This is starting to get expensive. When I attempted to back my T@B into the driveway for the first time, the spare tire hit the ground with a resounding thunk. Today I went into Harbor Freight to pick up a frame mount for the spare tire and a couple of chocks. While there I meandered over to the generators. As I stood the reading Predator reviews on my iphone. the store manager walked up. He told me that just that morning a gent returned a 3500 he had purchased the previous day only to buy the next size larger. In a nutshell, the manager made an offer I couldn't refuse. I am now the proud owner of a 3500 Watt generator and a two year extended warranty. I know it's a bit of overkill, but it is electric start and amazingly quiet.
