Lessons Learned - recap
I got an email from Kurt B today asking about lessons learned. I’ve been meaning to post this for a while so I thought it would be good to recap. The “improvements” category also flags posts with ideas.
- get 110 VAC charger instead of 220
- get a better DC-DC converter that can trickle charge the aux battery and has a choke voltage instead of just shutting off
- upgrade the rear suspension
- skip the power steering pump work - it’s not needed.
- weld supports for the front battery box to the frame. My box rests on part of the engine mount and I’m not crazy about that.
- learn to weld (buy a welder). I did not need much welding, but it would have been nice to be independent.
Added 8/31: I’d also put the volt meter higher on the dashboard so that I did not have to look away to read it. The analog meter is fine - I’m very happy with that.
