I'm getting too old to be slinging a full wheeled trash can up into the bed of my Pro XT anymore. I've seen multiple options for sale that will allow hooking up your wheeled trashcan onto you hitch mount. Some options are very basic and relatively cheap and others are complex and expensive. To...

That would be nice for the right need but the price seems excessive for what amounts to a couple feet of wire, a few inline fuse holders, a short section of heat shrink  and a hand full of connectors. You're definitely paying for the convenience of not having to assemble the relatively cheap...

Update: I've replaced the OEM Yuasa battery with a new topped off Odyessy PC1200, which I was wanting to do anyway, but unfortunately it did not solve my slow cranking issue. The hunt for the cause continues. My next step will be to follow the cranking circuit to see what I can find. maybe I'll...

My forum search was fruitless so  I thought I could learn from from everyone else's experience here. Any help would be appreciated. The issue I'm testing the battery for is slow cranking when engine is cold and even slower cranking when the engine is warm almost since day one. I have had no...

OK, excuse my ignorance, but how are you able to turn a corner/curve at more than 2mph without tipping this top heavy beast?

FYI: Still delayed on the 2022 as well.  I logged on to ask this same question.👍

Thanks for the response @Andystoy19.Yeah, I'm aware of the shortcomings of even the 850w stator... why no one makes an aftermarket stator that can handle higher loads is beyond me. I'm pretty sure there's a missed market for them. Prior to putting in a second battery I'm looking at replacing...

I've read all the existing  related threads I could find as well as googled wiring options. I've decided to do the following to power all three power hungry items. Please let me know if I'm there's a better way to power all of this.  The light bars ( 50" 450w Front and 22" 180w rear) are...

This checked all my boxes and I ordered it from Amazon for USD $175, It's power rating was for 4ohm speakers unlike the Rockford Fosgate's 50w @ 2ohm rating so I shouldn't need an amp.    Much appreciated @Steelslinger . You just cost me $200 but saved me a ton of work.😁👍

Yep I looked at that one.... per the owners manual: "USB Operation The USB port on the back of the device is for firmware updates and charging devices only. Using it as an audio source will not work." Edit: after talking to Rockford Fosgate tech you need at least a PMX-1 or higher to get USB...

From what I've read those require external power and only support Udrive connections.. not a generic thumb drive of MP3/FLAC files unfortunately. I appreciate the replies regardless 👍

Unfortunately the Universal Bluetooth Rocker Switch Audio System only lists the USB port as a USB charging port but unfortunately not a thumbdrive reading port.

I listen to my music from a memory card/thumb drive. I ordered a Pyle marine boat radio which comes in a one DIN format that has slots for both SD/USB. I couldn't find a radio in the other round format marine radios that supported either type of input. If anyone's aware of one that has support...

Thanks. I have the front plastic Stereo liner but I'm going to need to rework the middle metal bracket to make room for the width of the one DIN radio.

I finally took delivery of my XT Pro a couple days ago. It barely fit on the 12ft trailer. I had to removed the ramps and put them in the bed of the Defender. The Defender's 113"/287cm wheelbase was almost as long as the Jeep GC's 121"/309cm wheelbase. In hindsight I should have backed it onto...
