I would see if you can disguise that box now so it looks more factory and less of an aftermarket thing.

That will help foil the crack heads more that would want to use your rig as a mobile meth lab.

its gotta be a fuel pump cuttoff switch. I rigged a cigarett lighter in a customers 4 runner to act as a fuel cutoff switch. He lived in a "ruff" neighborhood and someone had made attempts to steal it twice.

Location: Cincinnati, Ohio - Amelia is the exact place. There is no one else on this site from where I am. Seems like everyone is from Cali or Washington. I guess I need to move.

Yeah, I'm not terribly worried about it. It fooled me, and I don't think there are that many crack heads that would look into the engine bay and say, "Hmm, this mysterious black box is probably the problem." It's parked in the garage when home, and at work we have security and a parking garage. I'm not going to pop my hood and flip the switch every time i go into/out of the grocery store either...

Don't think so... If it were, when I turned the key the starter would still crank the engine, wouldn't it?

We're doing work for Verizon / MediaFLO. Setting things up so you can get TV-like service and other "push" type info (like stock quotes, game scores, etc) on your cellphones. We're staying down near the 71 & Mason-Montgomery Road.

Know any good metal fabricators? I need some stairs, landing and handrail fabbed and hot-dip galvanized at our site, and need them within 2 weeks. Last guy I talked with wanted 7000 + the galvanizing for the stairs.

Nah bud, no one that could do ish like that. Are you here for good, or just temp? I work off fields-ertle which is right off mason montgomery, your not working at 5191 Natorp Blvd by chance are you? If so that is the complex where I am at. There is a big Marriott across the street by Burger King and Wendys.

Reverse is blowing fuse

New member here...I have a 92 4 Run-errrrrr with the 3.0 V6 engine. My Beast recently started to blow the instrumental panel 10 amp fuse. I have narrowed the problem down to what I believe is a relay switch of some sort when the transmission (standard) is placed into reverse. Any thoughts or ideas as to what is causing this and how to fix it?

Start a new thread in the forum. Your post is not related to the topic of this discussion (although the topic has shifted in several directions).
You'll get more interest and replies when you start your own thread.
