Best 12v DIY on CZcams hands down
too kind! :)
100%
I love that you guys buy what works for you and not buy into the whole “you have to have this” (extremely expensive) stuff and do what most of us do and that is get what we want by doing it ourselves in the budget we can afford. It way more relatable to the average person. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Guys! really appreciate the kind words and the support! really means alot! Cheers :)
Yeah the “check out this, this is what you need.........shauno showing the 3k inverter,1k controller, 2k batteries.
If your a weekender you need a battery a VSR. Fridge and some lights.
Well said, this is why I've subbed 👍
@@dennisfreebairn8754 The reason Shauno is telling you about a $3K inverter and a $1K controller is because the company that makes them is paying him to do so. When they talk about specific products on 4WD 24/7 it's an ad 100% of the time.
As opposed to this channel about what they're actually doing/achieving on their budget without freebies as part of an endorsement or advertising deal. At least not yet anyway, it's still relatively early days for them and we can't know what the future holds.
just checked a couple of vids and yeah young guys know the fuck they are doing, loving that, away with that fancy ass expensive shit, and lets do stuff that works.
First aid box is legendary, love it lads
Cheers Fletcher!
Love it also hell good idea
mate, this is perfect for the people who just need the essentials none of the extra stuff, you blokes cut the $$ bullshit and help out the average guy, legends
Put a led strip along the the bottom of the gull wing door so when the gull wings are open they throw light in your camping area
"Damn Daniel" nearly killed me.🤣
Awesome job on the 12volt system, love the use of the 1st aid box. Really pro looking job. Well done!
Thank you!! hope you're having some better luck after the whole Howqua scenario !
@@AussieArvos not so much, started filming a few times but have struggled with how to present the next one. Hopefully have a better story to tell in May.
By the way, didn’t realise until I watched the Howqua vid again recently that is was you guys that ran over to help. Kinda had a lot going on that day, but just want to say thanks. I really appreciate it.
@@tmemy4wd No worries mate, looking forward to it! Cheers! :)
Love the video! Keep up the budget style content because it is really helpful for most of us out there who just want something that works and doesn’t necessarily have to have all the bells and whistles
I appreciate this.
Had a fridge to wire in.
Having you go through the parts, then walk through how it works together made it so much easier to know what I needed.
Love ya work!
As usual solid work from you boys, nothing beats a cheap and simple setup. No need to run a nespresso machine, milk frother, half of Harvey Norman and a 70 inch plasma. Keeping it simple and clean
Personally I love running my Induction Cook Top ever since I finally got my dream 12v setup.
So good hey i must say for me always going bare bone and getting on in age i apreciate the luxuries of a gas stove or induction stove top and my coffee machine its so nice not stressing about boiling water on a fire to make camp coffee. This is a nice start and can be expanded so well done on the build i will steal some tricks from you! 😅
Great work. Loved the first aid cabinet idea. I would have put your amp meter after the solar regulator. Also pretty handy to have one on your fridge circuit to give you a cumulative use total (you need to be able to disconnect it from the power source to reset this). Not really necessary for summer camping but super helpful for winter camping or camping in valleys or shade. Reset both at the start of the day and by the end you can see you have had 40ah in and 50ah out. Gives you an idea of how long before you have to go for a drive. Voltage isn't always a good indicator due to surface voltage.
So good to see this kinda content. Such good knowledge and budget tips to pick up and so refreshing compared to the expensive builds.
It's turned out quite well, even for a minimal budget.
The Anderson plug on the tray is going to fill up with water. You can buy seals for the canopy plug, and mount the tray plug on it's side.
You could run the fuse LEDs to the load side of the fuses so that the LED is lit if the fuse is ok, and goes out if it's blown.
And cable gland is the name you were looking for.
So keen to see Liam turbo his Patrol. Dan will enjoy doing another turbo install. Keen to see a budget turbo install and also installing Guages and exhaust system. If it ever happens make sure to do a full comparison of before and after. Awesome video guys as usual
Nice! Cheap and easy. Surprised no one whinged about soldering the Anderson plugs. That’s how I do it.
Well done lads. Just a tip with riveting metal to metal I have used silicone before I rivet. Rivets can work loose eventually and believe me the silicone will prevent movement.
