    I bought a yellow for my old runner back in the day that started having issues 3 weeks later. Unfortunately we never swapped batteries to confirm if it was indeed the battery, but the runner would need a jump everytime we parked it. My guess is it might have overloaded the alternator by being a strong battery...or maybe it just took a shit? Either way though, I found it hard to buy another one since.

    Sounds like it's lacking amps. All the voltage will mean nothing without the amps. Costco battery is a good choice btw :thumbsup:

    As long as you are out there, that's all that counts.

    I got LT for more than just being a cool kid at the mall...although just slightly. :cheers:

    Hell yea for being the guy to haul them out. My problem is the puddles are always in choke points where I simply got to deal with it. Anytime it’s dry makes cleaning up soooo much easier. My brakes talk to me still on the daily cause I only half ass sprayed them out instead of removing the whole caliper. This is me after one of my trips a year or so ago. It rained on and off, but we were still flying around.

    The bottom pic is me trying to not get dirty...but said fuck it when I saw a guy go a little slow through a puddle we had to cross.
