    I'm bummed too. Was looking forward to it, but I'll be at the next one, whenever that is (work schedule permitting).

    Thanks!

    I was running it on some of the residential roads between my house and the gym (when there was no oncoming traffic certainly), and I am extremely pleased with the results. Brighter than my headlights and Lightforce 170s combined.

    Did some exploring out on FS-62 and got some good views into the Cascades this afternoon. Had a blast!

    Thanks, man! Though I should mention I sold the S/C to my roommate late last year due to some weird A/F and throttle body issues I couldn't diagnose. It was fun while it lasted though...

    Question for the brainiacs on TW: I am researching batteries for a dual battery setup and I need help with some questions. I will be using a Blue Sea ML-ACR as my isolator.

    - Currently, I am running mostly LEDs and a small (400W) power inverter. These will be powered off my house battery. In the future, I might splurge for a fridge (ARB/National Luna, etc.). What would you recommend for AH and reserve capacity on a secondary battery?

    I'm looking at VMaxTanks. They have several small form-factor deep cycle AGM batteries for decent prices:

    http://www.vmaxtanks.com/V35-857-Deep-Cycle-High-performance-AGM-Battery-_p_41.html

    http://www.vmaxtanks.com/MR86-50-Deep-Cycle-High-performance-AGM-Battery_p_83.html

    http://www.vmaxtanks.com/MR96-60-Deep-Cycle-High-performance-AGM-Battery_p_36.html

    The 60 AH (last link above) is about the largest battery I can fit in my engine bay. I'd really like to keep the weight down as both batteries will likely be mounted in the front driver's-side corner of the engine bay.

    Thanks for all the help in advance!!

    An interesting idea. I have only considered 2 identical batteries on a dual batt setup. That makes it a challenge to do in the stock location.

    Maybe its an urban legend that both batts have to be similar in capacity and charging characteristics.

    I was originally locked into that thinking too, but I've run across several forums/postings/pages that counter. For example: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/73294-Batteries-for-Dual-Battery-systems?

    I'm impressed so far! Really like the look of it. Will most likely end up having my front bumper done as well.

    You've got an awesome truck! This is pretty much what I have envisioned for my tacoma but I have a question, I have OME 883 with the nitro charger shocks but the front sags a little (I have a stock front bumper). I have seen a bunch Of people that have "10mm lift enhancers" but I have no idea what those are, where to get them or what they do :confused:. I'm assuming they bring the front end up a little like a spacer but I'm not sure. Can you explain them to me. Thanks

    Thanks, bud! The 10mm lift "enhancers" are just little metal spacers that sit between the coil/shock assembly and the upper coil bucket. Check out Wheeler's Offroad. They carry them.

    I wish I only needed to trim a bit off. Nope, need to go surgical: http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/1st-gen-builds/269822-mrbeggins-04-tacoma-build-5.html#post7366742
