Haha hell no. Nobody is that dumb haha. You don’t approve? Haha

Yeah and if I had used a better drill it would’ve been better lol

Oh that’s a nice way to go too. My aux switches currently were all full so I would’ve needed different switchback or something but that’s a good idea too

@ I’ve been dealing with this issue too.. I’m going to buy another aux power box. Great videos keep up the good work..

@warmeds2009 thank you.

Thanks brotha!!!

Once you know what you are looking for it is. It wasn’t for me but hopefully others will be able to donit in that time frame. That’s how long it took us to do the second one

@ nice. I use videos to know more ahead of time too. I’m sure it helped people once they get that fender liner out of the way, etc. if they go that route

@appalachhaun_adventures yeah

Yup!! I realized after I watched all this. I was so focused on making sure I got everything on film that I forgot the basics.

@ Understand, I once welded a 7/16 box end to ground because I forgot!! Seems I always had to learn the hard way😃😃

@BrianMartin-s5h I have done that with a ratchet but I’m slower than most. Don’t might rake me one more time of learning. Haha

Thank you. They are awesome. And I have used it in 11° and slept perfect with just a blanket. Make sure your outlet hose doesn’t have any links or sharp turns and you will love it!!

Yeah. I hope they make the necessary changes for the UK then

It is super wild to stumble across that out there!!

You’re welcome. And thank you for the feedback

Yessir!!

I’m sorry man I am not sure of the bat. I would assume the process would be the same. Meaning that you take the negative and tape it off and then take the positive from the aux to the main. You may need to extend the positive to reach the main because I could be wrong but I believe the aux batt might be under the seat? Or that mash be the cherokees

I have been doing this since the video came out and haven’t had any issues. But I do not run the Auto Stop/Start so it hasn’t been an issue for me. Thanks again.

Mine also came with enough to do both boards twice. Once with black ones and once with red. And some extras

Good. I am glad that I could help!!

Exactly the camera man the whole video was more focus to recording the dude face and make silly jokes, like come on bro 🤦🏻‍♂️!!!! 7.5 for the mechanic 👍🏻 for skipping the min 14:30. 0.5 for the camera man👎

I did not. My negative is still in the box and have still had no issues.

I've been driving around all day yesterday the light hadn't come on one time in dealing with that stupid ass light on for 6 months with two new batteries!​@@Vikingoff-Road

@tomc9152 it sounds like this helped? Your comment is hard to understand. I hope this helped

Absolutely!!!! Was saying I've put both batteries in it 6 months ago and the light never went out till I did your modification! I hate that ESS crap! I believe what it does is just trick the computer to think that both batteries are hooked up and it's really just monitoring the main battery now​@@Vikingoff-Road

@tomc9152 oh good I am glad it helped. That light is really frustrating! Happy it helped

I don’t know if it matters or not, but I didn’t pull the fuse

Absolutely!! Thank you for allowing to chat with you guys I think it turned out great and even though I know yins I learned a lot about both of you!! Thank you guys again

Honestly I wasn’t entirely I knew what all those were! Thank you so much for commenting and pointing some of these things out I’m gonna have to look a little harder next time I go out there

That’s awesome!! I am glad you had a great time for your first time. Yeah as I am realizing. It seems I might planned a little poorly and had some circumstances I couldn’t change with people leaving and having other plans fall through. It is great you had a good time!!

Sounds like you did it right. It didn’t help for my sake that I wasn’t able to get down there until Friday morning. And it was definitely my choice to help out most of Friday with the rock crawling competition. It very well could have been my issue with how it was planned. We’re all of those rides with all of those vendor invites from the vendor? I didn’t have that aspect. I do think that if it were planned out better on my end it could have been better. I should’ve come with yall haha

@@Vikingoff-Road Ledges on the day was sponsored by Synergy, so they were on that trail ride with us. splilock gulch was sponsored by baja designs so they had their camera guys out there. I was infront of one of their brand ambassadors Warns world I happened to be on the trail they did their Warn media shoot, so it made the trail about an hour longer, but i was interviewed with my wife. So that will be a fun video when that releases. Dead Broke was sponsored by Best Offroad so their whole team was out there for that run. They fed us lunch on the trail and gave us a shirt. Dave Varga was there on all the rides I did he has done work on my TJ, but I was out there in my gladiator. I have a good friend that worked for Terraflex, so I got to be trail guided by their squad. It was a riot.

@leecaldwell1029 that does sound like it was a good time. And maybe I need to become a little more friendly with some of the vendors and make better plans about getting on the trails. I may need to pay closer attention to social media when I am out there or the schedule to see when a lot of these things happen too. Very happy you had a great time it sounds like it was fun

@@Vikingoff-Road very inclusive crowd at trail hero. lots of extra runs with people who wanted to just wheel. the concert aspect of trail hero was nearly unnoticed by us except on the night run it was going on while we headed out. which was honestly kind of cool

@leecaldwell1029 sounds like I missed out on some good wheeling. I didn’t go with a big group and our plans somewhat fell apart a lil bit with people getting sick and tickets

That is what I did. So I fed the aux positive up through and connected to the main battery and taped off the negative and have had zero problems with the light coming back on

@@Vikingoff-Road thanks for confirming! I guess this would be a way to bypass the aux battery so it does not become parasitic when it goes bad. But allow everything to operate as normal. Maybe even fool the dealership if under warranty (in case your wife takes it in before u can reverse it lol)

@@Vikingoff-Road one of the best videos on this as well. Great comments too!

