    The stock battery on my 2010 just crapped out when my wife was driving the truck last night *evil laugh*. I'd like to upgrade so what do you guys recommend/use? Is it even worth upgrading or should I just go to Autozone? :notsure:

    I got my last battery at Batteries Plus, I have had great luck with their warranty program.

    If you drive down to the bullfrog marina at lake Powell, they'll sell you an optima for hundreds of dollars.

    I'm still a little bitter. :rofl:

    I've had good luck with Advance Auto. Plus, if you order online, you can almost always find a 20% or 30% coupon. Purchase online for pickup in the store.

    That's exactly how I felt, marginal benefits if any at all for most. The short circuit protection appears to be new which would essentially eliminate the need for fusing, I couldn't find that in the 8100 description.

    I went to autozone. Got an optima redtop. It was swapped under warranty a few years ago but it didn't cost me anything when I had to warranty it

    Just ordered my holiday gift to myself. The correct sway bar bushing size so I can finally finish that job correctly.

    I know... all the cool kids say "rip the facker out!"

    But I like having the sway bar on considering 99.4% of my driving is on road. I'll probably get the quick disconnect end links eventually for when I do hit the trails.

    And honestly I hated the feeling of no sway bar when I was driving around waiting for my end links to come in the mail.
