    the piranha kit comes with seemingly small gauge wires which was a concern from the start...this is a cheaper route than a new alternator or battery and i had to tear apart the wiring anyway to move the aux block...

    i doubt i'll have time for a full test for a couple weeks...so won't know for sure for a little bit

    oh fuck that shit! my ratchets were fucked after that job...they didn't like the rain/mud soaking them...at least that's my excuse for buying a new set :D

    hopefully that'll be the last time having to swap out numerous clamshells in the desert

    Mine too. I had been considering getting a new set of tools for the garage and making a full time truck tool box that stays in there so that's what I'm planning after I soak all mine in oil for a few days.

    No more swapping 3rds for me...I'm paying someone to do that if it ever happens again.

    arm, leg along with blood sweat and tears...

    but you can get new ones $4-5k plus install...with the discontinuance, the prices will only go up...at least for a short time...

    Discontinued! ?!? That's awful. I guess I have to bump it up my list before it's too late.

    correct. they will sell out to dealers what they have left. so you'll see them for a short time. service parts should be available for 10 years.

    Make sure you upgrade the ground or negative in automotive terms it's most important. Oh and when you're ready to upgrade check these guys out top quality!

    I used some of these for rings and they are awesome but I believe they have been discontinued? I think I have a some spares laying around I will check if you're interested? They come in 1/0 sizes and make for a reliable EZ connection.

    i have nice ports for the battery side, it's the ring terminals that i didn't pick up originally so being able to find a good ground option with the ring terminals that i had...they were too bulky and offset so i couldn't attach them flat on the engine bay side...that's not a bad setup though...
