TRD/Aluminum Battery Hold Downs

What would it take for you to consider doing another batch of parts?

 

My battery ate the one I bought a couple three years back....I could use another 1st gen hold down.

 

I’m in if you make another run @Coupe

 

Me too

 

me 3, the one i bought is getting eaten slowly

 

Same. Interested.

 

Um? How's that?

 

2Al + 3H₂SO₄ → Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 3H₂

cuz …. science.

 

It's leaking slightly.....

 

Hey @Coupe, how many people would we have to have commit for you to make another run of these for the 1st gen’s?

 

I didn’t know why people loved these so much. Sure the one I bought from Coupe is great, but I figured a similar slightly lower quality example existed from someone else. Nope, can’t find anything adjustable like these specifically for our trucks.

Some new AGMs aren’t exactly square at the top edge of the battery casing. My 99 Tacoma and an 08 Tacoma both have stock battery hold downs, so the battery just slides around. This could potentially cause them to ground out on the positive terminal. I have zip ties holding the batteries from sliding for now.

 

Acid ate through the paint on mine but tie down still complete. Now that I think about it l, I should take it off and paint the bare section.

 

After an hour or so of searching, I've found a potential option for people. I don't blame Coupe for taking a break... temporarily or permanently.

This tie down seems to allow for minor adjustments to accommodate variations in batteries.

 

What flat top battery options exist for our trucks that are good? I’m 4 years in on a battery wouldn’t hurt to replace.
