Thanks!!

Hi Folks . . . I took a long break from work on the trolley to focus on sorting and moving stuff and life and stuff . . . . . I've been updating the Trolley Blog as work happens for the past couple weeks . . . . .  Here's the latest . . . . . https://trolleytribe.com/category/trolley/ Y'all...

Interesting . . . thank you!  Definitely something to think about . . . . .

Thanks!  I really need to go with AGM to make it as idiot proof as possible . . . I'll take a look at the Trojans . . . . .

Thanks.  Her GVW is 18,000 but her actual weight according to the title is 8200 . . . I probably removed close to a thousand pounds when I took out the lift and seats . . . which I'll put right back in with batteries and water etc. . . . . .

I really appreciate it, Bob!  I won't gush . . . but Dang this site and your videos are a real inspiration!!

Thanks Bob!  I can get FullRiver batteries locally so I'll probably go that route . . . I have great faith in my ability to make fatal battery mistakes!  When you say four batteries should work do you mean four 6v totaling 400 - 500 12v amp hours?  And when you say 500 to 750 watts . . . do you...

Thanks!  I'm working on the design and definitely plan to incorporate one or two somewhere . . . maybe cabinet doors or something . . . it would be great to keep a full bench but it eats up so much room without serving two or three purposes . . . . . Im doing serious meditation on the subject ...

Hi All . . . Demo on the trolley is just about done and Im turning my eye toward building . . . . .  My first questions concern Power Needs and Batteries . . . . . This is my thinking.  Please let me know your thoughts . . . . .  My primary goal is to be able to live off grid as long and...

Hi All! Here are some pictures of the progress so far . . . If you'd like to see more, I'm documenting the entire process on my blog at trolleytribe.com . . . and I posted a tour on YouTube  ~~~>  YouTube Trolley Tour We're just about done with the Demo . . . getting ready for the Build...

I like the way you think!

Thanks Brian!  Sounds like we could start our own parade . . . . .

Thanks!  I'll post some pictures . . . . .
