I’m about to order a rack for my M1101 using 80/20 Extruded T-slot. The inside of the bed is 86” long. I originally spec’d the rack out to be 81” long. Kind of a random number... Is there a reason I should re-engineer it for the full length of the bed? Advantages/disadvantages? I’m...

I know this is redirecting a very old thread, but thought I would see what opinions are. I too have been in the conundrum of security and utility. my M1101 is too wide for a tonneau. The. I thought of a roll up garage door, knowing that wasn’t what I wanted but it was in the b-ball park...

Did you solve your problem? I did a full axle swap on a M1101 a couple years ago. It wasn’t too difficult. Torsion axle, electric brakes, parking brake. Using the same wheels as my JKU.

I think the voltage drop is internal. I have my CFX50 wired directly to a stand-alone battery and the app reads 10.9, when the battery is 12.35 with my Fluke. There is negligible drop along the 12V supplied Dometic power wire.

If you already know that the voltage drop along the 12v Dometic wire is zero, then you don’t need to do a destructive test to measure the voltage at the fridge. If you still need to know these voltages, make a cigarette plug extension that you can tap into with test leads. It doesn’t have to be...

I just did a maiden voyage with my CFX50 and was getting faulty compressor warnings on the app. I also got voltage drops over 2V at times using the app. Other times the voltage drop was negligible. I don’t think the Dometic is measuring voltage at the connector. I was seeing 10.1 volts on the...

Is your alternator specific for AGM batteries? I was talking to the guys at Battery Outfitters when I bought a new Odessey battery and they mentioned AGM specific alternators that put out 14.7 volts. What regulates the charge on the vehicle battery? Is that logic within the alternator or is...

May I ask, what are the names of the manufacturer and model of this tent?

I ended up purchasing some new cables and spec’d them out with the same clevis on both ends.

Is this for a JK Wrangler?

Do you have a before and after comparison?

I have it set up now with all the USB, cigarette lighter, PowerPole running off of a bus connected to the battery. I also have a 50A Anderson plug separate and wired direct to the battery for an inverter or anything needing big amperage. Everything is monitored by the BMV-700, but I was...

I built something similar to this about a year ago. I didn’t originally have a solar controller in it and just installed the Victron MPPT 75/15. It also has a Victron BM-700. Should I wire it so the load is always fed from the MPPT (limited to 15A with a cutoff set at 11.8 V), or just use the...

I did what I thought was due diligence research and I found no simple way to buy a hard top that would fit or buy a tonneau cover that would fit in any configuration. I also considered having a piece of tonneau sewed at a sail or fabric shop and set up with snaps, and I couldn’t find what I...

I used 22.5 deg down. The stock axle is 45 deg down. My modified M1101 in the photo is 45.75” high empty.
