    Based on what he wrote on each, it looks like he didn't use the dual nature of the switch, but wanted one switch for each battery. This provides a lot of flexibility in those rare cases where you need it. You can charge one, two, or both. You can run off one, two, or both. Maybe you're planning to draw a lot from the battery - switch to 2, drain away, start up on 1 and charge both as you drive.

    I didn't think that was weird at all. My boat has the same type of deal.

    Not today, but a few days ago.

    Replaced my radio antenna with a shorty. I am actually super impressed, I have not had a single issue with reception so far!

    Gibson part # is 618805, easy install just basic hand tools. We were even able to get the stock exhaust out without dropping the stock exhaust and keeping it in one piece. What year is your truck?

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    Changed the spark plugs to new Denso Iridium.

    Been trying to figure out this weird rumble at low-ish speeds below 2K rpm. It sounds and feels like you are sitting at a light next to someone with a bass bin in their car. Entire truck feels like its vibrating at low frequency and you can even hear/feel the exhaust change sound. The only thing i've done to the truck is the roof rack and hood struts. Don't think either one is the cause... But on the second thought, I'm driving without the wind deflector on the rack so it may be it... :notsure:

    I call it a 20ft grill, from 20ft away it looks perfect, if you get up on it you can see where the bondo wasn't even and the paint isn't perfect

    Why did you ditch the icons? How do you like the Fox compared to Icon?

    I was a little worried at first, but once I got some weight on there, it seems pretty solid, going to be ordering a second one for the passenger seat.

    Put new plugs in ( thanks to write up here on the forum) also cut my antenna down to a shorty style, still works great.

    Crappy cell pics but put black trd off road decals on the bedsides and used the third one at the top of the windshield. I gotta say... Those trd decals are hard to remove after sitting there for 9 years.. Alot of wiping using generous amounts of goo-off was used xDimage.jpg image.jpg image.jpg
