What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I parked it here today

And, when I drive it out, it will have a brand new dual battery system, two brand new dual purpose batteries a dual battery amperage monitor in the dash, and a kick ass winch in the front.

Nice!! Post pics when the batteries are mounted. I'm interested in the same setup but haven't been able to find a way to mount both optimas.

Transferred the title in my name and pulled it into the garage awaiting the UPS bringing my new suspension. Good Weekend ahead.

I plan on posting pictures. At the recommendation of the shop owners, I went with a set of Odyssey Extreme deep cycle batteries over the Optimas. The guy is a bit of an electronics geek, and he pointed out several solid reasons to go with this set up that panned out when I did some research. They are custom building the battery tray. There wasn't really a stock option out there. They are installing a Blue Sea charging relay, and a Victron dual battery monitor. For the winch, I chose a Comeup seal gen2 9.5 rs, synthetic rope and remote control. This thing will run even submerged in water. A lot of quality parts, been saving up a long time for this. Can hardly wait to pick,it up!

I just dropped in one of the Odyssey 34R AGM batteries yesterday to replace a dying Costco battery. So far I'm impressed. Cranks over much faster now, and I should not longer need to worry about a dead battery on these below freezing mornings. Now I just need to fab a narrower tire down.

You'll need to upgrade your flasher relay when you do that.

Yesterday, I bought her. FINALLY. 2002 T4R Limited 4wd, cleanest one I've seen, drives like a dream. Tried to drive her from Lancaster, PA home to Chicago, and spent 12 hours stuck on the PA Turnpike.

Today, @ 4:30a, she kicked right into 4wd and drove over the shoulder, up a service road, and 10 mi up the Turnpike in the opposite direction, unplowed, 18" of snow. So much fun. I'm in love.

Now I just have to figure out how to post pictures.

 

[Jason B]

Wow. You shoulda stopped by. I'm 30 min from Lancaster. Got s link to pics you looked at before you bought it?

Oil change, front/rear/transfer case fluids changed. Tomorrow is rotating tires. Fun filled weekend for me.

What 1100 lumen LED reverse lamps(bulbs) did you use?
I'm always looking for an LED reverse light that actually is brighter than the old bulbs. The last time I tried them, they weren't any brighter.

Installed new front turn signal lights, new air hose and clamps, I received my lower ball joints and new front bearings--just waiting for the upper ball joints to come in. About to install the upper bumper cover as well.
