You don't want an upper console, they are too much money and are really more of a decoration than anything else.

The switch activates the fuel transfer system that pumps fuel from the sub into the main.

Nice rig Dan. Looks like we had the same idea for the Co2. Passenger side, used the 3rd row mountig bracket holes to mount a bracket for my Co2. Can reach all 4 tires from there.

See the post on LOL.

Nice rig dan. If I ever get mine here I will have an idea of what to add to it. Did you miss anything or are you planning further upgrades?

Were Those pics taken this week?

Cbizkit - thanks for taking this week.

Looks great. Figures you'd have a darn TRD boost guage I am a bit concerned though - that engine bay looks rather dirty compared to the way I figured you kept it clean enough to eat off of - maybe it's clean enough for B to eat off of and just not you

FWIW, that latch would get you a ticket in my town for obscuring the plate. <- this I know from personal experience.

Looks great.

Pimp - go back to sleep ROTW - Rig Of The Week - see the stickies.

Junk - When I saw it at Moab before wheeling, you could have eaten off it. He must be buzy since he got back.

It is difficult to photograph without removing the grille but it is used on vehicles with dual A/C and a cool box and it mounts to existing points on the condensor and center lock brace. I have it set up to come on manually with a switch on the instrument panel. That way I can bring it on line when ever I want. I like to be able to run it when the vehicle is being worked hard on low-speed trails.

Does VX stand for "Vehicularly Xcitable"?

I stumbled onto this thing several years ago in my first issue microfiche. After that issue the reference was deleted. It also appears in my JDM fiche. Basicly it is a moulded plastic sleeve that occupies the space inside the LH quarter above the wheelhouse. The tool kit slides nicely inside it although I think it may not have been intended for that use.
