Cruzer's Re-Build for the Rubicon

Just tried to ordering the gunmetal color but they only have 2 in stock

 

Meh, your truck's white. Any color wheel works with white

 

Looked and same shit. Maybe it’s a sign?

 

What brand inverter are you running again? Looking for a decent big boy inverter for an RV.

 

Look into renogy

 

Yeah, that's been my first choice. Looking for a few other brands from people with experience just to compare.

 

I have a giandel. Works as it should. You can get a 2000w for $160 right now which is a pretty good deal. Will prowse uses them and seems happy with them.

My bad @des2mtn kust saw it’s a modified sine for that price! But they still make a solid inverter

 

Yeah, pure sine is a must. They do make one though looks like, will probably stick to 1000-1200w.

Yup. That’s the one I got!

 

I just got a cheapy one on Amazon. This brand but they don’t make the 2000 watt one anymore.

Bless you.

Thanks!

 

I put a renogy in my truck but I got it for not much more than the one Cruz just linked. No idea what when the price jumped so much on it…

 

What size alternator do you have to power that?

 

Still stock. I just got it to run quick peak loads and I keep in the back of my mind that I can still slay my battery even with my truck running

 

What's getting me is there's two 1000w Renogys on Amazon and there is almost a $50 price difference between them, and the only difference I can tell is one extra AC outlet. Neither of these have "power saving mode".

They have another 1000w single outlet on their website that does have power saving mode for $260.

 

Had to look up what power saving mode did. Interesting. I tend to forget to power off the inverter after using it so it gets hot after a day of wheeling with it on but with no load.

 

I had to look it up too. It seems useful if you do tend to forget. I have the remote switch and a plug wired to the back side of my center console though so I can turn the inverter on and off from in the driver's seat so I don't really see the use case for myself. Here's the

$180 Renogy 1000W Pure Sine Wave Inverter with ECO Mode, 12V DC to AC 120V 110V Converter for Off-Grid Solar System, Home, RV, Solar Power Inverter with Remote Switch, Surge 2000W

eco mode version on Amazon. You can also wire in extra outlets to the terminal block just like a household circuit FYI

 

The cheaper one you can connect to other devices and monitor them all using the Renogy app. That the older version I think tho

 

Do those rattle? When I’m driving mine will vibrate/rattle, not that it’s on or anything just something flexing or loose, and bugs the shit out of me.

 

I hate rattles also and I have a rattle somewhere in my cab but it is not from the outlet or the switch no. They are screwed in pretty tight.

 

Ah, don't need the app. I never bothered getting it for the charge controller on my truck, and the inverter is going in my folks' RV.

Ooh thanks for the link. This might be the one.

 

Wait... Are you talking about the inverter itself? Mine is mounted in the bed so I have no idea if it rattles

 

It is here


Don't want to open it yet. Do you think I can hide it in plain site from the ?
Or maybe hide it in the shed

 

Best place to hide it would be… on the rig? Lol

 

This ^^ lol

 

LOL… all new parts go into the bed of the truck until a valid explanation to how we got it comes up…

I still haven’t told her about my 5 17s that I’m hiding up in my attic… and my Rago plate… and my third brake light coming in soon… although she’s been seeing all the BD lights..
LOL

 

hahaha
