    Dropped six plugs into their new homes after the original tenants had lived there eight years and 127,500 miles. Gapped to 1.8 mm. The switch was as easy as I hoped. The stiffener had an attachment. Suggestions as to what it is?

    Also installed seat spacers. That, at least, was easy.

    Managed to wedge a big ass group 31 X2Power battery in the taco without extending the battery cables. Took a little creativity but it works! Gotta replace the ground terminal because the stud means I can't close the hood all the way. :bananadead:

    Hey I need a little help with limit strap install. So I went to go finished my install and found I don't have the clearance between my tire and bump stop mounting bracket, at full lock, for the strap to fit. Here is a pic of what I was planning.

    So I would like to know what other people have done.

    Truck starts instantly and with conviction now though.

    You can’t just move that negative cable w/ the wingnut over to the post next to it? I have the northstar 31m and though my positive cable wouldn’t stretch I don’t have an issue closing the hood

    Edit: now that I look closer I see the stud the wingnut is attached to is part of said terminal that needs replacing

    So you can't even use the battery? Is this issue specific to your 31? I haven't heard others complain of this.
