    You just popped up in my feed and I’m so glad. What a beautiful area to camp in. I personally would much rather camp in the snow and the cold, the deal with heat. Gonna check out some of your other videos. Really excellent video.

    Well done. thanks for posting. I should be able to do a similar test next week here in Montana, then around Dec-Jan do an extreme cold test with my heater. I'll let you know when I post it up. Again. well done!!!

    Great video! I'll be snow camping this winter with my Fj40 pulling a pop-up camper, so just a quick safety tip: I noticed your foot slipped a bit on the trailer while pushing the tent up. Adding grip tape to the top of the frame rails could help prevent slips. Looking forward to more videos!

    For a fan i use a skil fan. No problem running all night. Can also have a bigger or spare battery because it is removable and is shared with a Sawzall that I cut firewood with. I have the same issue with heat variations from high to low. The fan does a great job of correcting that.

    Love the video! In this video you said you had a meter that was going to tell you exactly how much power you used with the diesel heater but you didn't mention it or show it again? Just wondering what the total output was?

    • @TrailTraveler
      @TrailTraveler  Місяць тому +1

      Here is the data I got:
      120w startup 4 minutes
      105w -115w ignition 2 minutes
      35w 2 minutes
      10w running on 1.6 power setting
      120w shutdown 4 minutes

    Great little trip. Nice job on the video. I don't think many people know what it takes to put out a video like this, especially in the snow. What drone are you using?

    • @TrailTraveler
      @TrailTraveler  3 місяці тому +2

      I only used the DJI Mavic 3 on this trip. The Avata 2 requires that I wear the goggles, and flying with goggles and driving doesn't work well. ;)

    Howdy Kerry -- Those are the Nitto Trail Grapplers, right? I'm close to buying tires..and noticed 1 year ago in a video you tossed those on. They seem to pack snow pretty well. Still happy with them after quite a bit of use?

    • @TrailTraveler
      @TrailTraveler  2 місяці тому +1

      No, those were Yukon 5:13 gears and a Front Range Driveline shaft. They probably had 40-50k miles on them. I will be posting a video over the weekend with all of the Starlink info.

  • @JEEP-N-DIRT

      @TrailTraveler  3 місяці тому +1

      Roughly - Driveshaft: Front Range Driveline, 60,000 miles. Gears: Yukon 5:13 50,000 miles

      @@TrailTraveler Thanks. I was thinking you had the small pinion. While not exactly a common issue, I've heard / seen this as a concern with 5:13's on the 44 axle, one of the reasons many opt for the 4.88 since the pinion gear is bigger than the 5:13. I went the 4.88 route (spicer gearset) with my JLUR on 38's (just turned 80k miles) since I don't tow often and live in moderate hill range of the Appalachian mountains so I see 8th gear regularly and still avg 15-16mpg. I appreciate the reply and information sharing.

    Try Gila national forest and Silver City NM. Most of the Gila is closed for the winter but lots of areas still accessible. I don't think I would go anywhere south of I10 because of the border issues really and always be careful crossing main roads I've seen two head on collision or tbones with illegal drivers running from BP. Beautiful back country areas though.. pelloncillas chiracahuas Patagonia etc..
    But I like silver City area better with mt baldy, mogollon ghost town, pinos altos, sapillo, turkey Creek and Gila Cliff dwellings..

    Can you show the updated suspension? Was it a straight forward process to repair it with the parts from Tribe?

    • @TrailTraveler
      @TrailTraveler  3 місяці тому

      There is nothing overly obvious about it that will show in pictures. At first, we thought we had to replace the main crossmember to work with the new arms. However, it turned out that my model was built during a transition phase so the new arms bolted right up to my existing crossmember, making for a pretty darned simple process.

    • @TrailTraveler

      It completely shuts down the unit and then restarts it making for a massive power drain. I switched to regular power setting mode and it did great.

      The trailer brake is adjustable and I just turned down the setting to 2 in order to prevent the tires from locking up. I have Milestar Patagonia AT-Pros on the trailer and it did better than I had expected.
