    Some flags and center console divider... lots of things on the wanted list.
    Those things work better for you?

    I might be jealous :anonymous:

    Unfortunately if I ever move out of this s/lovely state it’ll have to be somewhere warm year around. My wife lived/comes from northern climates.

    I on the other hand prefer it. Central Sierras seem ok for that climate compromise though.

    Well, it's time for a new starting battery in my truck...
    Considering another AGM to match my house battery (X2Power), but I know the alternator won't fully charge it without modification. Anyone done this? Which method did you use?

    I've had any Oddysey for 18 months without issue. Stock alt. Once a month I plug in a battery tender and all seams just fine.

    Running an optima as well, on an OEM alternator with no problems. Have solar too, so don’t feel bad about not hooking a tender up to it, or unplugging the thing (Renogy told me not to do this but TacomaWorld told me it was fine). Scan gauge shows me at 13.9-14.2 volts while driving which is good enough for me.
    I do plan on getting a nicer, higher amp alternator one day but haven’t seen the need yet.
    Before this, I had a yellow top for 2-3 years before it shit the bed. It was made in Mexico and I’ve heard plenty of people having this problem since Optima moved their to Mexico

    $268 for the X2Power 27f!

    (remove that $18 core charge, subtract the $20 via MIR, and don't pay tax)

    ...certainly better than how much I paid for my first one!

    Weight + size = no thanks.
    Hell, I considered a 24f for this one.

    It's just the starter/aux lights battery, and it'll be totally isolated from the Drifter bits.

    yeah, weight + size sucks. Plus the cracked core support to match.
