Not multiple points. You're trying to avoid creating ground loops.

Maybe the NAPA unit if you can wait and find one. But, honestly, the answer seems self evident to "What cheap compressor should I buy to replace the cheap one that lasted me a decade?" Yes, the MV-50 gauge stinks. But in a way you know how it stinks. Plus it'll probably get broken and...

From the description the least problematic is probably a full run back of the same size (4 AWG in your case) to the starting battery negative. Then make sure to have a ground bus bar to the house battery negative for all the loads you hang off it and make sure to isolate any cases that happen...

The battery that the charger is intended to charge. That kind of leads to understanding what you're doing in more detail. Are you charging a stand alone house battery or are you talking about your main starting battery that's serving dual uses? Or trying to charge two batteries? If you're...

Yeah, you know you see those stickers that say "This truck protected by Smith & Wesson" and the meth heads see "It's definitely worth breaking this window."

So are you concerned with theft parked at home, in an RV park sort of place or in the backcountry? Seems to me the risk of someone driving away with it camped on an USFS road is one thing. Maybe a chain through a wheel and around a leaf spring would suffice. At home I'd park it on jack stands...

There's various standards that might apply or not, which you could use for convenience. For your use it makes no difference. I'd suggest being aware that usually white, grey and green have meaning. For example green often represents a conductor that is safety ground, meaning it doesn't...

Do you still get in the darkroom? I do once in a while! It's therapeutic.

Or a song named after it (the film), either. BTW, when you say "remember Kodak" it implies they're no more. There's still Ektachome (E6), a few C41 (Ekar, ColorMax, Gold, Portra, etc), Tri-X, T-Max, and some chemicals and paper. They aren't completely gone. It's like a number of things (tube...

Officially Kodak stopped selling chemicals in 2009 and kept the process secret and protected. Unofficially, well, uh, yeah... https://emulsive.org/articles/darkroom/developing-film/they-took-my-kodachrome-away-so-i-brought-it-back You can process Kodachrome as black-and-white if you're really...

I figured he was thinking of that with the statement "My Jeep will most likely not be driven more than once a week in the future and it's parked out of the sun" maybe? Not to say he couldn't put one outside if he's got the truck inside a garage but if you have an outlet on the wall it's probably...

Isn't Crawl Control an extension of A-TRAC but also takes over your throttle? I've seen A-TRAC work and it's not exactly a substitute for a locker if you know you're going to lift tires but compared to a limited slip it's pretty good (if really noisy). Having a locker in front is actually kind...

It does look like those can be built, so that's my mistake. Must have had what's available in stock showing. Talk about a tailspin, going down in flames!

Since the prevailing opinion is strong about how bad the V6 + auto is it's going to send a few into a hater tailspin when I remind everyone that an SR gets one option - the 2TR 2.7L 4 cylinder + auto.

Yup, indeed, the O.P. isn't going in blind to Tacoma pros and cons.

I think the only real benefit to TRD OR is the locker. But it's not so great that I'd buy a new TRD OR. I only went with mine because I was looking used for a stick shift and it was one of the first decent ones I came across. I've done suspension, put on bumpers, dual batteries. So there's...

Which V6? In general I prefer inline engines, especially off road. I don't think a 'V' config is great for a truck's utility but is nice when you're trying to avoid being a hood ornament for a Mac truck merging on the Interstate. The 3.0L was kind of a turd, the 3.4L pretty well regarded...

APRSdroid can be finicky. I only mention it because there may be other bug fixes or improvements in the current version that might be needed on various Android devices like a head unit. For example, that original forked OSM version I believe is based on a version that won't run on Android 10 I...

FWIW, you don't have to use the old OSM version (which still points to one from 2018) anymore. As of at least v1.6 of APRSdroid that functionality has been brought into the regular releases. If you look under the little eye icon where you select maps there's an option for OpenStreetMap.org...

Gotta be careful with "the feels" when it comes to money. I bet if you put it to numbers the difference of even a Dollar per unit of gas (broadly speaking in hypothetical) the financial break-even point probably only moves in from 15 years to 14 years and 6 months. You'd have to move from...
