That's an option but consider scale and efficiency. A small pancake compressor of perhaps 1/3 HP is going to draw around 4 amps on 120V (should be about 500 watts), which means roughly 40 amps on 12V before the inverter inefficiency to get 1 CFM at 40 psi. A Viair 275C will do 1 CFM at 40...

The V6 trucks with automatics and 31" tires got 4.88 from the factory. A V6 5 speed truck with 31" tires got 4.56 gears. A 22R-E truck with 225/75R15 (28") tires and 5 speed got 4.10 gears and an automatic 4.30. Far and away the most common gearing is 4.10 and the least common is 4.88. Note...

The Regency HR-2 was made in the early 1970s. https://rigreference.com/rigs/5972-regency-hr-2 http://www.n4mw.com/Regency/hr2.pdf The 94-94, 16-76 and 34-94 I'd at first blush represent the TX-RX frequencies (or perhaps RX-TX) even though there's an RX and TX slot maybe the P.O. just shortened...

Exactly.

About the only real difference between a "proper" transfer switch and a simple DPDT relay is neutral and ground are considered with respect to Article 250. It might be simply showing in the manual how to wire it for safety and compliance or actually contain some sort of ground-neutral bonding...

A transfer switch has nothing to do with the DC side. If you have a DC-to-AC inverter you'd need a transfer switch still. It's to prevent a separately derived system (meaning something other than the main grid) that could be generating power and keeping circuits live when the electrician or...

I figure that's for two reasons. One is so competitors don't easily know their price and, obviously, getting you on the hook is the first step to any sale. And yeah, I'm sure there is some room in their first offer price depending on how much work you appear to be. Asking a lot of questions...

There's other ways to tune than using a crystal-control. Prior to crystals radios used BFOs (beat frequency oscillators) and later higher end radios used VFOs (variable frequency oscillators). Now both have generally been replaced with digital synthesized frequency oscillators. FWIW, the HTX...

Are you really sure you fully understand neutral and ground and the operation of transfer switches? The vehicle chassis is your safety ground in this scenario. Are your outlets plain or GFCI? Does the inverter bond its neutral leg to the enclosure or ground lug? Is the inverter UL-458...

Just will mention that not all recovery points are the same thing. I have an issue with factory and most aftermarket points that don't have a rating or when they do it's not meaningful. Lacking a rating means you have to guess and if I'm spending money there has to be a reason to (1) doubt the...

That makes sense (or cents anyway). I'm guilty of spending a dime to save two nickels, too. The idea to rotate between a set of off highway 15" and mall terrain 17" seems like just such a case. Why take the time to sell the two sets of wheels and get one set of alright all around tires when...

Why not split the difference with 16" then? A 255/85R16 is 33x10 and not a super rare size, although there's more mud terrains than all terrain in the size. You could run 285/75R16, which is a little wider at roughly 33x11 for quite a lot more option, many of which are less aggressive. They...

Yup, that's the Texas Bug Catcher. https://www.mtcradio.com/texas-bugcatcher-hf-mobile-antenna-info/ The middle of the roof to me looks like the Diamond SG7900A. https://www.diamondantenna.net/sg7900a.html

BP51 are expensive but comparable to 2.5" reservoir shocks from any of the big names (King, FOX, Radflo, Icom). For my money I'd go with King or Radflo over OME. I like my FOX but it would be a toss-up with OME. I'd personally avoid Icom since I do not like the digressive tuning. OME looks...

In the Tacoma world what you're doing is called mid travel, consisting of shocks with more travel and upper control arms but the factory geometry is retained. Long travel is wider track, so longer upper and lower arms and wider fenders. The way Toyota builds the front suspension the wheel...

My OME Dakars on a Tacoma do it. My OME pre-Dakars on my old Toyota did it. On my Tacoma when I put in an extra leaf for the weight capacity the lean was better but I still about 1/2" difference side-to-side. Point is it's not unusual to have some lean. Also realize that how you're loaded...

You might be careful advertising what you're doing since the terms of use on the public beta state you must use the terminals in a fixed location, the address you list on your order. It states this in several places. They probably need to know where each is because several parts are not FCC...

Find a tilt table and follow the procedure outlined in SAE J2180 for both. Otherwise the answer can only be an anecdotal "worse." https://www.sae.org/standards/content/j2180_199812/

The premise is ridiculous. Of course an IFS 100 is going to handle better than a solid axle 80. Controlling body roll and camber are the exact point of independent suspension. You don't see live beams on sports cars and what-not. Doesn't mean it's the best suspension for every situation. As...

Everyone starts from zero and learns! The R engines are forgiving and there's a lot of knowledge out there about them, just that it's still a pretty specific niche unlike a small block Chevy or something.
