Welcome center at 9?

 

What's that lol. I'm going to the ihop at 8 with my friend for breakfast then then tractor supply to find a tow strap.

 

It's near the ihop right before exit 1 on 93 north. Don't take too long at the tractor supply co.

 

Oh ok. And I won't. If they don't have one oh well. I know you guys have some but I need one. I don't want the cheap hf one. The last one I got there was ripped

 

If my GPS takes me up 93 ill meet you there. I'm not sure which way it will take me tho. If assume 93N. And thank god not going to club with GF tonight. I wasn't looking forward to loosing my truck two Saturdays in a row.

 

Lol. And you will be coming up 93

 

Think there will be mud. You guys know how I love it haha.

 

John, the Optima is in and it freed up a LOT of space. It's crazy how much smaller it is vs. the stock battery. Thanks again!

 

I would think the optima battery would be bigger. I guess not.

 

Nope. I knew it was shorter because it required a spacer underneath in order to re-use the stock battery tie down. I didn't expect it to be smaller side to side and front to back though.

 

Oh ok. Well that's good to know. Does it have more amps to power more stuff? You got it to hook up more stuff right? Lights and stuff

 

Same here. It's bigger than any of the stock GM batteries I've had.

 

Yeah. When I go to autozone and saw them, they look huge lol. Weird. I've seen Tacomas with 2 batteries before.

 

I'll bring a few buckets of dirt and water to get your truck dirty if that's what you want...

 

It depends, there is a red, yellow and blue top. The yellow is a deep cycle battery meaning it can take complete discharges and recharges and keep on ticking. Regular batteries do not like those type of swings. The red top is a starting battery. Ideally, the red top better suits my needs but the price was right on the yellow top that John had. I don't have a lot of electrical draw. The HID's in my headlights and fogs actually draw less than the bulbs they replaced and my other lights aren't run full time. Yellow tops would be good for people who camp a lot and power things off the battery or have a winch (or some other high draw accessory or high-powered stereo setup).

 

Sure . Yes please!!!!

 

Booooo lol. I'll just dig up my yard and put dirt on my truck and I'm all set

 

Miguel we just had a ton of rain

 

You will get muddy. If you don't think it's enough at the end, I'll be glad to do a brake stand in front of you
