    I have a Matco version of the battery pack that I bought a few months ago. I use that sucker all the time. A few weekends ago I was having major battey issues with the Optima Yellow Top in my crawler and used the jump pack 7 times to jump start my junk before there wasn't enough charge left. These things are a must have while on the trail. Whoever invented these things should get a Nobel Peace Prize! It also has no problem jump starting my massively huge 1170CCA Diehard Platinum Battery in the tacoma.

    Had a blast today out running whoop sections all over town and blasting down the sandy banks of the Tanana river and its sloughs.

    And.... carrier bearing is toast. It's the original bearing (150k hard miles), so it's one of those things I've been waiting to go...

    Replaced the carrier bearing and all three u joints on the rear driveshaft today. Carrier bearing was toast as was one U-joint, the other two U-joints were pretty good figuring 150,000 hard use miles. Also replaced a the transfer case output seal as it had a slow leak.

    Chase, which carrier did you go with? OEM or other?

    A dorman unit off Amazon. Was the only thing I could get within a few days time without paying an arm and a leg for shipping. No one had one local.

    We will see how it lasts. At the first sign of going out I will order an OEM replacement.

    So far so good

    There is very little difference between an OEM version when comparing it to an aftermarket one. I'm about to be on my 3rd one very soon.

    Finally got all the parts in to build my nitrogen tank set up and rebuild my coil overs. Should have time over the holidays to get that done. Really hoping it settles the truck down a bit on the highway.
