Whoops accidental send!!

Today I thought I would double check my readings before I sent this low voltage cutout back. I hooked it up to the battery with some fig 8 flex & it was fine so I looked at my photos and the red was to positive & the black to negative but if you have a good look I have hooked it up backwards. A classic case of innies & outies mixed up. At this point I felt like a bit of a knob and glad I never slag off anyone or product in case it comes back to bite me on the ass . Anyway connected it properly & there is no voltage drop whatsoever to the rear fridge point. Happy days & my battery will never get too low that I could

A few months ago I bought a baintech BG10 low voltage cutout.
This has 10 different settings you can adjust to have it cutout and in at various voltages depending on your preference . I wired this into the 6mm2 twin I had run to the back for my fridge outlet. My evakool fridge has an internal cutout at 10.4 volts but I would rather my aux battery not get that low cause my thinking was the less often the battery is drained to a lower voltage, the longer life it would have. Anyway it wasn't until recently when I installed Leigh,s voltage booster & I was checking voltages I remembered I hadn't checked what voltage I had at my fridge outlet. When I originally installed this outlet in 6mm2 I only had .1 of a volt loss which I was pretty happy with . When I tested it today I had .6 of a volt loss. I decided to test either side of the BG10 & discovered I was losing .5 of a volt through this unit . This loss was now contributing towards this unit cutting out & therefore I deemed it to be doing more bad than good so out it came today. I do have switchable dual voltmeters next to gear shift that I regularly keep an eye on so it no drama, just a little frustrating after spending the cash & installing this unit. I now have a near new baintech BG10 for sale.( I guess I'll give it a glowing review in the for sale thread) haha. A six pack? No maybe a tallie?any takers?

Looks like it could do with adjusting upwards.. I like the white Light Bar! I was going suggest buying a H4 adapter which allows you to simply plug in between the harness plug and the globe to get your high beam. Not cutting, soldering or scotch locking then

Do you have a link to one of these adapters?

I agree to turn them up.This adaptor would have saved me today as everything took way longer than it should have. But I guess that's why I'm not paid by the hour. Haha

Today I wired up my lightbar

High beam only


High beam and led light bar

Thanks mate, I was always going paint the ally because it was grey and then got carried away and did the lot. It did turn out better than I thought.
Cheers Matt

I don't think I've ever seen a colour coded light bar before. That looks great Matt.

Fitted Leigh W,s alternator voltage booster. I was getting 13.8 volts cold and am now getting 14.2 volts. Nice

Mounted my led bar after spraying it up and ally mounting bar up to match bullbar. I identified the high beam wire at the back of rhs headlight but not sure how I'm going to solder on to it . I may have to remove the headlight or aux battery, whatever is easier. Anyway I ran out of light so will sort this tomorrow

I fitted up my TraxRax yesterday. They look great and will be so much easier than getting them off the roof now I can reach them from the ground and have them locked up as well. I bought some quick fists & mounted them on the TraxRax as well so I have somewhere for the long handle shovel. I now just have to be mindful of the extra height when entering undercover carparks.
I also re routed the wiring exiting the chassis through the holes I want to use to bolt my sliders on which hopefully should happen in the next couple of weeks.

[Mattfunk 120]

I will have to move some wiring for the couplertec rustproofing on the weekend as it exits the chassis through one of the prefab holes in the chassis that I want to use for a bolt mount for sliders

[Mattfunk 120]

I started making my sliders at work and here's some photos. ( I didn't weld though as I'm crap at it) . Made the frames and sat one side in place to measure the mounts and to figure out how to secure them to the chassis.
I have to pick up some checkerplate tomorrow which is the only thing I should have to buy

Cheers HugoStiglitz, I find the CKMA12 pretty good . I reckon the output on these is probably spot on for what is quoted. I used it last week to air up after a beach mission and it took about 2 mins per tyre to pump up from 15 to 40psi. Compressor does get a little hot but not a problem with the bonnet open, I'll probably use a glove to disconnect hose next time though.
Cheers Matt

[HugoStiglitz]

Hey matt nice build

Loving the amts bracket for the compressor

Question. How do you find that CKMA12?
I'm tossing up between that one and the twin motor CKMTA12
use will be tyres after the beach or off road but air lockers down the track also just can't decide which one will suit best
