    I hit a car eating pothole last week on the way home. It was easily 2 ft square and a foot deep. Yesterday it had swallowed most of an orange cone.

    Milage wise I got 80k out of the original one, and 60k on this one, but it's used and was crashed hard before I got it.

    List is 1500$.

    Want to see if we can get a discount on two of them? It's not hard fan work to install them.

    Man that’s not a bad price at all compared to what I was thinking. I wonder if they have two versions though as the LT guys said it was a hefty chunk for the reinforced tundra one.

    Nope, just the one version, that's the heavy duty one. You might also want to do the heim joint tie rod ends that's a couple hundred more.

    And if you have Solo install it that's not cheap either. You have to notch the frame and move the mounting points.

    how would someone move the battery to the bed or the back seat? just get a longer cable, and attach to the stock cable, and run it back? @ilubtimmyhos

    You need some 1/0 wire, I used high flexibility welding wire. 25' is enough to get your battery to the bed.

    You'll also need a way to connect it to the existing harness under the hood. Either a full tie in to the alternator and starter, or just connect the new wires where the current battery is.

    You need to at least provide the poor guy a parts list so he knows what to dump on your lap and say "mark, install this shit, before the rain starts."
