    I used Serra Toyota. They were pretty slow to ship though. I had ordered back on 8/10/24 and just received it today. Looking at the labels on the box I’m betting they didn’t have it in stock as it appears to have been shipped from another dealership in MO over to Serra Toyota on 8/21/24 then probably headed my way after.

    thanks for sharing pics of the RCI sliders. They are next on my list and after seeing your truck, I may have to get them sooner! Just went through your build thread...Good job! Quite the transformation!!

    I just got to help pull the intake off a jeep with 19k miles replacing a fuel injector. The intake manifold is held together by what looked like wood screws going into ABS plastic. Craziest shit I’ve ever seen on a $50k vehicle.

    Yes, there is a pocket on the other half that fits the bag, jumper cables, charging cord, and 12v adapter. The case also has a handle on it. I think it was $25 on Amazon.

    They quoted him 4-5 weeks down time - so he bought the part, we did it at the Boat House, and then he traded it in for a 1-ton dually.

    Was looking at buying one of those small battery starters. How long does the full charge last? I don't imagine I'd be using it too often so it would likely sit charged most of the time. I like that this one has additional features like flashlight and can run other devices off of it. :thumbsup:

    Installed some sumo springs and new U bolts this evening. I went for the softest ones (blue). I had grown tired of the airlift bags with internal jounce bumpers that really rocked your back on large bumps. With my AAL it barely squats without the bags even hauling my camper, so I opted for these for just a hair more support and stability without sacrificing ride. Initial impressions is the ride is noticeably better over the big bumps. Less jarring, and it just feels really good!

    Changed front diff and transfer case fluids (Amsoil 75W-85 and Ravenol 75W, respectively). Swapped out front diff hex drain and fill plugs for Lexus 14mm socket-driven ones. Took longer than expected, mostly due to having to remove both Valhalla cat plates and waiting for things to stop dripping. I'll finish up with ATF drain/fill tomorrow.

    Supposedly it holds its charge for several months when not being used. I'm sure someone that's owned one for a while can confirm.

    Do you have one? I'm checking out the Amazon reviews, mostly good but a few bad ones. I usually veer mostly toward the positive though.

    Any other recommended brands?

    I use mine to power my heated vest. The power pack that comes with the vest lasts 2 hrs on high. I've gone 10 hrs using my jump pack. It still has 50%.

    I have the NOCO Boost X GBX55 1750A for up to 7.5L engine. I charged it in February and first used it in August. Works great. These go on sale on Amascam often. I think I paid $145-150.
