    I asked the WARN tech help and they adamantly stated that I should NOT put an inline fuse in.

    Note that an Optima and a Costco battery are actually the same thing... made by the same factory. Only difference is the price. I haven't got it with me, but there's a review out there that's a real eye-opener. Not sure if it's still true now or not, but the Wal-mart batteries actually had the best performance at one time.

    The toyota batteries aren't bad, and generally better than most OEMs. I have no other input than having heard that as a general consensus.

    You never want to power out the line when you aren't under load - unnecessary use of the motor among other things (I can't remember what those things were, :homer: but there's reasons). The proper thing is to flip the clutch and tug the line by hand.

    I was driving the baby mamas Hyundai Santa Fe :eek:

    Yeah most definitely custom when it comes to the paint job on the rims..

    I'm surprise he didn't have sliders or armor up front.

    the new Warn winches have fuse/temp control built into the winch also so the operator does not burn up the winch or battery i know from past experiences i have burned up the battery cables and melted battery clamps before on hard pulls haven't for a while now.

    That looks a little tight.. not sure what you're running for suspension but I'd probably end up ripping mine out at full flex that tight

    *note leafs look stock... you're probably ok *for now* but I would give it some more slack or re-route it under the other lines myself

    Im stock for now. I used 6.5' of the tubing, and the zipties are all loose so the line can move up and down as it pleases. I think i've left enough room for full droop plus extra.

    Why does everyone like the OME kit so much? Especially over the 5100/Eibach kits? The ULK from Toytec I think is completely different then teh OME kit

    I've got to decide if I want to do the full suspension (lift and UCA's) at once or in parts.


    Yeah, I can do the OME with LR UCA's for almost the same price as the ULK. Which sucks. I like the ability to adjust easily with the ULK. As compared to the OME
