The festival is great! Even non-adventurous family members enjoy it. The competition is fairly easy to follow and quite dramatic, with cars flipping and blowing up and so on. You need to book weeks in advance if you want to camp in the official campsites with the facilities. Hotels become ridiculously expensive.
Stumbled upon this product online: Garmin Powerswitch.
It is a remote switch panel mounted close to your battery and controlled remotely.
The killer feature for me is the fact that it can be controlled on Apple CarPlay / Android Auto - much more elegant than the switch panels from sPOD, Switchpros, Auxbean
Has anyone used it here? Love to know more about practical experiences.
I've found a workaround for petrol station air compressors and the Apex Quick Deflate.
As shown in the pic, the ARB chuck effectively works as an adapter and is compatible with petrol pump push-on inflators.
Yes, this is correct @Frederic and @Emanuel.
I recently installed Apex and didn't foresee this complication. Now, I'm trying different converters and extenders to find a fix. I'm still looking.
So far, it is annoying that i can't use the petrol pump inflators. I have a decent onboard setup, but the petrol pump is still easier.
This one didn't work, FYI.
Hey everyone! 😊
I've been thinking about adding a winch to my Y61 Patrol and wanted to get some insights and advice from the community.
Installation Tips: Any tips or tricks for installing a winch on a Y61 Patrol? How did you do it? Did you mod your bumper/bash plate?
Electrical Power Requirements: I’ve heard that winches can significantly drain the vehicle's electrical system. What should I be aware of regarding power requirements and battery upgrades?
Power-to-weight: Despite its reputation, the stock Y61 is slow! How did your winch installation affect performance?
Usage and Maintenance: How often do you use your winch, and what maintenance routines do you follow to ensure it stays in top condition?
Lessons Learned: For those who have already installed a winch, what are some lessons you learned the hard way that could save the rest of us some headaches?
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences! Thanks in advance for the help!
Cheers!
Hi - there seems to be a USB-C charging battery for the UV-5R. Has anyone been able to find it here in the UAE? Seems like a pretty useful upgrade

Sorry, off-topic, but
Very curious about this 360 camera - my straight reverse camera on the y61 itself is such a pain as there is no obvious center mounting location.
Is it integrated into the pioneer system?
Is it stock?
