ADVENTURE KINGS FAQs / Q&A - Cahn's expert advice you can trust!

[@stevenkennedy3911]

Mad respect on the 80>>>>>>>79 Dyna fouby. A true built not bought!!!!

[@4wdsupacentreAu]

Cheers mate! I tell ya what, buying it definitely would be quicker and easier.... but once I factored in what I actually wanted out of the ute, this really made sense! No need for a coil conversion or a rear track-width correction now... May not go as hard as the V8 but the 15B-FT came in 6T trucks so it should have plenty of torque! Cheers, Cahn

[@MohammadKhan-nb5xl]

Just spend 12 minutes of quality time in this covid 19 lockdown situation....thanks guys

[@4wdsupacentreAu]

Thanks Mohammad, much appreciated mate - glad you enjoyed it! Cheers, Cahn

[@jeep2701]

Hey Cahn, my Dad and i did a 12v to 24 volt swap on a G60 patrol in the mid 80's. We swapped the big G60 engine and gearbox with a Toyota stout 6cyl engine and gearbox - it was a long wheel base use with a home made canopy with 4 bucket seats and a pop up bed.

[@4wdsupacentreAu]

G'day mate, That sounds like a very cool build - you don't see many G60s or Stouts these days unfortunately! I wouldn't mind either or both though! Cheers, Cahn

[@norsehall309]

I watch all your up loads and the info has helped me build up my D-Max, this new format make you all look real, and any more like this will only be a plus, cheers, Neil.

[@4wdsupacentreAu]

Thanks Neil, really appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment! We'll keep trying to make helpful videos as often as we can! Glad to hear it's helped with the D-MAX! Cheers, Cahn

[@sfm1022]

Y’all are some brave lads!! I don’t think I walk near the edge of a bathtub in Australia. Much love from TEXAS.....

[@4wdsupacentreAu]

Over here we only need to worry about being hunted down by big salt water crocs up in the top end, but in Texas don't you guys have Bears and Mountain Lions that want to eat you as well? haha I feel like we're both pretty lucky to live where we do, so long as you keep away from some of the wildlife! Cheers, Cahn

[@terencemay2486]

Yes I'd love to see a comphensive look at & parts list for Brenn's D max

[@vinayakpai4945]

I watch most of your videos. Could you please make a video rules to camp in Australia.. e.g. safe camping, rule to have a camp fire, etc for beginners?

[@4wdsupacentreAu]

Yes mate, if I can get Brenno to do his own FAQ video next week we'll get him to do some basics for sure! Cheers, Cahn

[@vinayakpai4945]

@@4wdsupacentreAu Excellent! Thank you so much.. Here are few points if it helps: Free camping, govt rules on fire camp, Best time to camp tips, Family camping, Save money $$$ by camping like XYZ, Safeguarding our nature and mother earth, night camping cautions, dos and don't while camping

[@rossstafford4531]

Yeah I’d like to hear about Bruno‘s walk-through with his rig and what he’s done to it 👍🇦🇺🍺🍺

[@rossstafford4531]

And like to see a run around of your project and rig 👍🇦🇺🍺🍺

[@4wdsupacentreAu]

Thanks Ross! Hopefully a few people are keen as we'd love to go through our setups a bit more. Once my LandCruiser is finished I'm sure you'll see plenty about it, but until then maybe Brenno will be convinced to do a walk through! Cheers, Cahn

[@the_gingernut_travels]

Love these videos guys! They have all really helped me create my 12v system! Would love to see more videos and a part 2! Cheers guys

[@4wdsupacentreAu]

More to come!

I reckon it'd be awesome to go through our vehicles a bit more too Daniel - hopefully we get a chance to do it! Cheers, Cahn

[@anotheraussiebattla233]

Had the E1 error pop up once unplugged for 5 mins hasn’t happened again but am running a triple 12v socket 1 socket is the kings 45l fridge freezer other 2 have kings 12v led strip lights

[@melissahoffmanmeloztripday5470]

Cheers , im having a crack on my 4x4 & 18ft ex radio stations broadcasting trailer shaped like a giant blue stereo trailer 😅

[@henrykable7270]

I have connected my kings 25amp dc dc charger all the positive to axillary battery positive and all the negative to negitive +black wire and blue wire to ignition in car . Ps.axillary battery is in caravan.

