I have a solar panel and the next thing to tackle will be the DC to DC and lighting/charging outlets (just building the courage and letting a few more paychecks roll through). Will also be running a small Engel fridge, lights and a heater for the chilly NZ nights. I've learned heaps watching your videos, so congrats on succeeding where all my school teachers failed. 🤟🤪

    Great video! In my 2017 Hilux 2.8, I have a DIY 128Ah lithium battery with a Victron 30A DCDC and a Victron 75/10 MPPT coupled with a 100W solar panel. All this to keep the fridge full of cold beers, the freezer full of steaks and a couple of LED lights.

    Hey Shauno, I'm from California and I have a 1996 toyota 4runner that I'm building for extended trips into the wild. The final component I am missing is a 100-150ah lithium battery and a management system to control camp lights, power an inverter, and run a fridge. I have seen sooo many hours of your videos! They are the best 4 wheelin videos on youtube! keep em coming please! hopefully another big trip is planned for the near future? Cheers!

    Just scrolled through all 1400 comments looking for another Ford Everest owner and only saw one! Info is hard to find on outfitting the Everests so been watching a heap of your videos, thanks! Reckon I've missed the boat here but worth a shot: Ford Everest, looking to run a 200ah LiFePO4 battery with solar input for keeping our fridge, area lights and a few other creature comforts going during weekend trips and when my partner is on field work! Keep up the great videos

    Always something to learn. I've got a 2003 WG Jeep Grand Cherokee and hooking that to our almost finished homemade camper which will cater for the 5 of us. Still need to do the electrics on that though. I'm going to install a 100Ah AGM battery as that's all the budget will allow. I'll be running it off solar and to the car.

    As a member of two fishing clubs (a ANSA saltwater club, as well as a freshwater club member) I'm just about to set up my 4x4 with a dual battery system i.e. I've bought the Dometic fridge and a solar panel, so now I'm saving my pennies (while still having a fish and enjoying a cold one, haha) to buy the DCDC charger etc. Cheers for uploading a informative video and in my case well timed.

    Hey Team! We've just brought a 2003 Holden Rodeo (3L T). We've had to replace our crank battery as the old one went flat in 2 days of owning it! We brought a century. We are preparing to do our first lap around Aus - so are looking to get a deep cycle, dcdc and inverter. We've got the solar panels ready to hook up!

    Hi Shauno been saving hard for the best part of 2 years now to buy my first real 4x4, I have decided on the Mitsubishi Triton (after watching your 20/21 best ute shows) as it offers best value for money and reliability, I am about 6 months away from purchase and have been slowly buying bits and pieces to have it ready for the tracks asap, I am going to run 2 x 140 Amp/hr AGM as lithium are still way to expensive. I have 2 old 40L fridges and a 1500w sine wave inverter, I just purchased an induction cooker as well under $60 bucks works well (would love to cook up a storm like you guys do) I will also be carrying a 120w solar panel for those lazy days.Myself and the wife want to trip Australia so a touring set up would be amazing. Keep up the good work love your content.

    I'm a battery nerd, so currently running twin 280ah 12V LiPo (Lithium Polymer) home builds with custom BMS setups on each. They take stacks of charge and can run an entire camp including great tunes for a long weekend without a sweat.. Love it! It's currently not tied to the 12v on the Disco due to LiPo charge profiles not matching alternator output. Instead, I use a home charging system to top things off for now, with future plans looking towards a Redarc or similar with 2 solar briefcases for longer trips, and a 2nd alternator custom tuned to put out a constant 14.6-14.8v charge profile to match the heavier needs of my LiPo setup.

    Gday Shauno love the work, I’ve got a 1999 SAS Mazda bravo that I’ve put on a patrol chassis - I’ve built myself a 12v board that lives behind the rear seats with a kickass 170ah slimline! A redarc bcdc is the missing peice of the puzzle to keep my newly acquired MyCoolMan cold. As well as being the daily driving the old girl (formally known as brav) is my weekend warrior as well as getting me to places such as Robe and of course the Vic high country! Take is easy mate, I’ll sit back and enjoy watching the build up of all things landcruiser
