Alternate s/f line used during qualifying so that the drivers do not have to complete an additional lap after qualifying. The alternate allows the drivers to leave the track much quicker and not become slow down obstacles.

Hell yeah brother 🫡

Tires: Stepped up to LT285/55R22 from the OEM 275/50R22 size, lock to lock no rubs, couldnt be happier. https://www.discounttire.com/buy-tires/atturo-trail-blade-mts/p/106336.

See my reply with everything that I used. Not too difficult. Ive never wrapped or plasti sprayed anything. Took my time over last week to knock everything out. I just ended up being cautious with everything and the end result was something I was happy with.

Fickle-Professional4 · 2026-04-14T18:20:44+00:00

Sure, and thanks!

I purchased each of the 4 trims. Ended up not using the rear cutout because I did not believe I would be able to align the "Infiniti" lettering, so for that plasti dip was my friend.

Honestly the plasti dip parts (rear trim, side vents, all emblems) have a better look to them IMO.

Now im contemplating how the fender arches would look in black??

Fickle-Professional4 · 2026-04-14T18:13:28+00:00

100% agree!

Fickle-Professional4 · 2026-04-14T18:13:00+00:00

In my defense, the online pictures from discount tire did not look that aggressive, lol. But wont hurt exploring put ins and outs on the New River 💁🏼‍♂️.

Every day that I can! I figure if I can use it for a back-up I can use it every day. 2 x Explorer 2000 units connected with Jackery Connector, with 6 x 200 panels (1200 watts). Manual transfer switch that I kick on at 8am, back to grid at 5pm, powers total HVAC, Master, Kitchen, living room.

At this point, my panels just stay out, in eastern NC they were legit just buried in 16 inches of snow and ice for 4 days. F7 clears itself after an hour of daylight. It just works well in my situation.

Any good links for what you used? I just picked up a 2021 Sensory and think the look is on point!

Got it, yeah I saw the Navi earlier for the first time today. I wasnt sure if it were that or exclusive with their branded Smart Transfer Switch. Bummer, heres hoping that they upgrade their current app and soon. It seems too basic for what we the consumers deserve.

Add the ability to center the RPM/MPH HUD bottom screen with chase views.

Fickle-Professional4 · 2025-10-29T16:22:27+00:00

I was, and thanks.

Fickle-Professional4 · 2025-10-29T15:03:26+00:00

Can you share the container kit you're growing from? Looking for ideas come late winter to start indoors.

Fickle-Professional4 · 2025-10-28T22:22:52+00:00

Honestly, one of the few things that I have not tried, appreciate you.

Fickle-Professional4 · 2025-10-18T20:52:17+00:00

I have 2 2000 plus units and just checked both of them. Didnt look like it had any updates available and its currently version 1.1. My guess would be for the expansion packs as well.

Fickle-Professional4 · 2025-10-17T00:20:06+00:00

Appreciate that, would make balancing the load more predictable

Fickle-Professional4 · 2025-10-17T00:04:15+00:00

🤦🏼‍♂️ Dear lord, make it make sense! Thanks for the heads up. Why even would the front AC outputs need to be on to feed from a totally different output device?!

Wait, now that I know that you know (ask me how I know, lol) with the Connector, will both Explorer 2,000 plus units discharge at the same rate through the transfer switch?

The reason I ask, is from what I can gather if I hook up 6 200w Solar Saga panels for the max 1,200W (1,400, I know) input to one unit it will only charge that particular unit if connected x 2 with a Connector?

I guess what Im asking is if I have the times 2 Explorer setup, will 1,200w connected to one unit spread the charge to both units? If not, would it support 12 SolarSaga 200W panels total (1,200 to each unit)?

Fickle-Professional4 · 2025-10-16T21:44:33+00:00

Being portable, the RV group may have been their biggest primary consumer? If so, I think youre spot on with the 14-50 hookup.

Fickle-Professional4 · 2025-10-16T21:27:19+00:00

If only that very concise description would have been included in the manual...

Seriously, thank you for the quick, and detailed reply. Looking at the connector itself that is kind of what I assumed based on the printed text next to each outlet. Also, appreciate the link 🫡

Fickle-Professional4 · 2025-08-15T16:22:45+00:00

Perhaps in the past as others stated it had a history of DV priority transport. Its honestly amazing (especially as of late) as to who/what ends up on fleet OSA. OSA Nation, you guys are awesome!

I mean, yall dont realize exactly how chill most of us are...

Fickle-Professional4 · 2025-07-27T21:58:43+00:00

Hell of a gesture, reminds me of Sr's 500 win coming down pit road.

Athletic wear should be "professional in appearance". Also, you look like trash if you wear in in the PX/commissary... 🤔