Use Duralac instead. If you're gunna do it, do it right
Sick video legend ,
Gonna see so many people rocking first aid box 12v set ups now - not that that’s a bad thing !!! Love your work keep the videos coming !
This is awesome, Love how you did everything right! Grab yourself an inverter
Excellent demonstration!
@8:20 The name for those gizmos are Waterproof Cable Glands for future referance. First aid box is too good of an idea!
Awsome channel
Keep it up
Running the exact same setup works a treat no need for expensive setups
Just went back and rewatched this and only just noticed all the cuts with Liam talking at 14:35 😂😂
That is actually sick, love the lockable cabinet idea
Excellent idea with the first aid box. Simple is best👍
Really enjoyed that. What a great video. Thanks for the tips. Learned a lot. Also, hadn’t heard of soft soldering where you melt the solder then place lead and let cool. So cool. Also, I have fuse box with LEDs and taking them out to stop power leak.
Awesome video mate! Love your work
Wow what an awesome budget set-up
Luv your work boys.
Well explained, straight to the point
And no America Utuber dribble.
You have a new follower
Awesome setup mate!
Good job like the first aid box idea. 👍
This is great! Thanks for sharing.
Awesome bit of DIY made mine basically the same and works a treat keep it up guys awesome videos
First aid box is a genius idea, very smart.
Brilliant set up, keep it simple and awesome! I'd replace that fuse with a midi fuse if you can, as with corrugations the grub screws can come undone and the wire can slip out. Great for stereos, not great for dual battery systems. This is coming from someone who works at jaycar :P
Keep it up guys!
Only just joined the squad but this is amazing you guys do it all the way you need to or want to love watching the videos and will continue to watch
Well done mate, very easy to follow....so good I even let the ads play!
Totally awesome well done.
I love the 1st aid box idea cool
Great idea. I'm going to copy that setup
Very Clever and easy, great work
Thanks for the idea to use the first aid box. I used it in my fj cruiser. Works well
I’ve followed you guys long enough and you’ve come a massive in every aspect, so I’ve bought 2 stickers, good job lads. Maybe one day I’ll bring my Subaru back to vic where it came from and we can run some tracks!!!
This is sick, first time seeing your channel and subbed straight away!
I am from PNG, I have a open back nissan patrol Y61 and Y60. I really enjoy watching your videos. I wish i can do some changes to my patrol.
I love the solar system.
What a ripper video!! Great job lad 🍻
I know that Anderson Plug is meant to be waterproof but have the socket (battery side) facing upwards will mean it'll collect debris and moisture if the seal were to fail or when the canopy side is plugged in. Rotate 90/180 so that the aforementioned can't happen, it may seem picky but only trying to mitigate any points of failure for the future.
A great idea and well setup with affordable items, not like others on some channels that only use that stuff starting with R..... and costing an arm and leg for each component which is sponsored by them and well out of the reach of the typical Aussie. Keep up the great stuff.
Great job 👏
Thanks for the video. This is a nice budget power set up for camping. I am looking at setting up something similar. Unfortunately it looks like some of the prices have gone up since doing the video or you managed to get stuff on sale. Bunnings is now selling the small first aid boxes for $39, I couldn't find the out door Anderson plug anywhere near $10 and most of the other ebay stuff was postage on top or an extra $5. Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience and knowlage. Look forward to checking out some of your other videos.
Awesome video!
Not bad at all for a budget build, the idea for the first aid box is pretty good, most electrical panels are only a little different but that does what you need, hides your connections and enables access when you need it, nice work, the "grommets" are cable glands and can come in sizes from 8-50mm or so and are great for keeping water and dust out, if you have trouble with 12v sockets falling out, try a marine shop for the marine versions which push in and twist, ive used those for years and plugs dont vibrate out, keep up the good work and nice
videos !
Fantastic video! def gave me ideas as I need exactly the same setup.. Very basic as i came once in a blue moon and would only run a fridge but I already have 2 large solar built into my roof that arent currently being used. I would suggest putting your Solar on a switch to stop over charging the battery ( which may potentially shorten the batteries life span )
Not even looking for a 12v setup, but watching to support the fantastic local content.
Nice one bud.
Awesome. Greetings from Texas
Well done mate. Neat job too
Bunnings box. Brilliant!
