    Noice, it's worth getting quoted. Dont think it would be worth it though. Problem is I build and sell, at max, 20 of these units a year.. last year I think I only did 12. I know my old boss at the panel shop hated having to build my new bosses orders lol. Biggest PO was 4 at a time, and it's always last minute cause sometimes Bill won't even order components until the customer gives a deposit

    I'll have to make a real and genuine wiring diagram for it then. You'll laugh at the chicken scratch i drew out, I'll take a picture for you when I'm at work tomorrow.

    Yeah that's been a consistent concern since we adopted him lol. He will destroy almost any dog toy, even ones designed for large dogs. He can't have tennis balls because he tore one to shreds and ate it, that time we nearly took him to the vet but he ended up barfing it out. My dude just can't help himself with the oral destruction of toys and wild animals

    You're right the old bodies are the best, no question. And the best front ends/grilles as well. I think a clean R53 could be a permanent fixture in my driveway. R56 JCW are also really tempting. It's funny you mentioned the door sound, I'd have to agree, even on the new one I had, sounded wonderful. Also yeah, people don't realize how spacious they are inside. It's almost like an optical illusion, you just don't expect it.

    Same. Not a fan. Especially for quick things like A/C or music volume. Just gimme knobs. (Its also more dangerous to futz with a screen to adjust things that historically have been so easy you don't even have to look.)

    Weve got several customers that buy panels very similar to yours at only one a month or so. Its no problem to build em one at a time. If you could consider switching to an ABB VFD we'd usually try to have everything on the shelf before you order.

    Interesting, I'll have to do my research and check component data sheets from your preferred vendors, then I'll probably PM you for a quote. I'll save you some legwork since I hate cross referencing for customers that don't end up buying anything lol

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    On today's episode of "I can't use a fucking measuring tape to save my life", none of the intercooler setup fits

    Can't take Dex on our night walks since I'm home alone with Sofia and she's sleeping, so I was in the backyard with him trying to tire him out chasing each other around the yard. Got the bright idea to play a little rough and then tried to pick him...all 70 pounds of him bucked like a horse and his thick ass skull head butted me right in the mouth. Look like I got sucker punched right in the face, fml

    Oooofff. Nothing worse than getting head butted by a larger dog. And they’re always unfazed by the encounter.
