Well that's reminded me of something I'd forgotten!
Shouldn't void the warranty with that mod 😁

SIDE STEPS

Time to start work on the side steps. Will try a design using 50x25x3 RHS for the steps and supports and 4mm plate steel for the mounting plates. The weight should be around 12kg per side which is fine. These will be steps and not rock sliders.

I need to make an L plate for the centre support and will then test the step for strength.

BATTERY MONITOR

I have been using a twin voltmeter to keep an eye on the battery voltages but decided to purchase something a little more useful. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1957192...pid=5338980679&customid=&toolid=10001&mkevt=1

Installed one on each battery, charged both batteries to 100% and then compared the vehicle readout to that of the monitor.

As others have found, the vehicle gives a different reading to the monitor.

The vehicle says 82% and the monitor 99%. As a test I will let the battery run down to 50% SOC and then compare the vehicle to monitor readout.

SIDE STEPS

I worked out a design for the side steps using RHS and some rudimentary welding skills - should be around 20kg per side and do the job.

Materials should come in around $300 and a LotsaDollars for my labour (I'm more a woodworker than metal fabricator!)
