возвращаюсь к вопросу о рессорах. какие можете порекомендовать рессоры с лифтом 4" чтобы поставил и забыл. Чтобы мягко и комфортно.

I hope to all that is holy the "have you seen the new IG-88?" is a STARWARS reference. I lol'd **EDIT** Found this in some research on lithium banks. "For most lithium-ion batteries, the safe operating temperature range is typically between 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F). Exposure to temperatures outside of this range can lead to reduced performance, degradation, or even failure of the battery. However, the exact failure temperature can vary. In extreme cases, such as exposure to very high temperatures or physical damage, lithium-ion batteries can catch fire or explode."

i think most lithium battery fires are during charging or following impact rather than during discharge. if you're considering taking batteries out individually to better store you could look to encase them in the lithium battery fire bags like they type they will throw your phone in should it start smoking on a commercial flight. They look like of like a foil bag. I have also seen other bag systems to contain batteries for fire and smoke as a type of transport bag.

I like the end piece.

Awesome to see some of our kiwi outdoor clothing making its way to the other side of the globe. 👍 A fellow xj owner from down in New Zealand

Revisiting as this is one of the better channels to learn from without blaring background music and has good lighting with clear narration. I've done bedlining, noise decoupler, insulation with a foam rubber mat topped with forward floor liners. Floor liners are a massive upgrade as one can just dump them out when dirty, or gets filled with snow or sand. Product list for me has been Herculiner bedliner, Kilmat 80mil decoupler, 4mm Siless insulation in my 4 liter powered 1987 XJ Pioneer. Foam rubber mat is about 12mm which provides a bit more insulation itself. Undecided on the backerbaord/headliner refurbishment due to the fact in my girlfriends XJ along the side of the roof I installed some magnetic bars that are really usedful to hold items, and even the keys. Cheers 👍✌

Doing a similar restoration on my channel right now brother. Great video. You just gained a subscriber

Nice to see you Mike! Always enjoy watching your content,

I have a 200ah lifepo4 bank. And I live in Nevada USA. summers are over 100°f and winters are below 20° f. My fridge has lived in my jeep for 5 years now, it never comes out as we live in our jeeps 24/7. There's no shade here, we don't have trees where we are at so our cars are baking, all of our stuff bakes in the hot Nevada sun all day. None of my battery's have ever went past 90°f. The chargers see that heat and make the needed adjustments. These battery's are smart now, even my cheap elefast ones have lots of cool features like power disconnect if it's to hot or to cold. Bluetooth to monitor and all sorts of cool stuff. Get a battery bank and a decent charger. You will never regret this purchase I assure you. Much better than those portable units.

I'm also not a real overlander. Im just glorifying homelessness lmao. Nice work as always mike.

I live in the American southwest where we see temps as high as 122 degrees Fahrenheit. I run a deep cell marine battery that is isolated, but charges off of the alternator when the truck runs. It's mounted under hood on the opposite side of the start battery. I also have 200watts of solar on the roof, which is enough that I can have the fridge on all summer and never worry about the battery draining down. It helps that we have sunshine like 300+ days of the year. The best part is it's all been pieced together so in total I have about $400 into the whole system. We still have Jackery power stations but tend to just lend them out to others that we camp with for charging cell phones etc.

How do you know how much to ream? just test every little bit?

The lady screaming noises here in America are foxes.

Hi Mike, really enjoyed the video. The drawer system turned out great! I think one of the amber lights up on the tailgate would be good to light up the area behind the jeep and one on each side, inside the jeep cargo area. Also one mounted on the under side of the pull out drawer, as the drawer will cast a big shadow on the ground and you wont see bigfoot lying under the jeep waiting for the right moment...

