LOS ANGELES OFF-ROAD COMMUNITY

Haven't had any work done by them. I grew up in the area and I never heard anything bad about them.

 

Welcome to the LA thread!

Not much of a bass fisherman, mainly trout and on occasion a Sacremento Perch from Crowley . I also frequent the Sierras with both fly and spinning rod set ups. From the shore, in a boat, float tube, streams, creeks, rivers in down to fish it all

 

I know we need the snow/water but damn we already lost 2 months unless you ice fish lol

 

Fishmas is definitely pushed back. I was just in Bishop. Ski lifts in mammoth are easily going to be open past the 4th of July

 

Ill be up there 1st week of Aug. with the fam. I like Mary, George, and Twin but if they're frozen I stick to Crowley, Convict and all the down to intake2. I heard the owens is actually really good in the snow.

Laurel Lakes and Monache is on the short 4x4/fishing list

 

hey guys looking for a good battery replacement to help handle all my accessories?? any suggestions

 

North star. Optima has mixed reviews since moving to mexico

 

northstar is a deep cycle as well i assume. and is it gel like optima ?

 

Yes. And imo beats out optima.

 

yeah but i kinda need it today, my battery is shot from all my accessories and this cold weather, i get super sluggish starts in the morning

 

yeah i see people getting them for like $275 (the nortstar) but i can only find it for $330+ and the optima yellow top is on sale for $203 at pep boys right now

 

Optima is good, but not any better. Life of six to eight years, but charge lasts only a couple days.
Northstar has a guarantee of five years, and usually last 10 to 12. Three to five days of charge, maybe more.
Northstar is same battery as Odyssey, made by some ex-odyssey employees. USA made.

Only downside to Northstar is weight. Typically weigh about 20 to 30% more than an Optima

 

thanks for the info man, but i think ima gamble with the optima due to price and accessibility

 

You'll be pleased. Happy to help if I can.

 

no matter what, its going to be better then the standard battery that came with the truck lol

 

also man im glad to see you got your rig up and running so quick

 

Took a couple days longer than I wanted. Back on the trails just over a week after the event. Thanks, bud.

 

and yet we never been wheeling together

 

Hitting Anza/ Occo tomorrow if you wanna roll. I always thought the SOLA boys had their own thing going. Never see your runs posted.

 

we just got tagged as those guys lol, but actually i cant this weekend, and yeah i need to try and start posting local trips again
