    @Jt_dirt7 your lucky. There's not a great amount of us who have this common problem of being spring flowers. At least these spring flowers aren't blooming idiots!

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

    I may have tweaked a few things...
    I can confirm that, give or take depending on your configuration. Mine is light so I might have gained more. I put 3rd gen TRD OR coilovers and shocks on mine and it only sagged a little in the back with a camper shell and no rear lift. A single leaf AAL in the back was enough to give it rake with the camper on.

    Raley's has a deal on 6-packs of beer: buy three and get the fourth for a penny!

    ...or you can do like me, and get four that are on a 50% off clearance, then have the manager take off one at full price...

    These 24 beers were $21.47 + taxes...

    20190320_165451.jpg 20190320_164832.jpg
    ...if you're going to do the math, don't forget to subtract the $10.99 under misc.

    I have the same kit.

    Could I make my own kit?
    Yes

    Would it be as nice as the Off Grid Engineering and use high quality components?
    Maybe?

    Do I have the time to make my own kit?
    Absolutely not!

    Did I injure myself installing the Off Grid Engineering Kit?
    Nope

    Would I have injured myself doing my own thing?
    100 percent positive!

    I am using FP AGM batteries from Deka and have been happy with their performance.

    Overall, the Off Grid Engineering Kit was perfectly simple in its design and execution. It made installing it a simple task that made my decision that much more a positive one.

    I plan to buy their mount for my accessory battery and the MLACR bracket for the stock battery location. After wiring up my aux panel i would imagine i can get it done. I also have too much time on my hands some weekends so i should be able to figure it out. Just picked up an MLACR and already have the battery. Although i really do like Off Grids set up and kit, its amazing to have it all in one purchase and the guesswork figured out.
