Lost my SxS bag on Saturday - Black bag, three different compartments. Can Identify items, probably be able to pay a reasonable ransom to get it back

  If that is a recent set of pics, they have a little ways to go....

Yea, they got a ways to go..... Im guessing on the way things "usually work" they are going to ramp back up after the time that they can spend more time on the tower per hour due to temps.....

I wonder if the eyes glowed red hot as it burned......

  I think Im in

Ill be there sunday through tuesday

They are very strict about this in CA - Even during an organized closed event they have handed out tickets for it.

And no biters.... 

You're right, had to go back and read the manuel online for that controller, it says it supports 24v of panels but has to be matched to 24v battery system. Back to the drawing board lol.

If you want a full engineered drawing with calcs let me know.... 24v with MPPT is really going to be much more efficient than 12v

yep ill most likely be going the similar route as you both. 4x100 watt panels wires series/series/parallel to a converter box, to a Trimetric SC-2030 controller and Trimetric 2030rv battery monitor/shunt. Haven't decided on the inverter yet and when I do i'll def be hitting you up on the wiring Adam! Did you wire in a manual or automatic transfer switch so when your inverter is on, your converter is off? I'll also be doing the same batteries, already priced em at Sams club...4x 6v golf cart batties making over 400ah. I love talkin this stuff.

Be aware that controller will not allow you to run 24v of panels in series with a 12v system, nor will it allow you to reap more then 30amp (400w/12v-33amps)

I'm using four 120w 12v panels with two series strings in parallel to give me 24v to the controller (Victron 75/50 mppt controller) via 4ga copper feeds. Im pretty happy with it...

Inverter is a xantrex prosine 1800w via 4/0 cables.

I may just add two more 120w panels to just take up the real estate on the roof that is left, but it will be pretty much plug-n-play whether it just leave it at two strings with 36v, or just do a third string @ 24v.

I think ramping up the voltage from the panels is much more efficient then staying at 12v to the controller.

I do have a brand new morningstar 25a sunsaver duo if anyone is interested.

I think Bill Shapley rebuilds these....

I've been at the same spot on 215/Decatur for about seven years - Kenny 7027821262

@@JVZ (Jason) should probably be there first. He has the exact same trailer as mine except a white 2011 Dmax crew cab.

@@chris1223 will be in around the same time or shortly after. I'm not sure what he is driving these days. He'll have to chime in.

Still have the Titan with the old box in tow.....

You guys make the call - It really doesn't matter to me. The only input I could ask for is a spot that isn't too soft (or Ill just wait a few hours for someone to unstuck me)

What do I need to make this happen..... I haven't had the time to do the Nevada registration - Could I just get a California non-resident and be good for the weekend? As far as the pass getting in, is there still a kiosk at the entrance road, or do I need to get one before heading out?

We should decide where we would like to camp and figure out who's getting there first. So far it's you Chris. I'm cool with along the finger by bathroom 6 or at the base of the superbowl kinda by 8.

Sounds good to me!

Im in - sweet.... I should get there Friday afternoon.

Of course. Cars, side x sides, whatever. But the whole point of the trip would be to get a bunch of riders together. Either way- it's another DDR group trip for some good times.

That would be Feb 8-9 I think. Should work for me. Gotta check a couple things first.

This date would be great for me too.

Chris are you back for good now or are you going back to Afgan anytime soon?

I am back for good.... Finally.... (Happily unemployed)

Yes!

My work ride this week......

Piran, Slovenia...
