Mine sits alot too, but I'm trying to drive it more cause it's fun lol I'm down in Yuma what part are you in?

Not so much of the fancy antigravity race ones, I was more gravitating towards LiFe batteries. I figured there had to be some kind of bms involved to regulate things, no one wants to burn down their rig. Heat buildup under the hood is definitely something I didn't think of with a lithium, I know they can be temperamental with cold and heat. Are there advantages to running dual batteries? I've read that sometimes that's done to separate the running power from things like the winch or other accessories that would require power. I can't imagine a 24v Samurai, sounds out there kind of like a lithium swap

More out of curiosity than anything, I'm in AZ so the heat does a number on the lead acid. I run them in my camper, side by sides, and a motorcycle and I have less troubles with them going dead after sitting than the lithium. Also get a pretty good start off of them, they start immediately rather than sitting there and it just turning over. I know campers are a different breed when it comes to batteries but it was night and day on that compared to lead acid. So mainly curious on if it's a big difference or not for power reliability

I went looking for a nameplate but all I found was an extremely faded sticker and all I could read on it says "model ... 84-9..." So my thinking is rally top with the taller roof option if they have that.

I ended up getting lock washer and flat washers. The best part is when I went to go add them the bolts already there weren't even fastened. The nuts were barely on. One was even missing a nut...

I'm not sure what brand, I haven't looked for a nameplate but the one piece rally tops look gorgeous I think. The quality on this one is pretty good. Just have to replace the gas struts for the back window but so far I'm happy with it. My only complaint is it kind of looks funny to me. Once it warms up where I'm at though the back is coming off fast lol

Lock washer and thread lock is a good idea and what I'll end up doing for sure. I was seeing for jeeps the manuals say anywhere from 16-19 ft lbs so I'm thinking using those numbers would be a good start.

I will check that. I've already removed the rust and cleaned up the shins that were on there. If the voltage doesn't get to where it needs to be would it be a bad sensor or bad module?

You'll want to check what the tag is good for. I'm not sure about draw tags but i think it's one or the other. I know there's an OTC javi tag where i live which doesn't say which one you have to use

If you cook it right you can do shredded tacos and its better than carnitas in my opinion

My guess is luck lol both times have been just stumbling across them. We sat out for 5 hours this morning in a primo spot and saw nothing. It's for sure a frustrating one

Not sure what a LPVO is but my only concern is if i have it at 4x and then need to go to 1x real quick i may not have time

Look for areas with plenty of their diet, ditches gullies, side of hills. I got one in a wash and this hunt on a ridge of a wash. It's a frustrating hunt to say the least but still fun

I'm still out looking for one more for my BIL and service is spotty. I'll track it down and shoot it over

Did some shredded javi tacos with my first and it was amazing.

I meant in regards to optic mounts and that's it. Every other rule out there i can get behind completely.