The batteries used in systems like yours and battleborn-like 12v 100ah batteries are Lithium Iron Phosphate, the thermal runaway issues for recreation use (I.e. the Samsung Galaxy Note) are batteries which are Lithium cobalt-oxide or lithium Manganese-oxide. Lithium iron Phosphate is not prone to thermal runaway and is very stable… but isn’t as light as the other systems because Iron is heavy. the BMS system will shut down flow long before the battery gets hot enough to shrink the commercial separator which causes the environment for thermal runaway. Lastly for Lithium iron phosphate, thermal runaway threshold is like 150-180 Celsius… so cars wouldn’t get that hot even if the battery is powering the fridge

Mike, I use a Jackery 500 to power my ARB fridge. I keep it under a tonneau cover in the bed of my pickup truck in south Texas where the temp is regularly over 95 degrees F in the summer. I even keep the Jackery in a bag to keep it clean and transportable. The heat has never been an issue and as others have said I’m sure it would shut down if overheated. Im not an engineer, but from two years of use I have had no issues.

I didn’t catch what material of plastic did you use

Mike I can tell you from my experience here in south spain (40°C). Running a power station river 2 pro, fridge and solar pannel. I let the car in the sun and can get up to 60°C inside. No problem at all, they have a little fans that works sometimes but didnt have any problem with it. I read that when it get too hot thwy shut down, but necer seen doing it💪🏻

Mmmm Dorito memories

Hey Mike, I've been running a lithium in my land cruiser in Australia for the past year, and I've had no issues running an 85l fridge full time in 40c+ temps through summer, it just chews a bit more power as my fridge is black and not well insulated.

good job I have a question for you. Why not mount the tire inflator motor on the right side of the freezer? It saves you effort and time

Bully...jollly good.

looks great! that carpet really brought the look together. I am also interested in the battery question since I live in Florida and the heat is regularly over 100 F or 38C

Had vaping incident which involved very cheep, crappy batteries pushed to the limits? Or EV batteries pushed above limits to get that extra mile/range they should not advertised in first place? Or some other story of incompetence, malice and above all and most likely - profiteering. LIFePO4 safer than "regular" Li-ion. Safe operational temperature above 40°C, not camping in hot desert and not leaving battery in direct sun light anyways. Safe as any electrical/electronics. Something can short-out, spark with lead-acid or alkaline battery and start a fire.

Hey Mate, fellow xj overlander. I'm in the US. Too much to write in a message, but I have both. A dual redarc battery system, and I also have Jackerys. Feel free to contact me, and I'll tell you all about it. Cheers.

Another G’day from Oz regarding lithium batteries... I have 2x120 ah lithium batteries in my camping canopy. The spec’s are as follows - Optimal Temp Range - +5 to 60C BMS (battery management system built into each battery) - -5 to 80C BMS Cut off voltage - 15v BMS Low voltage cut off 8.5 - 9v I don’t think the max temperature will be your worry...

Regarding your concern, the American southwest has ridiculously hot summers. You can search some s/w overlanders and ask them about power stations and heat.

Yeah mate in Aus i run a 12 volt sealed battery in the boot powering a fridge also connected with a solar panel. Bloody well gets hot here and plenty of blokes lose their cars leaving batteries to get hot. Its all about management.

G’day from Oz... just a suggestion for your drawer table... use stainless steel instead of aluminium. Aluminium will turn everything black/dark grey. All the best 👍

Most of the portable solar generators can run up to 140 degrees Fahrenheit before they have issues then they shut down.and the fans kick on to cool the system down.

Where are you installing the wank sock?

Looking good bro as said before Rome not built in a day take your time trial and error get how you won't it , and don't forget space black mamba. 😮 catch you on the next one 👌

Do you have a link for that Carpetmunchers firm? Asking for a friend.

I can not answer your battery questions but am a little on the OCD side with projects as well. You did great with this one in my opinion.

Nice build Mike These projects are very time consuming. I'm not surprised you cant find much data on the batteries etc. If you think about it , the EV companies don't want negative info on the net , especially with the fires theyve had over the years and shipping companies that wont transport them. Li Ion and other deep cycles are fine , otherwise its always a risk , although minimal.

