Still have to finish adding relays and whatnot - just ran the wiring for the fuse box and lightbar so far. For the breaker, check the link above - it's on amazon. The 4awg wire I just had some scrap laying around that I used.
Just a small update - I did some initial wiring for the lightbar and lights to come. My old 3rd gen wiring was a mess with relays and wires hanging all over the place, but I figured I'd do this one right. Got a Blue Sea Systems 12 circuit fuse block with a 150A circuit breaker. Also found this nice CNC cut bracket from Overland Equipped specifically for 5th gens. Now I just need some more lights!
24 and 25th work for us - we'll have our dog as well. Getting to francis is pretty straight forward and it's on google maps for anyone that isn't sure where it is. We'll be heading in through Cowichan and could meet there to convoy out with whoever else is coming.
Ahhhh that sucks hah - did you ski in to take that picture? I wonder if it might be worth bringing some of those rv dehumidifiers up there to stick in the cab so it doesn't start growing fur once the melt starts.
Has anyone been out Francis way recently? I'm thinking snow might be an issue right now, plus like Jonathan said, the water could be pretty high come spring. Even if it's passable now it might not be then - it all comes down to the weather and snow melt at the time. It's still worth trying I think, just good to have a solid back up plan in place as well. Someone could scout it a week or two before the planned date just to confirm and if it's a no go then we do the backup. For backup spots something on the ocean could be cool - I don't know any specific spots off the top of my head but maybe something on the alberni inlet, or somewhere on nitnat. Anyone know a decent spot in that area?