[@cherylalewis5717]

I've got a 140 AGM battery with a 250 w solar panel I wont to run a 90 lt fridge/freezer, 7 bar lights & top up 2 mobile phones will that be enough power to run

[@viewsONTRENDING]

Can you do a video about the Titan Drawers? Also would love it if you made them to fit Ford Everest, or have wing kits available

[@byronwallace57]

Hi Kahn, just wondering if you can expand more on the note that pops up at 8:22? how would I hook up 2 regulators to two 100Ah batteries? I have 1 fixed 160W solar panel and 1 portable 260W that I want to have both charging the batteries at the same time once I get set up at camp. Keep up the great videos mate 👍

[@4wdsupacentreAu]

Hey Byron, If you’ve got two batteries they’d be in parallel already right - so you’ll need to connect your solar regulators to the positive of one battery and the negative of the other! Flick me an email to [e-mail] and I’ll send you a diagram if you need! Cheers, Cahn

[@rjl110919581]

thank you for detail video look that no one understand what do 24v transport want use 12 v all camping on market as only get 12 v only every little 24 v on market today

[@4wdsupacentreAu]

Hey Robert, There is still 24V gear out there but you're right it's harder to find. I decided to convert mine to 12V for ease - but it was tempting to leave it 24V for the winching, starting and improved voltage drop benefits. I also had all the 12V parts I needed as well. Have a look around in places like Europe, Japan, North America and Russia and they still using 24V for some 4WDs! Cheers, Cahn

[@Andrew-iy8uw]

Love this show

[@davidkiner7743]

Hi, do you have a video showing how to wire in a Ctek dcdc charger with the 4wd 12v control box

[@tkdp54]

Can you do a video on using newer lithium batteries as accessory batteries please

Love your videos great .....

[@Australianzwayne]

Great segment mate. Your 4 part electrical videos are awesome and really helpful. Im building my set up now and using your helpful hints. Thank you. Would love a lithium battery $$$.

[@4wdsupacentreAu]

Thanks mate I appreciate the comments! We've looked at Lithium and I think it's something the product team will look into a bit more seriously as time goes on. Nothing planned yet at all, but it might be on the horizon! I wouldn't mind testing a few in my Cruiser that's for sure! Cheers, Cahn

[@Australianzwayne]

4WD Supacentre ok..ill let you put one in my BT ,lol. Ill pop into wetherill park shortly and get what i need for the system. Cheers mate

[@robtemoana3041]

How do you get hold of or make the boards you mount the 12v tech on. I’m assuming it’s just a MDF or marine ply with some old carpet stuff?

[@thiyaphea]

please do a video about fuse&relay box and choosing wire please as this is what 4wd biginner usually does

[@4wdsupacentreAu]

G'day mate! Here's a great video that does go through a lot of that info: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qafHlHubiMape7s Cheers, Cahn

[@darrylveale5816]

Hi love your videos just woundering the 120 ah lithium battery can I charge it with a normal agm charger thanks

[@4wdsupacentreAu]

Hi there, You will require a lithium compatible charger. Cheers, Courtney

[@igolfinoz3410]

It would be great to see you guys bring out a prismatic cell lithium battery solution.

[@adamtek6663]

I’m very new to any electrical systems and just bought a camper trailer. It came with a 105ah battery and I have also purchased a bunch of goodies from Adventure Kings including the kings 138ah battery and box. Can I put these two battery’s in parallel and use them like a dual battery ? I’ve read conflicting advice online and would really like an expert opinion.

[@UnleashTheBeast007]

Bring on the walk around.

[@harrysollmer1644]

Good day buddy I'm not into 4wd but am Very much interested in all the Solar power stuff, because my family in Philippines have many brownouts and why I don't go to The solar guys for houses or small apartment is because it's all a scam just to get you to buy all their gear. I just need my family to have all the Power they need because we hate the power companies who tell us You Will Never survive without Mr Electricity. So I need to learn all I can about how to workout how many solar watt panels I need how many batteries and all the stuff in-between.

[@craigrobinson2087]

Ok I’m stumped any help brought duel battery system light works but fridge always says error

[@vanessasmoothy9284]

Gidday. Hoping you can advise. I am setting up 2 dual batteries in the back of my wagon (98amp 12v AGM deep cycle batteries). One is in a battery box with built in MPPT for solar. I have a 25amp DC-DC charger with built in MPPT solar regulator and a Kings 12v control box. I then have two 12v fixed mono-si solar panels to mount on the roof. One is 170w and the other is a cheap eBay 380w (supposedly). I also have a 200w solar blanket with built in MPPT. Can I connect all this solar and if so how? Cheers.

[@LET005]

Really informative video, thanks for the insight...

[@4wdsupacentreAu]

Thanks mate! Appreciate the feedback! Cheers, Cahn

[@lanceh5411]

What is the collar for on the new 40 amp dcdc charger wire

[@4wdsupacentreAu]

G’day Lance, it’s a ferrite sleeve that suppresses high frequency “noise” on the input reducing interference and giving you smoother charging basically! Cheers, Cahn

[@t0m33r5]

got a 146agm battery run a 46ltr fridge 3.5amp and 2 amp accessories...run a BCdc what size solar should i use??

