    I need to know what kit it is and where was it purchased. As far as access cabs, I'll need a driver side switch from an access cab and one of the single switches from the kit to see if it's doable.

    Good morning CT!
    Looks like after today the temps are going to drop (10 degrees but I'll take it).

    HAHA but it had such nice wood floors for a bomb shack!

    It does have a propane generator stove and fridge but he's going for solar because there's no way to tie into the grid so all the power would be stored in battery back ups, not to mention winter fill ups are not a possibility due to the drive in. He plans on living in it full time and making it into a sort of homestead, sweet little 42.4 acre place and 40 of it is tax free due to forest management!

    I’m working on a 2013 CT200h, replacing the hybrid battery. I wonder if that switch would work?

    I've only been in CT for a little over a year and I forget exactly when it started to cool down last year. I think it was still warm in mid-September but had cooled by maybe the first or second week of October--is that typical for the area (i.e. cooling down by mid-October)?

    Lots of chatter trying to make it work for the rest of us. If I get a newer bezel it should work for mine. Talking about swapping in an extra passenger switch for ac or reg cab.

    So I know I will need a reciprocating saw to cut out the current lower control arms.

    I have a 18v ryobi reciprocating saw that we got as a gift set when we first moved into this house, but its only got two small batteries to go with it. And its not a set I am looking to grow by investing in new batteries or tools.

    I also have a dewalt 20v max set that has been slowly growing thanks to my father in law gifting us tools and batteries here and there. With the dewalt setup, I have two big batteries (5 ah) and one smaller 2ah battery; we have the brushless leaf blower, hedge trimmers, vacuum, and jigsaw.

    Been debating on using a home depot gift card I have laying around to upgrade my reciprocating saw to a dewalt 20v brushless, if only to take advantage of more and bigger batteries.

    Also been eyeing a cordless impact since seeing how awesome they are at Jared’s and again at Nick’s during my wheel bearing job. But that’s something I can hold off a bit longer.

    I compared the wiring for the power windows between a 2009 and a 2012. They are the same, even the connectors.

    Scratch that, some wires are in different pin in the connector. Nothing a depinning tool won't fix. Going to make a cup of coffee and have a closer look.

    Upon further inspection, the 2nd gen access cab has a different connector than the double cab (they are both called P9). In the 2.5 gen, the connector is the same between both cabs (one is listed as P9 (double cab) and the other is P18 (access cab).
