Staight up from Down Unda!

Fast shipping all things considered, about 3 weeks to arrive.

 

Awesome, I thought that was the seller. What AGM battery provides the best bang for the buck and also fits in the standard battery tray, and/or which battery tray is best to support this battery setup?

 

I have an X2 Power 27F (NorthStar Rebranded for Batteries Plus Bulbs) NorthStar is the best battery right now period, and buying it in Blue Batteries Plus Bulbs flavor is best price and warranty, 5 years no questions asked full replacement not a prorated.

This battery, the big three(5) upgrade and a new starter about flips my truck over when I turn the key.

 

Second the X2 Power. They offer 10% off I believe from time to time if you keep an eye on the website

 

There is typically a coupon for buy online and pickup in store for a discount.

 

That’s what I’m seeing online with in-store pick up. Thanks!

 

they look bright! link saved, might consider this.

 

They’re great! I have 12 of them under my truck.

 

Got some scrap aluminum and made a mount for the ml-acr. Little cad cam here a dash of tig welding and a few curse words later its done.

Now I just need to wire it all in.

 

The what now?

 

Laser Cannon in the 40w range.....duh! F those road deer!!!

 

Lol it's just a dual battery relay/isolator.

 

Snuck an oil change in between this stupid ass weather.

 

dayum you could eat off that engine bay

 

Replaced the fog lights and turn signals in my ARB bumper with Rigid D-SS Pro in Driving configuration LED pods. Then slapped on some amber covers for driving in snowy conditions.

 

DIY hood struts!

Super happy how they turned out. I initially installed 100 lbs struts but they are way too overkill. I am replacing them with 40 lbs ones right away. Hopefully they are much better.

Here are the parts:

C16-08316 20" 40lb Per Gas Strut Shock Lift Support for RV Door Bed Storage Truck Tonneau Cover Camper Shell Rear Window and Other Heavy Duty Box Lid, Set of 2 Vepagoo

20" struts

$15 10MM Ball Stud Mounting Brackets for Gas Struts Lift Supports Shocks Spring Prop Silver 4PCS, with 16 pcs Screws

10mm ball stud mounting brackets

You could use a little longer strut if you want the hood to open higher. I wasn't interested in this because my ditch lights are close to hitting the windshield with the hood prop rod.
These are installed just like Spiker.












The driver side strut does have minor contact the fuse for my subs but I'm not worried about that.
The strut also slightly touches the brake fluid reservoir when lowering. Also not worried about that.

 

You stole my reply!
