    I actually had non Res Donahoe C/O on my truck prior to getting the ICONs that's had 650s on them. The 700s I put on before the ARB. And I really didn't get sag even before the batteries.

    And I wanted 700s just simply for insurance. The ride in the truck did not change IMO.

    He just (as in a few days ago) finished tweaking the OGE Universal Dual Battery Tray! it works awesome for the 3rd gen because the batteries don't need to be staggered like the 2nd gen..

    Just the basics
    Anyone with the passenger side tray have problems with the mount above the wheel well? While I don't have this manufacturers tray the one I had tore off from the cheap welds for the piece that has the three screws.

    Great question! Yes, oil changed since install without issue. The only real issue is if you want to change the headlight bulb without removing the headlight assembly. It's virtually impossible.

    No it's not hard at all once you have done it a few times it's like riding a bike.
    I would suggest using riv nut inserts to hold down the tray though. If you are four wheeling the extra strength may come in handy.

    I know of several people that have used this for several years without issue. And I have had no issue. Wiring diagram comes with it.

    I sent this in and had it prewired to the kit. Reads great and the LEDs are nice and clear day and night.

    I went with eBay voltmeters on momentary push button switches in the console, super clean install and works great for my needs. Here they are mocked up in the console.

    I found one aussie based sore that sells dial voltage monitors that fit in a Toyota switch spot. Trying to find a North American source as I'd rather not pay $65AUD

    Good idea I was looking at those trying to figure out where to mount them. Glove box is clean. Any reason to have them on momentary contacts?

    Only reason I put them on momentary switches was so they wouldn't be on all the time in the console. The display is pretty bright, I know draw is minimal, but I'll play it safe especially since the truck stays parked for long periods of time.