[@joelhartley1976]

When are you bringing out lithium batteries?

[@takenpictures]

Your 12V vids are great! Are the Adventure King products available in the US?

[@4wdsupacentreAu]

Hi Mike, unfortunately we are only available in Australia and New Zealand at the moment! Cheers, Courtney

[@maccamac7986]

Dude you presented awesome educational dual battery/solar KZbin videos. Now as novice for this type of dual battery/solar system setup. I would like to incorporate this type of package into my 2017 4 x 4 Ford Ranger , are you able to provide a detailed list so that I can purchase through 4WD Supacentre. Many thanks for the detailed videos

[@UnleashTheBeast007]

Question. Is there a thing as too big a cable?

[@4wdsupacentreAu]

Nope! But it just starts getting expensive and difficult to route. It’s generally overkill! But that said if you can go a size bigger it’s always a good idea! Cheers, Cahn

[@wepopcreative]

Awesome 😊 love Kings

[@anthonycoco5766]

What would be best for swags in winter and summer?

[@4wdsupacentreAu]

I'll add this to the list for Brenno's camping FAQ video! But, generally swags are pretty good for all seasons! the small air volume inside them once you're inside with a good sleeping bag means they stay pretty toasty, plus you can open them up for a breeze on hotter nights. Just make sure they've got decent mesh so you can keep insects out! Cheers, Cahn

[@anthonycoco5766]

4WD Supacentre I don’t have a sleeping bag can you sell one cheap to me please

[@danielhayes1253]

What do you reckon is the best way to power a fridge in a Hilux Ute with no canopy just a hard cover

[@Bigsoot7393]

Dual battery mate you don't need solar if you drive it daily

[@deborahlee8135]

Do you have any suggestions on best idiots guide to understanding basic 12v and the concepts?

Hey Deborah definitely check out my 12V series here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bneZcoyXq75rbZI it’s all the basics and goes over most things from front to back of the vehicle! Cheers, Cahn

[@qmp666]

You guys should do the lithium batteries suitable for the 4x4 camping scene, If you cut the middle man out which is basically your slogan, and being able to supply all your shops, should make it affordable to all, , put up a add asking who will buy, take orders and bang the door will open , Davi b

[@4wdsupacentreAu]

Hey Dave, I agree mate and it's something I've talked to the product team about a fair bit - I think it is something they're looking into, but nothing concrete yet. I'll keep bugging them haha Cheers, Cahn

[@chrisrea7347]

Hi Cahn, its 2022 now and your videos have been instructive and motivated me to have a go!! So I bought most of the gear you speak about from Adventure Kings in NZ. However, I have one important question. I didn't buy the pre wired dual battery setup cables as I thought is was best to get the right length and run my own, BUT I am perplexed over the correct cable size??? The length of my run from starter battery to AGM battery (128Ah) is about 2.5 meters. I bought 10mm cable but I don't think this is big enough?? Also what would you recommend for connecting the 1500 Inverter via a 150A breaker, 16mm or 25mm? I am still waiting for my DC to DC charger to arrive from OZ then I can put it all together.

[@4wdsupacentreAu]

Hey Chris, Is it 10mm2 wire? If so it should be ok for a wire run of 2.5m! As for the inverter I’d always suggest the biggest wire so the 25mm would be the go! It helps minimise voltage drop and helps the inverter run much better! Cheers, Cahn

[@scotttroyahn4016]

G’day again awesome videos as always! I’m looking at putting solar power into my Ute canopy would a fixed solar panel down to a deep cycle battery then to an inverter work or would I need extra attachments cheers Scotty

[@johndonges3259]

Hi there is there such a thing as to much solar

[@Bigsoot7393]

No the regulators will stop overcharging

How come the king battery only has 12months warranty and the kickass battery has 5 years and other brands have 3 years, would buy a kings one but the shitty warranty makes me think it's not very good quality

[@phazyblue]

Are you 4wdrivers?? Yes I wrote about them for some magazine. Hmm not really what I had in mind.

[@4wdsupacentreAu]

Yep we’re all 4WDers, we’ve all done plenty of 4WDing and we’ve done it for plenty of years! And we were all lucky enough to work for a magazine where being a 4WDer was a prerequisite (but being a journo wasn’t!) which meant we got to go wheeling week in week out for a paycheque. Not a bad gig! Brenno has experience driving and navvying Comp trucks (as well as all the usual 4WDing and lap around Australia) Mitch was a jackaroo on a farm and basically never unlocked his hubs for a couple years and I build and drive fun project 4WDs as often as I can. Plus I was lucky enough to get to go along with Toyota and test their new models at their proving grounds a couple times. We may not know absolutely everything about wheeling but I’d say we’d know a fair bit! Cheers, Cahn
