Does anyone have a 220v garage heater rec?

22x24 ish insulated garage.

This one seems great especially for maintaining a target temp of 50 deg but the reviews about catching on fire are concerning

Stoked about this new milwaukee m12 vacuum to keep in the truck. Will update if it's any good once I use it.

 

Hasn't killed me yet, I'm a little sus though.

Heats my 30x30x12 reasonably well. On sub 30° degree days I use a kerosene wick style heater to help bring it up to temperature. Can easily hit 70° with the combo down to 0°. I don't have finished walls yet

 

That one looks pretty good, thanks.

I have a propane jet heater which works great for bringing things up to temp but would like to add electric for maintenance.

 

ya'll out over-landing tonight?..

 

i have a similar 220v heater and it can keep my 3 car insulated garage at 50* no problem.

 

Here's the one I'm using:

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B003XOZN7A All I can report is that it hasn't caught on fire. The few times I've used it I didn't take any temp readings, etc. I'm using it in a small 3-car uninsulated garage.

 

Right, that’s a similar chart to what I’ve seen. But my main question is, are those pressures with the compressor spinning?

 

Yes. Also if the system is empty you will want to add the correct oil for the compressor.

If after to add some and the compressor dosent start then you need to jump the pressure switch to get it to start then fill to correct amount.

 

I feel like I'm too old for snapchat, yet too young for life alert.

 

Thanks for checking my work @thefatkid. The turd Gen is now locked in the front and ready to snap axles.

 

Thanks. Picked up another can of Freon today and that did the job. Compressor was just cycling too much. When the compressor would kick on the pressure would just drop below the cut off and shut it. She blows arctic air now

 

Somebody needs to create an old Brett/deep Thoughts by Jack Handey mean.

 

@YamaDirtrider sent you a PM. Want to fix up my front suspension.

 

Hey y'all,

I bought my 21 Tacoma OR to get me to trailheads in Colorado. Couple of tire related questions for those of you that hike the 14ers here: is an upgrade to 265/75/16 really worth it over the stock tires? And, if it is, is SL load range fine or do I really need E? I don't do any crazy wheeling. Just want to get to trails and it's also my daily driver. Truck is completely stock now but do have RCI sliders on the way. Thanks for any info!

 

I’ve been out all weekend.

 

Hem-hawing about the 6112. I bought my Tacoma in 2019 with 148k. 2010 dcsb OR 4x4. The original shocks were shot so I had 5100s put on shortly after purchasing. What says everyone on getting some 6112s?

 

Sounds like you'll be just fine with the stock size in SL.

Most of the 14er trailheads don't even need 4WD. Spend your money on fancy shocks to smooth out the washboarded dirt roads instead