I love your vids I look for them every day
Good budget setup mate.. Would recommend adding a inline fuse to the main supply in the switch panel. Also run the panel direct to the panel instead of through the fuse box
Your candor and genuineness have earned you my sub. At least until you sell out.
Great job brother
Well done fellahs
This will keep the fridge cold and lights on. All you need.
thanks for that I didn’t know about the Bunnings box.
Love the content !subscribed 💪
Best 4x4 channel on CZcams
Very neat!
All Very practical. Thanks
Great job 👍🏽
thank you for detail video
Nailed it bro
Well done 👍
Great video for the average jo trying their best to get out and about 👍🏻
i think thats a great little cheapo setup nice one
Good on you more people should do that it's cheap but functional and if by chance something fails your not going find any nasty surprises from someone cutting corners and best of all no brand name rip offs
Nice job mate, love the budget videos that the average person can relate to. As far as the fuse box goes, your see voltage there because your multimeter / connected lights etc. have a very high internal resistance. The output here will be current limited to the draw of the LED (only a few mA MAX) therefore it's not an issue.
Yep, came here to say this. Leakage is limited to whatever it takes to run the LED, which isn't enough to run much if anything else. Might confuse the hell out of you later on when you go to troubleshoot something, though.
Mate the best thing about this and what you have done is you got blokes like me who's on low budget now saying shit I can do that for 150 bucks and go out and have fun. It's better then other pages on CZcams spending 1900 on red arc stuff yeah there's a quality difference but I don't no too many people who can spend 2k on a canopy set up for a couple days camping
Awesome video again fellas love ya work!! Gonna have to pinch that first aid box idea lol 🤙
Thanks Mate!!
3:25. When you solder the wire into the connector you should also pre tin the wire end (apply solder to the wire) or heat up the wire as well as the connector. That way the solder will adhere properly to the wire and connector. The way you’ve done it could produce a poor connection, adding resistance at that point which will cause heat and voltage drop.
Bloody awesome video 👏 onya mate
I'm not a car guy but you make it hella interesting, subbed
Loving the ETU shirt mate
Great content. We don't all have the big bucks to pay someone to install the latest, most expensive gear. Good job, well done.
You guys are legends 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Good job boys, just have a look at how your solar panel is mounted, its a good idea to have it raised up to get airflow under it. Also, nothing wrong with eBay stuff, if it works it works 👌
Alloy angle I’m guessing, local alloy place normally has off cuts dirt cheap or a metal fab shop
We have the same lead acid battery in our caravan and we run a 3000 wat inverter on it have charge about 6-7 different devices along with a 300 way solapannel and it last us about a week and a half but can go longer if he sun is out
looks great mate very neat its giving me a few idea for my setup, but those stick on LED strips wont stick for a very long especially during summer your better off getting those ones with the little earth magnets inside them.
that’s clean 🔥
That first aid box tip is great, I've just got it all on a ghetto ply box but mines in a wagon so no one sees it
Good job m8 nice n easy
Crimp dont solder. It crack with vibrations. Great to see budget jobs. I need to complete my setup.
Good stuff 🤙
Hey man bit of food for thought for you. Choosing a maintenance battery like the N70T century that you've chosen you will constantly have to monitor the water levels as it's will always be cycling up and down and charging which uses the electrolyte in the battery. A Maintenance free battery for example Delkor Hdc27 would have been a far better choice for longevity
Can't top the delkor up though.
And they do lose electrolyte still.
Love Aussie Arvos, they do mods that everyone can do on their 4wd. Keep up the good work!!👍👌
Looking good mate. You should chuck some carpet on the power box it would look even better
That's pretty dam good for a bunnings box build
Love it lads
Cool video guys loved doing thev 12v set-up on my patrol. Have you seen the shelving Graham cahil has in his patrol it's a cool set up and available from bunnings
Thank you! People dis eBay and Kings, but I’m not made of money, and sometimes you can get some quality gear for cheap!
Smart lad I need to learn how to do that stuff
that power leak you notice happens because the fuse block sends a tiny bit of power and thats how it detects it. thats why some stuff lights up i deal with it too. thats how they work. i use the cheap ones all the time and have never noticed a problem with it so far, even with a main fuse at the battery doesnt get tripped. they were probably fine, but youre right it should cut power and thats it.
