This was Monday morning. We did not get into work on Monday.b 5 hours to get out of the garage!
The worst part for me about all that snow is we have to shovel it like gnomes in a coal mine, all that work and then a week of 2 from now it all melts. When it gets like this leaving it to melt on its own is not an option so shovel we must.
And I'm off to do some more, at least the sun it out and the wind isn't blowing!

This is the box i made up that is hard wired into the LH rear compartment next to the trailer wiring harness , relays to stop the leds flickering from the trailer detection pulsing and resistors for the indicators.
Resistors are glued to the alloy case with thermal glue to help dissipate the heat that they generate.
I put the earths onto a switch so i can turn it on and off depending on what i'm towing.
Had my alternator fail while on top of a mountain. Was running on 7.4 volts at one point! Check out the video to see something strange - at one point there were no interior or exterior lights or gauges at all, only a RED parking brake fault (parking brake worked fine though after replacing alternator) and the only other lights were the hard-wired steering wheel volume and cruise control backlights (I retrofit a 2011 RRS wheel into my 2006 and tapped right into 12v power in center console). Juggled batteries with a friend for a few days to get home. The whole ordeal made an already adventurous trip even more exciting!
