Texas BS Thread

And I agree with you. Just want him to know not to accept an automatic denial as definite.

 

Its a very good point to make and understand that I didnt comment about .

I was a little sad when I realized I was past my warranty last week. Would have been nice to save the money I spent on a battery and put it towards a better battery setup. Sadly I couldnt wait since I DD my truck and had to be able to reliably get to work. At least its a small upgrade going to a 27f. Just wish I could have gone to a deep cycle instead of the basic one I grabbed at Autozone. It at least has a 5yr pro rated warranty!

 

Deep cycles have worse warranties, if at all. I'm not sure why you would need a deep cycle as your starting battery. Heck, I even opted for an AGM over a deep cycle for my dual battery.

 

agm is just a sealed battery construction type. Deep cycle batteries are often agm.

What’s the purpose of a second battery if you can’t cycle it? Just using it to get double the starting power?

 

No.

I did mis-speak before. I moved the OEM battery to the second battery spot and put an AGM as the starter.

However, that being said, I will likely purchase another AGM that is a normal battery for the aux. batt. The reserve time on the deep cycle and the regular AGM battery was the same at 120 minutes. The 20 amp hour rate is the same at 55. While I didn't necessarily care about the crank amps and cold crank amps, they are also the same at 890 and 775 respectively.

Deep cycle: https://www.samsclub.com/sams/durac...e-sl34magm/prod3590225.ip?xid=plp_product_1_4

Deep cycle has an 18 month warranty vs. the 36 month warranty of the regular battery.

I know that a deep cycle is designed to be more depleted and revived for more cycles. However, my fridge cuts off when the battery drops down to (i think) 10.7 v regardless. Since the reserve time is the same and the warranty is better on the regular battery, the choice was easy. Disclaimer: this is not for my Tacoma, but is for another Toyota.

edit: I also didn't realize some deep cycles were AGM. The only ones in stock when I was looking were not. However, my stance remains.

 

The deep cycle you linked is agm

 

Yes, I know. That was intentional.

I did not know that deep cycles came in AGM before, but I do now.

 

Going to be out at Hidden Falls Sunday morning if anybody would like to join.

 

Hmmm

This still on? Me and the wife want to test out her "new" 04' and been wanting to hit HF for a while.

 

yeah it is. info's in post 1 https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/ttc-☆-official.541185/

 

Yep, be at JJs in Lago Vista 8am. Or meet us out there at the park.

 

No way! We were in the back party room for my aunt's 60th bday.

Shrimp a la Matt's is my go to!

 

Haha yeah I saw that party. I was parked in the grass in the East lot. I usually jump the curb to park if it's busy to leave room for "regular cars" in the parking spots.

The shrimp is solid. Do yourself a favor and get a "Large Smoked Bob" next time as an app. It's not on the menu. You can thank me later.

 

Nice!! My cousin was there in his new TRD Pro Tacoma.

He says he wants rock sliders so I'm going to send him a few links today.

You loving those grabbers? I think I'm going to recommend them to him.

 

Yeah I'm still happy with the grabbers. They're louder than a standard AT tire like the BFGAT2 but it's the price you pay for a mud/hybrid tire.

 

Hell yeah, the sure do look GOOD!

We should have a Southside mini meet sometime this week.

Havnt seen ya in a while dude!

 

I won't have time this week since I'm driving up to Colorado on Wednesday, for a week and a half.

Haven't been able to make it to COTA. I have however been checking out the smaller car meets lately to see what's out there. Just did Cars & Cookies yesterday and the Dripping Springs meet last month.

 

Oh dang, can I got with you to CO!!??

I really enjoy cars and Cookies! Sweet event with very low key good vibes!

Sup with FO meets lately?

 

I'm pumped about CO! I'll be doing more FO meets once the weather cools. Have you checked out the new website?! https://www.faroutdoors.co/

 

WOW! Very cool Matt! I'm going to get one of those hats for sure!
