The Cascadia 4x4 VSS system lets you mount to hood with 3M. You could also buy one for a different vehicle and mount it to roof I imagine.You put rivets through the roof, right?
Was thinking about doing something like this someday but would rather not make any holes in the top
Are you asking about a drain in general, or the valvomax?Do you have the ASFIR middle skid now? If you do how hard would it be putting that drain on and then putting the drain plug on to drain oil through the opening the skid has ?
How much does the Fumoto stick out? Does it come beyond oil change hole on Asfir skid?Are you asking about a drain in general, or the valvomax?
I have a Fumoto and the drain kit comes with either a straight or elbow coupler that attaches to a hose.
It is super easy to snap the coupler on and put the hose into whatever container you want, then drain completely drip free.
Caught me in the garage.
Ahh. Sorry, I thought you were running Asfir skids on a 2.0. Still though, great pic. I guess I'll have to see after install skid.Caught me in the garage.
This is my wife’s 2.0, the oil pain on my 3.6 is a little different but about the same if I remember. Really doesn’t stick down much.
Correct thread is M14x1.5 which are the 106 series for Fumoto. I have F106S plus the drain kit on Amazon.
Nope, just high quality 3m tape strips the length of the Panels on each roof rib and weatherproof caulk around the edges to protect them.You put rivets through the roof, right?

Do you notice that the inside of your Jeep is a bit cooler since the solar panels are blocking the direct sunlight from heating up the hard top? Or no difference because the sun from the windshield is going to heat up the inside anyway?They're both 100w panels, and I see about 140w during the day. They aren't at the ideal angle, but with the way the Jeep roof is grooved the install is super easy and allows for cooling.
That keeps my two batteries (Genesis system) topped off at all times. That's a good thing as my work commute is maybe 5miles.
The best part though?... I can still use the Bestop Sunrider without any issues to the Panels!
I've the Fumoto F106 valve in my parts box, to be installed at the next oil change. I hope I can clock (i.e., properly snug) the valve in the correct orientation, as you've done.

Do those rectangular terminals have enough give in the cabling to snap them into place while still having decent visibility of the underside of the fuse box?...why does Jeep make it so difficult to get to the aux battery? Took nearly 2 hours to replace both batteries…
Dismantling the power distribution center (PDC) is not the recommended way to get to the Aux battery. Dealer Techs are told to do a fender liner peel (remove a few plastic rivets) to access the Aux battery.Replaced the main and aux batteries after a day of having to jump start the Jeep. At first, I thought it was a fuse that wiggled it’s way out but after reading a few posts and seeing I just hit 40k miles, I knew it was time.
Also, why does Jeep make it so difficult to get to the aux battery? Took nearly 2 hours to replace both batteries…
Yeah I have a CBR600rr, Harley Sportster 883, and 21 Wrangler JLU and my god is it terrible, I just cant stop buying shit for them allI’ve got a JLUR and a Harley. I’m sooo screwed
Luck of the draw. Wife’s was perfect, the one on my gladiator is sideways. Go figure
