Finished the Platform upgrade with a couple inexpensive Tool boxes from Menards. The large center handles weren’t needed so I removed them and noticed I had a nice square empty spot to fill. I searched for a little storage box that would fit and found one but shortened it a little and added a new base to clear the Aluminum…
I discussed air bags vs WDH with “my hitch guy” to pull the 400 with my 2018 Highlander. He definitely said I needed the WDH and he was right. Unfortunately the combination of the heavy tongue weight of my 2019 400 plus the weight of the hitch itself pretty much maxes out the Highlander’s tongue weight capacity so I don’t…
After a tough learning experience last fall out in the smoky west we came home knowing the weakness of batteries and solar power. After spending some time searching the forum I decided to install a 20 amp DC to DC charger to safeguard against drawing down our new AGM battery while traveling down the road and running the…
Earlier, I posted as a new owner to the Introductions section and mentioned I would post a couple of mods I've just completed, so here goes: After taking delivery of our new 320 S Max, I soon realized the need for a better spare wheel solution and a decent tongue cargo platform. Trying to mount the heavy and cumbersome…
I went to the hardware store today to get a grill cover for T@B's tongue but I ended up getting an air conditioner cover, which I think will work. Since my PahaQue cover fits over the accessory box, I don't need such a large cover for the tongue. I got the medium size air conditioner cover, but the small size would…
I finally have all of the welding done (by a welder, not me) and the two 6V golf cart batteries are in place. The wiring will be done tomorrow. Matt, the welder, first moved the diamond plate tub about 4" away from the T@B. Then he cut two slots in the bottom back support for the battery boxes to fit into. While part of…
Just purchased a propane grill for camping only. Since we're missing main ingredient to camp grilling (aka our new T@B) we need a test run to see if we have to return before the cutoff date. Wondering if we should buy another 20#, or smaller one, or if we probably don't need another tank, just borrow a friend's tank to…
So, first thing I noticed with our new rig is this sweet Yakima rack with the spare. It looks great but I'm actually kind of wary to strap anything else to it due to it's position. I feel like anything significant on here like a rocket box would not be aerodynamically sound and more weight behind the axle is prone to make…
So I made the switch to a 12V Battleborn battery and so far, I couldn't be happier. I do want to say that it wasn't exactly a direct swap of one battery for the other which is what everyone makes it sounds like. It took me a full afternoon to install the thing! The battery case that held the old battery was too small for…
Looking to install a modest solar sys. In new to me 2017 tab 320 S. Ordered 2 x 100 watt flexible kit from Renogy. Want to install 1 battery In tongue tub. Thinking I can squeeze a size 27 box and either AGM or deep cycle Flooded battery without exceeding tongue weight limit... any thoughts or recommendations?? No thoughts…
