Mornin' Eric

You better get goin' Son, they callin' for rain later!

 

You too John

 

Thanks, I’ll be ok since it’ll be in the garage. It “should” only take a few hours.

 

Take your time and notes, so you can help when I do mine.

 

Good morning, neighbors! Thank you for all of your inputs on my daily drive lift. going to go with slightly bigger tires for now and will get the 5100's/dakar AAL later.

 

Should I go AGM or regular lead-acid

I am running a 10k winch..

 

Did you ever receive your bed extender?

 

Great choice. A lot of people like the 5100's.

 

That's a shame too. I could have saved him $75.00

I don't know squat about batteries but whatever is the best type for my needs/truck is what I would prefer to run, just like oil, tires, filters.

 

from what I’ve read the Tacoma alternator won’t charge an AGM battery fully, if I understand what I’ve read haha. I could be mistaken, won’t be the first, won’t be the last.

 

So curious does anyone in here have a lifted 18 and up? did you have any issues with the TSS?

 

I was going to message you and see what you’re running your fridge off of!

I understand that I would need to jump the alternator or do a solar setup for a AGM battery, I guess it’s more so trying to figure out if I need one or not?

 

I run mine just off the factory battery for now. I think if you need a start battery now, get a start battery. Then you can add a second battery (AGM or lithium even) with a red arc BCDC to maintain them correctly, and put all your accessories on the second. At least that’s what I would/plan on doing. Just one option. I’ve also heard running an AGM with just the factory alternator with no issues. If anything it just won’t last as long. Or if your truck sits throw a battery tender on to top off your AGM.

 

Yeah exactly like that! Canvas is good for the winter. Just gotta worry about condensation. My Colman tent doesn’t withstand wind to well

 

I ran 5100’s for a while down in FL. Didn’t dissapoint. Good road handling but also held up the sugar sand!

 

I'm in Frederick! And welcome dude!

 

Lol wait, you're the guy I keep running into yeah?

 

haha yeah that’s me. I don’t post much just follow along. It must have taken @Russty__ forever to dig up that old post lmao.

 

Thanks! I just have little mods right now. Just ordered a set of RRW RR6 so I see a lift coming in my near future and i live in Pasadena.
