    You didn't actually expect it to go off without a hitch, did you?

    Could probably work something out. I just want a high clearance rear, and would prefer another trail gear rear that isn’t coated in line-x as it would be a real B to get it off in order to plate it in.

    I'm also wondering about the reliability, but after sleeping on it I decided "what the hell I have AAA, and a jump pack" I was able to pick the battery I wanted off a pallet full of them. I found one with a manufacturer date of 7/18. Battery System told me I had a 90 warranty from them, so we will see what happens. I'll install it over the weekend as the start battery. Could be amazing- Could have flushed 120 bucks.

    This is my main battery. Good output, but i should get a trickle charger to keep it topped off.

    Dual batts are passé. Quad batteries are the new hotness......

    In all honesty, for probably 95% of all offroad folk (myself included), that tesla would probably suffice. I don't have any intention of ever rock crawling or doing anything that exponentially increases the odds of my vehicle not returning home in good condition.
