    Ok guys, just cause I'm a nice guy :D here's the thread for anyone on Oahu that want to get a pretty large disco on optima batteries. Below are pictures of what the yellow top that I have now and the blue top I just picked up. My yellow top is a 27F group size and was the largest sixe you can get using the stock battery tray and bracket. My new blue top is a 31M group size and can fit the stock battery space with an added spacer (per @squint0241) with the stock battery bracket. I have an aftermarket bracket from someone on TW but the hooks are too short for my blue top. But the 31M is the group size that the @Pelfreybilt battery cage was made for.

    So, I'll open this open for everyone on Oahu. Please copy and paste the list with your battery desired and quantity. Once I have everyone's orders I'll close the list and get everyone's prices. If you're happy with the prices I'll collect payment, core batteries to turn in and then pick up all the new batteries.

    Let me know if anyone has any questions.

    I don't think I can broadcast the vendor as it's someone who's doing me the favor of giving me wholesale discount without having an account. Basically it's one of the largest local distrubitors. I don't have th exact disco rate and don't know if it will be the same for evey battery. That's why I'll take a list and get the prices.

    I'm in to see the price... I know what I can get mine for and my factory battery is tired... I bought the truck in the end of 2012 and have had it since... I have a single 10" sub and a 1kw amp that I beat the shit out of.... So my stock battery is pretty close to being on borrowed time... Although I water as needed and has never been dead at any time... So if the price is right I got PayPal on lock for when the GB closes... Money is guaranteed... I just want to know what the bulk price is

    Good thing you made this thread. I forgot about your tailgate lock and I'm planning on trading in the truck this weekend.

    Not sure on the deadline. I'll just leave it open for now. Once we get a handful of people then we can close it and get started.

    For those no bulking prices are offered, those are wholesale account prices

    What are the differences between the yellow, blue and red top?
    Gonna make dual battery setup and currently have a yellow optima.
    Wish I pulled the trigger for a red optima at truck fest a few weeks back.
