Yup, saw that. Those are OE style switches. I was thinking of putting the ARB rocker switch up there though. Worst case scenario, if it doesn't fit, I can just figure out how to re-wire it to an OE style switch.

 

Are they dramatically different in size? I figured they were the same thing.

I'm thinking of something like this instead of a switch pro but TBD, the aux beam/switch pro things reduce a lot of clutter and relays and shenanigans.

Is this an Online-ups or a line-interactive? (we have made a switch to ONLINE-UPS Only! We haven't had any issues other than DOA and the 3 year battery "life") https://www.power-sonic.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Line-Interactive-Vs-Online-UPS.pdf

Pricey, but in my field this is a one site visit savior for uptime and well worth it.

 

I figured they were, but looks like I'm wrong. Rocker switches are pretty big, but shorter in length. Looks like mounting hole size rocker is smaller, so it might indeed fit. I think I'll have to either buy an extra center bit from someone, or print one.

 

It's a Line-Interactive. The prices don't look quite as horrible as I thought. List on what I have out there is $1000. An online version of that unit is $2225. Maybe next time around - I bought all of these in late 2020.

I've also always just blindly bought APC because I figured they're the standard. I have an Eaton 1000 at home that seems quirky compared to the small APC 1000 units we have at work. It runs warm and has a constant faint buzz that the APCs don't.

 

Well the last couple windy storms did a number, going to need a new cover for the travel trailer in the future. I used the patches that came with it but it's torn up and I can see where it's going to happen some more. Lasted 5 years.

 

Anyone have any interest in this? I bought it as a temporary shelter for my ATV and tractor this winter. I should have my shed in another month or so, so I won't end up using it again. It worked great this winter and was a lot better than the tarps I used to cover stuff last year.

I think I paid around $250 for it - I was going to list it at $150 and hope for $100, but if any of you want it I'd take $50 - just come get it. It's in good shape and never had a snow load on it because I have it setup under my canopy.

I'm near North Adams, MA.

 

Good morning everyone

 

Good morning!

 

So damn clean!

 

I like those wheels, especially in the gunmetal color!

 

Me too. Always wanted to put them on my parents 03 sequoia when they had it

 

That's exactly what was on my 05' Sequoia! Loved that SUV until damn engine codes kept popping up.

 

Too funny not to repost.

 

Got a call from my dealer today. Or a guy who works for them. They wanted to know if I was interested in selling my Tacoma back to them. I laughed, but let the kid talk. I asked him what I would drive if I sold my truck. He told me that they'd offer me a price and help me order a new vehicle. Which didn't make a lot of sense to me.

He invited me to come in for an assessment as to what it was worth. I told him that whatever price they gave me the truck was actually worth about $3K more because of all of the parts and accessories that I've added (thanks to TW).

Oh, my interest rate is 1.88%.

I was going to offer to sell my wife's 2007 Highlander, but it's paid for and has under 140K miles on it so it's not going anywhere.

Maybe some people fall for this, but I definitely don't get it.

 

Anybody else driving like a grandma? Truck currently averaging 17.3 mpg

 

If that's your truck with the trailer, it uses gas while it's parked!

 

I always did...even before it became "fashionable".
I'm getting 17.6-17.7 in the Taco.
