welp.. Still having issues.... even tho it says i have 12 volts I am going to try to jump it and see what happens.... i suspect the batter really....

 

well it still was not starting right (or at all...) so I roll started it in the drive way and took it to my parts store, removed it in the parking lot and had it tested... it passed but you could just hear it was way slow then it stopped working.... we pulled it out of the machine and the gear was WAY loose then with a good hit it retracted and was tight again...

all I have to say is YAY lifetime warranties

 

Is that a replacement of the stock starter or something different?

 

They are starters rated to 1200 cranking amps. it is basically an HD stock replacement.

 

Much better? in your opinion?

 

I am more trusting of it. and the life time warranty is real nice

 

So I have been messing my camera and mounting and just having fun with it...

so here are the quick edits of the camera shots just to test the mounts.

I took the jeep down/up one of the old mine roads, nothing to extreme but just a nice drive.

The videos themselves are nothing special just wanted to get them off pavement to try the mounts



Front Mount HD (going back down the trail)





Undercarriage Mount HD (going up the trail)





I still have to try a mount that extends out from the vehicle and shoots down the side of the jeep. But there are some problems that I need to sort out with that one first

 

Cool, i like that ^^^ and i love incubus too haha... great thread

 

Yeah Incubus!

Sweet videos though. I wish i had roads like that near me...

**** Maryland....

 

trust me... I know the feeling.... nothing is Close... AT ALL!

 

how did you rig up the camera?

 

Thanks guys.

we have a HUGE trail system within 10 miles max from my door step. the mining road I was on yesterday is 5 miles up university then you pull off and go towards the mountain.

and this is how I mounted it.




it is a:

Thumb Screw>lock nut>flat washer>small o ring>big o ring> fender washer>body panel>fender washer>big o ring>small o ring> camera


the O Rings act as a shock absorber which is why the camera stays pretty solid mounted.

the Lock nut allows me to adjust the height on the whole set up depending on what it is mounted to.

it is pretty ghetto but it works.

I can also flip and rotate video in my editing program so it is not a big deal. I plan to make a sick video after a few wheeling trips of video.

 

i love the camera mount, iv been thinking about doing that. my cameras a little to nice for me to do that to it but walmart has some crapo $25 pocket video cameras iv thought about doing it with :P

 

Yeah that is just a cheap $100 camera that i put a big SD card in. it seems to work pretty well. I have no complaints. 99% of the pictures in this thread are taken off my cell phone anyways. I only use this for video.

btw the bolt is just a 1/4" bolt. nothing fancy.

 

ya looks sick i think im gonna try it sometime soon