Use one of those little laser temp readers on the battery when its at the hottest and just contact the manufacture or find a spec sheet it should have the max remp rating, its a good question though and not one other people ever talk about, maybe if you have some sort of electric fan vent sucking out hot hair and park in the shade you could bring temps down a good bit

My Jeeps rear storage drawer system (AKA Samantha's bed) is getting its final furry touches. The wooden and aluminium frame are working well but looking dung, so hopefully wrapping it in carpet and adding some finishing touches will make it look more OEM and professional. This is the final build on this setup although a different fridge/battery setup will eventually clean up the system more. Thanks for watching and for all your support! Mike

As you research the lithium batteries, you'll see some have a low temp charge cutoff.

If it's using a battery management system (BMS) and it's Lithium Iron Phosphate (LifePO4) it is very safe at temperatures around 40 degrees C. The BMS will stop discharge at temperatures around 60 degrees C if it is configured in the industry norm. I have built my own LifePO4 batteries and am an electrical engineer if you have any questions let me know.

Nice job mate trust me mate don't worry about cleaning the carpet I have it in my van and its never clean looking 😂 have fun looking after it 🤞🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Across manufactures 40c.is best for meeting specs both pouch and prismatic. 60 to 80 is ok but depending on mfg functions may reduce. distension only occurs in pouch batteries.

16:00 Yeah that data is not typically published by manufacturers. Parking in the shade and ventilating the vehicle are the first things that come to mind.

We use a cheap chinese style battry pack in our work van for running the hoover and saw and the odd tools , its been in the van for about 3 years now UK weather so -6c ish then highs of what 30c in the summer , its shut off a couple of times when its been hot with a big Chop saw running on it and the cells have faded a little from not having a propper charge as its only ever charged off the van alt yours looks like a much better product. silly as it sounds we do keep a firealarm in the van and a propper electrical fire extinguisher near by as we do tend to have alot of dewalt , milwak , and other tool batterys in the van

So glad to see being a dad has worked out for you......Dad jokes are mint

Looks neat! Unfortunately, I can't help you with your question.

Hey Michael, regarding the Lithium Battery i can only really tell you from my experience: My setup consists of a Portable National Luna Power Pack 2 and a National Luna 50L Fridge. When i bought the power pack online from a store I emailed them and asked if the power pack works with lithium batteries, they said yes . (You have to put a battery into it). It is basically a fully portable Dual battery system that you wire directly to the starter battery and only charges the 2nd battery when the engine is running after some time. Aparrently National Luna now says on their website that their system shouldn't be used with lithium. I bought a 100A Renogy lithium battery, put in there last year and drove for 2 weeks in croatia, leaving the car in car parks and on hiking sites. I also have 150W Solar going into it and i never had any issues. Voltage and charge seems fine and I havent noticed any heat going on only running the fridge. However I think i will get this properly done by a professional in the future, electronics are not really my strength, i really made sure to make this a minimal setup I can take out when I am not camping and just using my G for forest work and construction stuff, Id rather spend some money on getting it done properly and having peace of mind than coming back to a car in flames.

Ref battery questions. Environmental Operating Temperature Charge Temperature: 0°C~40°C (32°F ~ 104°F) Discharge Temperature: -10°C~40°C(14°F~104°F) Storage Temperature: -20°C~40°C(-4°F~104°F)*recommend Operating humidity range: 10 - 90%

Carpet munchers generally do make things harder. Yes you are missed in the community. That's care in the community... Great video as ever. Keep it up 💪

draining a lithium battery's down to far can cause them to cook off that why they have circuit's that shut them down after the reach a certain voltage

I used to ship them out for a defense company in the USA. We'd always had to label these batteries while they were in transit overseas (3 days). Yes, one caused a fire. It depends. I've heard that overcharging can create a hazard or dependent on the manufacturer (engineers who created the battery). I urge you to contact the company that you purchased the battery from. How or where you store the battery. It goes on and on. Two words summarize it: Murphy's law.
