ALWVSN Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 I've been wanting to install mine. I actually bought everything already except the battery. But after seeing Goal Zero or Jackery etc, I may go that route since it's easier and less headache but I've already bought these that I would be willing to sell if you need them. VSR KITDUAL US with SWITCHESFUSE BOX but pls put a photos together if you do your set up. I want to see how people does it on their D2. Thanks Andrew Wood 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALWVSN Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 Are you just adding a second battery for winches or is it a deep cycle battery? Started with mine today but it’ll be in the trunk. Andrew Wood and RobertDingli 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Wood Posted October 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 Facebook is where I can go web wheeling and not brake my Landy. Mr.BlueSky and AdvRovr 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.BlueSky Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 Facebook is where I can go web wheeling and not brake my Landy. Hilarious... but true. I prefer the youtubes.... far away from Robo Zuckerberg's gaze. x2 for posting your build If you still have them up, link your "alternate sources" for reference I'd be interested in exploring these other worlds.

Andrew Wood Posted November 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 All done with the install. Everything working great. RobertDingli 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertDingli Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 Looks good Andrew. I’ve gone a different route and found the most powerful and highest energy battery that I could fit into the standard D2 battery tray. I fitted an Odyssey Group 31 into the tray with only minor mods. Standard tray, clamp and battery cover. I have a DCDC charger with solar input in the back for an auxiliary power supply for the fridge and camping gear. I’m not sure what type of battery I will use there (sealed and deep cycle, obviously). Mr.BlueSky and Andrew Wood 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Wood Posted November 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 I like your setup very much. The odysseys are the best batteries out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.BlueSky Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Looks like there is oodles of clearance for Type 31 in a D2 I literally just got done rebuilding the 110 Battery box. I'd say 5 seconds after the paint was dry I decided I'm starting over. Couldn't keep stomaching the idea of the Type 31 millimeters from touching the passenger seat bottom. (Even with a rubber mat). *gets out cut-off wheel* Andrew Wood 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
