    It's got a cop motor, a 440-cubic-inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas.
    Has anyone swapped one or both battery terminals? My main problem is the negative doesn't have a place to get full contact for my winch. As it is now, it's basically just touching the two lips. Should I just grind those lips down or do local auto stores carry a better option?

    Correct me if I'm wrong but can't you just ground the winch to the frame or somewhere on the frame/body?

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    @SjTacoSharks - This is a military type battery terminal

    I threw a tractor supply terminal on and broke it when i was tightening it so I'm on my second one, they aren't the greatest quality it seems so ill have to try something else