Absolutely!! And thank you! Everyone in the comments have been amazing with information and things I never thought about

Now u got me thinking, the only draw back I can see with this configuration, is if u have a weak main battery and/or active heavy electrical loads when the ESS is active, then a problem could occur (like a no start) since the aux battery is not removing some of the load from the main battery. But I think this would still be better because u can turn the ESS off. And I assume the system will still monitor the main battery for low voltage issues and provide the necessary CEL and/or messages.

Thanks for watching!!

Oh this is good information to know!!

Share please

Yo they better be!!! We didn’t teach them for nothing eh!!

Oh hell yeah. That is gonna be awesome

I believe that is the one that I used on the main battery terminal is the closest to the cabin closest to the fuse box of those three it shouldn’t matter which one you use they’re all connected at that point, but I believe that is the one I used

Could’ve yes. But I didn’t want to take the chance of anything happening. If I didn’t or wasn’t going to use the aux battery I just figured I’d remove it all together.

Thank you for the support. It was a blast being able to help you guys and learn from you guys too along the way. Looking forward to those

He is definitely a good young man

thanks Josh, great interview and good summary of a fun weekend and great good first season.

❤

@jimgutzwiller822 it was a great weekend and an awesome year especially since it was your first!! Look forward to many more

You aren’t wrong. I am not a fan of their practices for sure. In fact there are other reasons as well that I am looking at getting a couple new DJI drones.

You’re welcome. More to come

Thanks man!! That means a lot. I am glad you are enjoying it

I can’t speak for anyone else but my remote start works perfectly

Yes I did have a tazer installed when I did this

@@Vikingoff-Road Thanks for sharing this video and your response 👍

Yeah absolutely. Hope it helped

No apologies needed bud, so the fender chop brackets I used were the Artec ones artecindustries.com/products/jl-front-fender-chop-kit-brackets-rubicon?variant=41410990014670&currency=USD&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADx9_p54cSQzz-K_fq4ZwHJfqVZl6&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIkcD-lPqFiAMVIimtBh1uyC0wEAQYAiABEgIRRPD_BwE And as far as the best top fender liners. I am yes. I mean for me I was looking for one already powder coated black. I liked the way the rear ones looked inside. But yes ultimately I am happy with them i have had a lot of offroad driving and they have held up great for the last 10 months. I did hear they quit making them. Not sure if that is true or not

Thank you! It is a game changer!!! In looks and clearance

My man!!

Thank ya. I have a Skydio 2+. It does really good but has some draw backs for sure

This is wild I haven’t experienced or know of anyone who has experienced this. I am sorry to hear this

Hell yeah brotha thanks!!!

Yeah lil bit haha

Yeah man it’s crazy what they do or think. I am sure part of it is we need to make so they have to bring it back to the shop for work to be done but part of it is also not knowing. It reminds of working in the metal shop with draftsman that never have. And they detail things out that are impossible to build. Simply because they are uneducated in practical matters

Haha it was fun!!!

I did not have to redrill the holes for the mounting bars. And I did not have to trim them. I could have but chose to too. That tent is an Overland Vehicle Systems TMBK. Size closed : 57”x49.5”x11” Size open : 56.5”x 94.5”x50.35” Sleeping footprint: 94.5”x55.25” All dimensions from their website.

@Vikingoff-Road , thanks for responding and answering my questions!

@SaltySeabee no worries hope the information helped

Yessir. I also found that the rasp is designed to twist in for easier insertion the first time. But the lube helps for sure!!

Yessir!!

Blessings to you as well. I actually found that one on Amazon. I am not a huge fan of that one after using it. I would get one that doesn’t have replaceable tips. Cause they work loose.

I think the best option for RWD is a little better planning and what I mean by that is use them more than you might need them. If there is a place that you might need them, then use them to be safe. Also you can get a small shovel and bring. I know people who pack a spade specifically for digging under tires to put these boards in

thanks for the information!, I have KO2 btw if that helps but no modifications for my 2018 4runner 2WD. I'm thinking going that route actually, traction board and shovel

@dslrjunkie the KO twos are a really good tire to trouble. You’ll have 2 Wheel Dr. it just be when you get to a point where you need a little articulation as soon as one tire comes off that becomes your drive tire and that’s where you’ll spend so plan just plan a little bit ahead and use them even when you’re not sure and you should be good.

Yeah if you remove it you would definitely need to re install before going to the dealership for service. $600 is a lot but hopefully you won’t have anymore problems
