    Mine was all rusted out when I bought it. Definitely going to put some rust prevention paint stuff on there after cleaning it up a bit but I have an aluminum bumper and badlands winch. Trying to save weight wherever I can

    I already have dual batteries but if I didn't this would be the way I'd go. It'd save me about 60lbs and be much less complicated. I'd still run a fuse block and dedicated wiring for the fridge.

    Did you end up swapping to the Dakota Lithium battery? I'm on the fence between the 27F and a dakota lithium that has more power to avoid a dual battery set up.

    I've been on the fence about buying one of these for about 3-years. I just can't justify the cost but prices seem to be creeping down year by year

    $599 60Ah group 24F battery size equivalent 16lb

    $1189 135Ah group 24F battery size equivalent 27lb
    https://dakotalithium.com/product/d...ar-truck-battery-plus-deep-cycle-performance/

    My current setup is an Interstate 24F AGM in the stock battery location and 2 mini 100Ah (19lb ea) lifepo4 batteries in the bed both equipped with heaters and temp monitoring.
