G'day mate, we had a litle VSR (Voltage Sensitive Relay) when we got the car but around 7yrs ago we swapped it out for a BlueSeas ML-ACR at the same time when we installed the 390XP alternator and 8274. Seems overkill but we liked the 500A continuous rating (2500A peak) so it suits and works really well with both the big alternator and the power-hungry winch. There's a few ways you can hook up the ML-ACR, depending on your needs, it has in-cab SPDT / 3-way switch, an automatic operation mode (which we use), and a manual lock-out switch on the relay itself for positive isolation. We have the fridge and oven running off the aux battery.
Get on to Youtube or the FB Travel Buddy recipes group, there's so much content it's not funny (especially on FB though we're no longer on FB so can't screenshot or link), our favourite atm is the mini-potato bake, goes something like this:
• 1.25kg/ 2.5lb potatoes (any, other than waxy potatoes)
• 2/3 cup (160 ml) milk
• 3/4 cup (185 ml) thickened cream (heavy cream)
• 1/3 cup mayonnaise , preferably whole egg (or 1/4 cup cream)
• 1 1/2 tsp fresh thyme leaves , plus more for garnish (or 1 tsp dried)
• 2 large garlic cloves , minced
• 3/4 tsp salt
• Black pepper
• 2 cups (200g) shredded cheese , for mixing (Note 3)
• 1 cup (100g) shredded mozzarella cheese (or sub with another cheese, Note 3)

Chuck everything except cheese in the tray (link below for tray), cover with foil, cook on 180º for about an hour, sprinkle cheese, cook for another 15 to 20mins at 200ºC, remove and rest for 5mins, then enjoy! Depending on the type of pototoes and how they're cut, times might vary, or you can pre-cook before leaving home to cut down the first hour of cooking. Qty's are for the larger 78mm tray, go about half for the smaller tray. We've done roasts and lasagne's, meatloaf and stew's, once you get used to the cooking times it goes perfect every time!

Some Helpful Cooking Tips To Get You Started Of course if you remember or if you have the time it is always good to pre-heat the oven so pop it on for a half hour before placing food in. However most of us are not that organised and the following hints for a cold oven […]

It's from an Australian Company called EmuWing. I did the LHS about 3 months ago and absolutely love it! Now to get around to fitting the other one
Not sure about the other brands but with the EmuWing you can choose either glass or aluminium, we went with the aluminium being that it's cheaper and more robust. Shop - Emuwing - Vehicle Access Solutions

Yep, this kit from EmuWing late last year was AUD$1680 delivered (we're about 2500mi from the vendor) so I imagine with shipment to US you'd still be under AUD$2K. We did notice that the customer service is pretty $h!t though, they never returned a single email or phone call prior to us buying it. The kit is good quality but the instructions, like their customer service, are also $h!t.
It's an L92 stroker, ex-2009 Sierra Denali, we put that in there circa 2013 with the 6L80 and never looked back!
The EmuWing kit is actually very good imo and I imagine if you got a few people together you'd do quite well in a group buy via LCL-sea-freight, especially with the purchasing power of your USD vs AUD at the moment.
Might be!
Got some new reading material! Paid more than I wanted, in the end it’ll be worth it!
eBay purchase?
Oh without a doubt but $$$$$

Replaced 6 original Toyota/Denso coil packs and 2 no-name coil packs with Denso 673-1303 coil packs.
The 2 no-name packs both had multiple splits down the length of the coil.

Stedi makes some really great stuff. The fit and function of their lights and switches are excellent.

How tall is that garage door?
Its at my brothers shop. I'd have to say its either 8' or 9'. I can go in with all the stuff on top with AHC in neutral and running normal tire pressure.
