What did you buy today

[MudRunnerTD]

I might have bought something labelled RedArc today.... Im Bleeding profusely right now though.

Yeah i think it only matters if the variant didnt come like that. As the GU Ute came as a 2 or 3 seater it probably doesnt matter,

I am looking at a GVM Upgrade and Lift fir the Y62 now and am advised by OnTrack that if i want to fit out the back now and remove the 3rd row seats prior to the lift then the Engineer would be obliged to Engineer it as a 5 Seater moving forward rather than a 7 Seater. If i do this i have to remove the seat belts as well and can not sell it in the future as a 7 Seater. Not sure i care but am chewing over that now.

@mudski do you have the 3rd row in your GU? Did your Engineer comment when you had yours Engineered? I think Matty might have to grab the rear row seats for the GU when we finally get it transferred. Will he need them in for RWC?? Surely Not?

I had to remove the belts when the seats came out for the rear drawers and engineering for the GQ. The removal of the seats gave me more effective room capacity wise. Allows fitment of the cargo barrier as well as you cant have one in a 7 seater i was told. I cant see why the seats cannot be reinstalled down the track, with the seatbelts and it get swapped back to a 7 seater, but its going to be expensive as the whole car needs to be re-done - at least that is what 2 VASS engineers have told me.

Would it be red and have a 3000W written on it?

No.. they are nice though..... Im thinking a cheap ass 3000w Inverter actually as i have read heaps of positive reviews of the cheaper ones. I bought a couple of 100AH Lithiums a couple of weeks ago on special.

Aussie Outback Store have some ridiculous Deals on Redarc at the moment. I was in a Redarc Dealer today and price checked the items and he could not come close, i showed him the offers and they were 20% Cheaper than his Buy Price and he had no margin as a National Chain specialising in Auto Electrical!! He was blown away and told me to jump on it. I still feel raped....

What for?
ie.What do you want to run from it?

Stuff.... LOL.

Nah, after much research and consideration and starting a Build from scratch. Starting from Scratch is the only way this is viable though. replacing batteries as they wear out would be expensive. Buying New changes the rules a little. So i am looking at an Upright Fridge. the 3000W will run an Induction Cooker cause.......Farkit I Can! Might pull a Coffee too. lol

I have just upgraded my 3000w to another 3000w Renogy and the coffee machine likes it better. Was relatively cheap for full sin wave at $480 I thought, could not get my head around the $3300 for the Redarc.

Fair enough - an induction cooker would be nice. Mate has one in his expedition Canter. FWIW he went through several before finding one he liked.All the cheap ones had poor heat control (ie. full on/full off) but he ended up with one as controllable as gas, & which draws less amps on lower settings, but it wasn't cheap. Around $800 IIRC. If you haven't already , you might need to check that the Lithiums you got are able to provide sufficient current. Not all are, with some limited to 50amps continuous.

No I removed the seats and belts for the engineering. It was engineered as a five seater, which in turn gave me an 160kg's on my GVM. I got rid of my 3rd row seats soon after I bought the Patrol.
If I were Matty. I would hide the 3rd rod seat belts. Easy done just tuck the belt behind the pillar cover, its what I did. Go get the roady and not say anything. Chances are they won't say anything. If they do, worry about it then. Getting 3rd row seats will be cheap as they are a hard thing to sell. No one wants them.
