Geez, I post one thread. If I had posted several over a few weeks or months, I would understand

Tim my young friend, you just turned 34 a few days ago if I recall. Too many times something on the surface looked great and I rushed off and bought it, only to hear about an option in another set-up that I would have preferred. Age has given me patience as I am approaching 45 in a few weeks.

Plus, I am an engineer and need to evaluate to a certain level before selecting my solution.

You are right on the pedagogical, why do you think I just did an FAQ on OME lifts. I am going to swap out my springs and wanted to educate myself more on the lifts and technical aspects. In doing so, why not type it up and share it.

The truth of the matter is I probably would have just bought the painless set-up yesterday before I posted this. I like the manual capability and being able to run and isolate my back-up battery when I want to run toys. This is of course a slight modification created by Elmarichai.

Edit: I also like Elmarichais setup that I can run all loads off the main, back-up or both. Nothing hardwired to either, this is a configuration setup I like.

I do like the automatic safety features of the others though. Just thought I would throw out the three I considered for comment to get some real experiences besides just whats on the spec sheet.

Hmmm, Power-gate. Have to look into those first.

Thanks Andy, I do perform the mods I ask about and not months later.

Right now on my Plate (expect to complete over the next few weeks):
Get and install a new bumper on my FJ40 from Hawkdriver
Swapout Med OME's for 850J/863 setup
Complete Dual battery set-up

Next up - Debating swapping out my 33's for 35's on my FJ40
