    Awesome I can live with that. I've got a spare set of which at least one is OEM I got off of @5amStevens. So will reboot the OEM for sure as a spare just in case. Thanks for sharing your experience with them. They were awesome to order from :)

    Same one I have in 24F.

    I bought it from Batteries and Bulbs+. If you buy it online and pick up in store I received a 15% discount. Plus the $18 they give you for the core of your old battery. So after tax and core return it was around $275.

    That's where I got mine as well.
    I wasn't in my Toyota so I'll take my core back later this week.

    He said it had a 5 yr warranty but often lasts much longer. He also said these were the same batteries that our city uses in the mass transit busses.

    Edit: Those clamps are sweet. What are they?

    They’re SDHQ battery terminals. So nice for cleaning up the wiring.

    Not on my 98 (build thread). This is my 04 (no build thread).

    Edit: nvm link already posted to the terminals

    Removed front fender flares today. Sadly, a bit of rust popping through under there. Ordered replacements, rather than fight that shit.

    Anyone run 4:88s and 265/75r16?

    next mod is going to be 4:88s but I’m also considering going down a tire size when the time comes as well.

    4.88s would be pretty extensive with only 265s. I'd just go down to 265s before doing gears like that. 4.10s shouldn't be that bad with 265s. In fact should make your speedo near dead accurate.
