    The NOCOs are a bit more but they are incredibly reliable.

    I check mine every spring and fall and they never loose significant charge sitting

    Each start eats 1/4 max. Often a lot less.

    I'm considering getting one of these but I have the bad habit of reading the one star reviews on Amazon. :bananadead:

    Just installed ICON leaf package to my ‘18 Pro because I thought the tail looked to be squatting a bit, especially when loaded with my RTT and other camping/hunting gear. They are designed to be adjustable by adding or subtracting leafs. I chose method one setting that provided about 1.75 in of lift. I like the stance much better, and it rides much smoother and should handle the weight of tents and such much better.

    The stock shocks and leafs are tiny in comparison

    I have, but know I want to get away from the factory leaf pack altogether. Trying to figure out the right AAL to give the height I want in the back (2" over factory) with the weight, while still being able to ditch the 1" block....seems like a crap shoot to get the height, load carrying ability, and ride I want. Most seem quite happy with the Deavers, and the lift vs. weight issue seems pretty predictable, as well as the fact everyone loves the ride and performance of the Deavers.

    Those are the ones I’m looking at. They are more expensive but as (almost) always, you get what you pay for.

    They have always lasted longer for me. To each their own. If you want to keep buying oem batteries that you know are dogshit, and will die in 2 years, that’s your choice. I just don’t see buying something you know is garbage over and over again to be a good investment. May as well try something new in hopes you find one that’s worth it.

    I put alot of thought into the rear leafs on this truck, I have about 500lbs in the bed when fully loaded for camping and also have a trailer I tow every now amd then, the ome leaf pack was perfect I liked them cause they really are customizable to your needs by taking away or adding a leaf with ease, also I am currently swapping them out at this very moment, its a fairly easy job so far

    I love it. Not huge by any means but it does it’s job of blocking the sun. It comes with hardware but it wasn’t compatible with my roof rack so I bought the brackets for it off Amazon.

    Tore apart my previous shelving unit for wood and I’m using it to make a prototype bed shelving Unit. I’m just rough cutting everything right now and fitting it, but when finished with clean wood it will box in my 15 gallon Titan pony tank on one side of the bed, my shovels, jacks, other tools and recovery gear on the other side, and in the middle will be my refrigerator and other gear on a pull out shelf. The tracks for the shelf are supported by the steel angle iron but I put stick on Nylon furniture moving tabs along their length for the shelf to slide on and it now slides really easily. When the refrigerator is not in place I can put a full-size deck on top that’s all removable and can be reconfigured for tall items or short. I’m also going to add a couple more levels of shorter shelves thAt can fit in behind the refrigerator. Right now it’s just a prototype, I’ll post measurements and plans when I get the thing done on a separate forum.F15D19C7-1CDA-4CB3-87A8-75782D403B87.jpg3A71F30C-D2F7-4F57-956C-A69A692A5D6F.jpg

    Installed some Philips Xtreme Vision H11 bulbs. Color is basically the same as the stock H11s but they are supposed to throw further down the road and wider. I'll get a chance tomorrow night to see if that's the case or not.

    Waiting on my DD LED bulbs for the interior and reverse lights to come in.
