TRD Pro & TX Baja OFFICIAL Thread...

I think it’s been too quiet in this thread so here is my truck 6 years ago. That is all.

 

I put some arp hardware on my battery tie down, resi mounts, and all bolts on the axle holding the brake hardline

 

You influenced me to get that tiedown. Now I just need to get home before my wife so i can use the driveway thanks, should look great in red too

 

What tie down is that?

Looks near identical to the one I bought. I opted to use the wing nuts because I hate putting SAE hardware on vehicles that use metric.

I had to use 1 10" and 1 8" J-Hook with that tie down and the x2 battery

 

Oh gosh, i gotta buy more stuff?!

 

i have that hold down, I used different hardware. and the j hooks are super long if I remember correctly, i ended up using some that i had on prior

 

I bought the one with 10" hooks. Mounted the battery, took some measurements then cut one down to match the other. Put a little clear coat on the cut end to prevent rust and covered it with the little black caps it comes with.

 

What size? 24f or 27f?

 

27F

I opted for the smaller, 24F to try and save a little weight. It was already an upgrade from stock and since I don't have a lot of elec accessories that need to be powered off the battery I figured I'd just keep weight down.

24F and 27F are similar in height though so I imagine the same kit will work for both pretty easily. 24F is 0.18" (4.6mm) shorter than the 27F according to the Batteries+ website.

 

I got a wet cell 24F from Costco for exactly that reason. Lightweight (& cheap with good warranty). They offer a 24F in AGM now too. 45lbs

 

14 months later, still have it

@JuanitoBonito I saw you on the dark side of the internet on the other forum

 

Yes, this is true my friend

 

We need to get a good license plate frame on there

 

Waiting for the slopes to open. Early bird gets the worm!

 

@BVita upgrade to something with a little more… Soul?
