Yellow tops are a deep cycle battery meaning they can be drained and fully recharged many many time with no performance loss.

Red tops aren't like that. They are considered a starter battery as they get constantly recharged all the time but can flow tons of amps quickly when needed. But they aren't designed to be drain and recharged like yellow tops.

This is why yellow tops make a great second battery as they get isolated from the alternator for periods of time.

The die hards are great too they are basically the same as an Odessey.

 

thanks for your input monte, after research i noticed my brother was wrong about the vibrations on the yellow. i'll see what his discount is for a yellow top, considering i want some lights and ideally a winch one day. i doubt ill go with a die hard, but i might look into them.

 

Cody, if you go with the yellow top, make sure it is the D35 model. That is the one that fits our trucks perfectly. I am vey happy with mine.

Thanks Mike, I still hope I don't have to replace my battery, but at least I won't spend a half a day without my truck tomorrow. It's one thing when you don't drive your truck, but when you can't... it's completely different!

 

i like this but not 300$ like.

I gave my dad a blue top and he wheels his jeep pretty hard (not your average jeep). Hasn't had any problems with it yet. He runs a lot off it and has a small block with winch and bunch of other stuff.... My 2 sense haha
Cents

Have you checked your starter solenoid?

 

Yeah I talked to him and he still has it. Or I'm talking to Tim about designing and building one.

I already have 1" spacers. I think my truck sits perfect right now. I need to find a lifted Tacoma to see where I am on height

 

I really like that bumper as well. I'd go with Tim's over an all pro any day though. Much stronger and well fitted.

 

In the end its gonna be a cost factor. I know what I can get the all pro for. With Tims we will have to design it from the ground up

 

If you talk to cam-shaft on gitout, that guy is sort of a battery wiring genius. he might have some advice for you.

It's a Revenge fab in case you were wondering who the fab shop was.

 

The Die Hard has a higher CCA and larger reserve. It's a better battery. I've had a number of yellow tops and they've all failed early.

 

Lol this guy. Every time I hear someone mention his business I just want to talk shit

Mitch, how cheap of a deal are we talking for that All Pro hybrid? You don't have to list price or answer but if you're not doing any kind of serious off road I think you should be fine. Like Jason mention, I'm sure Tim will make something more beefier than the hybrid but I'm sure you know your budget and will be happy regardless of which bumper you choose.

 

The hardest thing is going to be selling to the the wife. I'm suppose to be "saving" money

 

Ill make yu a good price for a local

 

Hey Joe, did you ever figure out that weird noise on your truck?

 

Understandable.

BOOM! There ya go Tim, are you getting crazy PMs from potential future customers?

Nah, I'm almost tempted to take my drive shaft off to see if I can find anything haywire and then take apart my 3rd member again. It almost sounds like it's something from that area. I know people have mention to check u joints and such but to be honest I'm mechanically retarded and I don't know the the first place to check.

 

And Gordon is off the podium

Well 2 days after owning my '12 Tacoma I get it stuck in mud in Canby. Like a boss

 

Ya I get quite a few Pm's and emails and I'm back to taking orders just haven't really announced it so that things will stay slow haha
