| 0:40.0 | Hey everybody, welcome back to the Truck Show podcast. And as you can hear from my voice, I'm probably not in the pod shed this week. No, I'm actually in a hotel room in Moab, Utah. So yeah, I made it out. I made it safely in one piece. And I completed the trip to Moab that I started a year ago. So I'm super excited to be here. I've already seen a ton of wonderful people in town, and it's going to be a great week. So, I've got a lot of stuff going on here. Apologize that this isn't going to be as produced as our normal shows, but I'm going to do my best. A little harder when you have to record without the board as it is. So leading up to this week, it's been insane. I spent the last four days at the end of last week in St. George with Britt at American Adventure Lab, and we were designing and building a new product for the Wrangler. |
| 0:44.3 | And so we teased it online, and the response has been insane. |
| 0:46.9 | So Brits calling it the Power Pack rack, which will most likely use a KC flat battery. |
| 0:53.7 | The one in mine is a concept for now. |
| 0:55.4 | It's 105 amp hours, but it mounts under the shelf and uses otherwise unused space if you |
| 1:01.0 | have a cargo shelf in there. |
| 1:02.6 | And it's awesome. |
| 1:04.4 | The amount of flexibility that you get from this setup is insane. |
| 1:09.0 | So right now, Brits' plan is to make it backwards compatible |
| 1:12.6 | to people have already purchased the AAL cargo shelf for JL, JK, and Bronco. It could easily expand |
| 1:18.5 | to pickups. More to come on that because this is going to be a really cool product for a lot of people |
| 1:24.2 | and just trying to get it going on, |
| 1:27.8 | but unfortunately, I wasn't able to finish wiring it. |
| 1:30.2 | So if we go back to last week after I got home, |
| 1:33.1 | I spent several hours every evening, every night, |
| 1:36.6 | routing wires, hooking up all the red-ar components. |
| 1:40.1 | This is way more complicated because you have to run the wires up to the rack where all the component tree is hidden, and then you have to find where to get the grounds and move. |
| 1:50.0 | It's just, it's a lot more complicated than my old Jeep because in this one we stepped up to the Red Arc Solid State BCDC Alpha 50R, which is awesome because it doesn't need the individual fuses. |
| 2:01.6 | Got the rogue, the red vision, and the red vision screen actually goes inside the tailgate table. |
| 2:07.6 | So when you drop the tailgate table down, you can see the red vision screen. |
| 2:10.6 | And it has an app so you can control all your electronics from your phone. |
| 2:13.6 | It allows for solar charging. |
