Tacomas in Minnesota?

awesome, and that drops right in with the stock connecting hardware? can't tell by that pic because I can't remember off the top of my head what it looks like stock, i assume though i wouldn't need anything else? I do have the towing package if that makes a difference for the alternator.

 

Yep. you can get the second gen battery tray if you want (the plastic piece that sits under the battery) or you can just plop it down on the one that’s there and let it overhang it an inch or two.

I typically connect mine to a battery charger every month or two to make sure its fully topped off but it’s definitely not a requirement. You’ll get a bit more life out of it supposedly. I usually just do it when I know its going to be sitting for a week or more.

 

i do have a battery tender, i think they work with AGM batteries too.

 

Yep that’ll work fine.

Lithium is really the only one you’ve gotta be careful with the charger for

 

awesome, I am gonna go this route, thanks to you and anyone else who gave me advise.

 

That reminds me I still need to get around to replacing mine one of these days.

 

yeah you should do that

 

Their 20% code works in the cart if you are looking to get one now/soon: CDP13175 - expires on 2/28 according to their main page. I've been wanting to pull the trigger on that battery for a while. I'm on my 3rd factory one.

 

New from Brainerd.

 

I’m a big fan of the north star batteries too. Been running one on the taco for 3yrs.

 

I can’t wait for it to start snowing.

 

welcome to TW

 

The snow storm that wasn’t.

so disappointing

 

does yours look like this?

 

apologies that all we could send you from the southwest was some dry slot air

 

Scoff.

 

how the heck is it warmer in Duluth today than it is here in Omaha
and over the next couple of days its supposed to be -8 here but +4 way up north??
even Des Moines is supposed to be -12 on Monday
temps are in F
and without wind

 

It’s a balmy 9F with a nice cool 24mph breeze in St Paul. I thought my face was going to fall off during my morning run and I had a balaclava on.

 

So thanks to you guys convincing me not to spend a crap ton on a dual battery system, ordered that x2 premium AGM battery.... aaaaaand... a tuffstuff ranger roof top tent will be nice to have for my moab trip in april.

 

are there any quality dash cams that are wireless yet in the market?
i was looking at a local install car audio place recently but they wanna rip my interior apart to install
