What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Just had to replace my battery. I have a 2017 TRD sport.
I went to go home from work and got the death rattle…..so picked up a Duralast Gold 750 battery. Hope its a decent battery. It has a 3 year warranty through autozone, so if it sucks there’s that.
What batteries have you guys switched to after your factory battery died?

 

I was on my 2nd OEM battery in my 2017 TRD OR. Got tired of not knowing it would start on a cold Monday morning so I purchased an Eliminator from Canadian Tire. The truck actually turns over faster and I can have the lights on all afternoon and not worry about it not starting.

 

Can you shoot me the info on that battery? Im reading alot of bum reviews on the one i just bought so i’m already looking for what to replace this one with lol

 

My 2016 died last winter so I got a good five

The OEM battery on my 2016 died last fall, so I got almost 5 years out of it. I picked up whatever they have at Costco (Interstate I think). My dealership was going to charge me $135 for the OEM battery with a 4 year warranty, which really isn't that bad.

 

This battery is taller than the OEM and therefore a bit heavier as well. I discovered a spacer underneath the OEM battery which I had to remove.

I had been looking at this one as well. Will be my third battery.

 

I'm hoping its a good one, but even if it dies in one year or less, warranty will get me a new one so it's all good. I'll post up on here if it dies before it should

 

Thanks brother

 

doooood.....thanks for sharing this trick. I have never seen these nor did i know about em. These look better than anything i've seen out there!

 

Yes, thanks Dave for your help!

 

I’m finally part of the TRD Pro grille club lol. Added 17 inch TRD Pro wheels with Nitto Ridge Grapplers and black emblem overplays. Really does look like a different truck now

 

I thought about that when I did this.

You being a LEO and the license plates on your garage wall, I thought you might enjoy this:

My Forester had to get alignments every 6 months so it was a no brainer

 

Yeah no additional lockers, just gears, install kits and labor. ECGS is about $2k after core refund and then add return shipping. I've already done the ECGS bushing install. So I guess in the end I'd be paying $1k for the labor and local warrantee. I guess teh big thing for me is my truck is only 6 months old and having the peace of mind if anything goes wonky I'm dealing with a local resource.

Definitely gonna be watchin' for your updates!

 

Finally got the rest of the chrome deleted inside the truck with the MESO shift trim and cup surround.

 

Ooh Rah!
I do love me some irony.

 

When you first applied that decal, I initially looked at it and thought does he have paint peeling (small image on a small phone screen). Then I realized it was a decal of the flag raising at Iwo Jima. Very cool in my opinion.

 

Blue Wahoos open Tuesday!

 

Those ridge grapplers are nice. Super quiet on the road too!
