    I haven't yet. It doesn't get all that bad, and i'll keep it powered off until i figure out a solution.

    It's not that the system won't work, it's that our alternators will not fully charge an AGM battery so you have to periodically top it off, which is a pain in the ass.

    I solved this problem by adding 200w of solar to the roof, and so far it's been working great. Any time my truck is not in the garage the batteries get topped off at 14.4 volts.

    Did the same thing to my 2020 TRD with the exception of the "Alabama" sticker. Since I teach at Troy University I put one of their stickers (mandatory) along with my University of Arkansas sticker on the rear window.

    I drive almost exclusively with the drivers side back seat down. A backpack or bag of Chinese Carry-Out fits securely in the cubby behind the seat and I still have a flat spot for all those Amazon Deliveries :thumbsup:

    Looks great! been wanting to do this for a while. Hows the black version holding up? I heard it's same as the lil more cost of the chrome finish version.

    Took it in to get an oil change...
    An hour and a half later, they couldnt get the filter housing off. Something about pressure... sounds like a bunch of crap.
    I just wanted a quick oil change. Is that too much to ask for??

    You may as well get used to the idea that College football will be cancelled this year.

    What do you mean "there will be a failure?"
    I'm starting to do this reading and i understand i may not get both batteries to 100% due to some "smart logic" on the alternator. But what will inevitably fail?
    Is there an alternative alternator solution?

    It definitely swallowed an elk or two. But I exaggerated a bit. I’m 6,600 lbs empty; 6,800 with 33 gallons and recovery gear, no food, water, or peeps. Handles (cornering, braking, etc) very well though
