    Dual Battery Vs. Portable Battery

    Mine stays up there 100% of the time, requires no setup/tear down, and keeps solar going into the battery all day long, even while I run into 7-11 or the grocery store. Only gripe I have is I have to hop up on my sliders once a month or so, and make sure it's clean

    Dual Battery Vs. Portable Battery

    I would have no problem strapping the renogy solar suitcase to my roof rack (I have a Prinsu, might feel more comfortable with a basket rack) so long as it was secure and nothing on top of it. It IS glass after all. But I'd only do that if I were really short on space. Otherwise I keep it...

    Dual Battery Vs. Portable Battery

    It didn't take as long as it looks, but you're welcome. I aim to educate before someone just goes out and spends too much on something they'll regret. Exactly what I do, I use the best I could find for a good price, the Antigravity XP-10 I only have one battery, but I upgraded from stock to a...

    Dual Battery Vs. Portable Battery

    If only there was a short, easy, concise answer to give. You mention a LOT of items you want powered, which complicates any answer even further. Let's start with the dual battery. The upside of a dual battery system are two fold, one of which is also a downside... The biggest upside is that a...

    04 with compressor or electric motor sound at start

    Blend doors motor. Had mine replaced recently, it's a PITA trying to align the doors with the motor apparatus when trying to fit it back in. I didn't have the dealer do it, afraid of what they'd charge for this and went to SD truck shop instead.

    Pelfreybilt Winch Bumper woes...

    So the first Pelfreybilt bumper for the 4th Gen 4Runners was built on Brian's 4Runner (from Goose Gear), an 03-05 model. The second one was made for the Total Chaos 4Runner, an 06-09, and THIS is where Tyler discovered the slight difference between the 03-05's 06-09's. Tyler chose to do exactly...

    Factory roof rack experience

    hmm. I had a 130 pound CVT Mt Thielsen RTT mounted to the factory crossbars for several months before getting my Prinsu rack, not a single issue. Also, braking inertia would cause the rack to slide forward, not backward.

    Not sure what recent software changes were made, but I can't click the LIKE on posts anymore. Nothing happens when I click it. Win7 Pro, Chrome browser.

    Bike on roof bad idea for road trip?

    Remove the front tire, and maybe lower the seat, and put it in the back upright. I know some folks that have put those quick release fork holders in the back of their vehicles to hold the bike in transit.

    Nothing constructive to add here, just thought it was funny how both your real names are things you can do on a lake. :laugh:

    Has anyone had problems fully charging an AGM battery?

    Those are very valid reasons to use an AGM battery, but when one battery is $75, and the AGM's are around $275-$375 and up, some might not find the price difference worth it. Many folks that I talk to think they need to upgrade the battery and/or go dual battery for things like winches and air...
