Last day for the sale!
I shipped out most outstanding orders about an hour ago, and the leftovers are either getting delivery to SAS or know what’s going on. Still time to get 15% off!

Big week getting settled in post-SAS! I have day job deadlines and one kiddo started school. Today I found some time to work on CTP stuff…
New batch of ABS cargo panels coming in (at least two of you are waiting)
More Fire Extinguisher Brackets (shipping next week @Vasopressor)
Constituent parts for FLRKs on the way
* * * *
The big news I hoped for is kind of a dud: other than the single 62 FLRK prototype that’s been running in a local truck for a couple months, I had the very first one in the raffle at SAS. I had high hopes that I could personally hand it to the raffle winner (or whomever they traded it to if they didn’t have a 62) and make a big deal out of it with photos and such. I have no idea who won it though! I’m trying to track them down this week so I can go over installation with them.
Once the constituent parts arrive next week I’ll start assembling and getting ready for the on-sale.
A couple things to note:
1. While one of the connectors looks like the round 3-terminal 60 Series fusible link connector, the two are NOT the same and there is no way to modify the new production connectors to reliably fit. You will get both sides of the connector, and you’ll have to lop off the existing truck connector and crimp three wires. I wanted this to be 100% plug & play but it’s not going to be sadly.
2. But it’s still mostly plug & play aside from three easy crimps. The pigtail connector I provide will have wires color coded to match the factory harness so there’s no mix ups. There is another connector that is 100% plug & play, and the rest is ring terminals.
3. Some bracket refinements happened and it fits really well. No fasteners are included to hold the bracket in place because you’ll use existing fasteners. Screws are provided to hold the fuse box to the bracket, however, and they are Japanese made, JIS standard, and coated in trivalent white plating.
4. Expect the same quality level with Ancor 6awg cable, some Yazaki wire with some other very nice USA-made, high heat wire, Molex ring terminals, super thick adhesive backed shrink wrap, Flexo chemical resistant anti-abrasion sleeve, and most importantly reliable and accurate Littelfuse brand fuses.
Keep in mind that this 62 FLRK (versus the 60 FLRK) uses an additional 11 feet of 6awg cabling, 15 additional feet of primary wire, the box costs me double, the bracket costs me double, there are more ring terminals, more extra cable seals for the fuse box, and double the connectors, etc. It also takes about twice as long to assemble. Just the way it is.
That being said, retail cost is going to be $355.
I should have a few units ready to go next week.
