    Xmas run sounds fun


    As for the battery. I got a 5 year warranty. Hopefully it holds up

    ...too much shit to list.
    Stock core support bends with just a single battery there on simple fire roads. Putting 85 pounds for something that is designed for 40 pounds and actually wheeling it ends up with cracks, bends, and breaks.

    Oh yeah, for sure. For whatever reason I didn't understand what you meant by core support.

    I did beat on it with 1000 miles of rough roads in Baja over Thanksgiving too. Another thing I noticed is that side of the truck's suspension handles differently than the other side. The truck is too light in the front for my coils so that side actually soaks up bumps better than the passenger side.

    This is something I'll have to look into. Thanks for the head's up.

    Is this a common thing for 2nd gens? Is it also common for 1st gens? My truck has endured 2 baja trips and a lot rough roads. The most difficult wheeling I've done is slick rock so not a lot of extreme stuff. But a lot of rough roads.

    On my first gen, my core support was broke in about 12 spots. And that's with the battery relocated to the bed. It's just thin metal and doesn't take well to anything but street driving.

    yeah, it's just sheet metal. That makes sense.

    However, your pic for your link to your build would indicate a bit more than street driving (just giving you a hard time, I totally respect your opinion)

    Not sure what the long-term effect of ignoring the damage is, but I'm well on my way to finding out. Hasn't gotten any worse since I shoved the poly bushings in there.
