    so my stock battery just took a shit.. i've been doing a lot of research on what battery to buy next, i wanted to get a optima yellow top but all ive read and heard is optima "now" is trash and not worth it at all. so i did some more looking and decided on a diehard platinum, went down to sears and the dude told me theyre discontinued...fml. so now my last resort is an odyssey i guess? :notsure:

    if any of you guys are knowledgeable with batteries i would love some input on what to get. what is the most reliable battery at the moment that you guys are using? im also running a warn m8000 with this set up.

    awesome ill check them out! do you recommend having a dual battery set up if im going to be using a winch, or will one be fine for the occasional recovery? thanks for the quick reply!

    Anything with a free replacement warranty. If your stock toyota battery lasted 5 years seems like a pretty good option though don't you think ;)
