Northern Virginia Roll Call

I've been 4unning a yellowtop forever and for a while, I ran my fridge 24/7 with just the yellowtop and a solar panel.

 

@EatSleepTacos Randy, don't I owe you $50? *wink, wink, nudge, nudge*

 

Advantages of Bluetop vs. Yellowtop?

 

With research, I have answered my own question. Shocking for TW.

 

Come on Matt, I'm being lazy on TW and productive at work...links or summary you found!?

 

Hahahaha. Comparing the two on Optima's website it seems the only difference is the posts. The Bluetop has both the SAE posts and 5/16 stainless studs. The yellowtop only has 3/8 stainless studs.

 

Leaning this direction, longer J-bolts and a wider tie-down are what you've got holding it down? Also tapping in @EatSleepTacos to ask, do I remember something about your bigger battery tearing some sheet metal somewhere on Betty White?

 

That sheet metal tear is decently common in people who wheel tacos. It's not necessarily battery-related

 

Whew, finally something I won't have to worry about. Was wondering if a battery cage would help but looking at cages, they just j-bolt into the stock location? So what exactly is the advantage of a cage?

 

Happy Monday everyone!

 

Dude. I cringed when I saw this pic. You need a trailer with brakes if you are going to pull that much weight.

 

A you saying that this is a pusher, and not a puller?

 

Pretty much gonna push you wherever it wants to go. Wood is heavy as shit.

 

This was abnormal, and typically I just make an extra trip that afternoon or the next morning...Tree Guy and I talked it over, the client wanted it all gone and no return visits (it was a 2 day job he had to knock out in a day) and yes...I often regret not going with the 6'4"x12 tandem axle, but also don't necessarily want to add an extra state inspection to the list of annual PIA.

 

I will give you yahoos first dibs on this before I put it in the marketplace. I have a Pioneer AVH-4200NEX headunit that I just pulled out of my truck. I will include EVERYTHING needed for a complete installation. This means the Maestro module, the Sirius XM module, wiring harness (already wired up), antenna adapters for OEM usage, replacement inputs for just below the HVAC controls (HDMI/USB replaces 12v and USB/AUX replaces the exact OEM input (or you can just get an adapter for this one and call it a day), video in motion (I recommend NEVER using this. It's super dangerous), and dash kit. I'm even throwing in the MHL plug so that you can mirror your cell phone onto the screen (you just need a short HDMI cable to make it work).

I pulled it from my 3rd gen a week ago after switching out for an Android-based unit. I'm willing to let all the above go for $400. This price is only for my local brethren. I think originally I paid around $800 for everything.

 

Sent PM - Been considering switching my OEM HU out recently.

 

Trade for a guitar?

 

This will be mine one day.

 

Which "this"?

 

The red rolly stool right next to the LFA (my favorite car).
