    TEQ off-road under hood lights installed. Easy and well worth it. Also installed a nice little bus setup.

    My 2017 tundra battery died after 2 years. No mods or extra electrical adds. Didn’t have time to go elsewhere for a battery so dropped it at the dealership. Service guy called and said he could put the same type battery in for $200, or a lifetime warranty one for $250. No pro-rated bs. Pretty obvious which way I went. Of course this was 5 years ago so I have no idea what they would offer today.

    Works great. It has a boost button which starts the 4R right away

    Ceramic coated my new 4Runner for a killer deal (because it’s new and I’m getting 2 cars coated).

    Added some Backwoods Adventure Mods deck panels to the roof rack.
    Lots of mounting options that work with Etrack and Ltrack. Also works as a deck.

    I dont think you have enough panels...

    Looks great. I might take your idea and do the same to mine.

    This video discourage me to buy Noco X series.

    I went through the Amazon reviews about (non X) GB150. And the reviews are concerning.

    I am currently using the wolfbox and it works great. I put the camera just under the rear spoiler and it gives me a great view of the cars behind me. Also works great when pulling a trailer.

    Which model and can you post up the location of the camera and the mirror when the camera is on so it can give me an idea? Thanks!

    I own one and its a pita. If you have a vehicle 100 percent dead or trying to test a starter it will tell you the leads are reversed. Also the voltage display doesnt work anymore.

    Changed the rear differential oil after 25k miles. Used Redline 75W85. The oil dint look too bad.
    Going to do the front at an interval of 50k miles since I hardly use 4wd. It's probably in good condition given how the rear was. Transfer case will do next, sometime next year.

    It was a shit show though. First my torque wrench stopped working. While looking at it, the pump pipe got dislodged from the bottle and oil fell on me. Picking the pipe I banged my head on the spare tire.
    A 20 minute job took an hour and I smell of oil and the plugs are not torqued to spec.but, no leaks so I am not going to bother for next 25k miles.

    Ouch. And the rear diff is the easy one.
    Tips: Drop that spare tire the next time, you’ll have much more room to work under there. And use the squeeze bottles (3.2 Qts) like Valvoline 75W-90. Much easier to squeeze it in and no pump needed. I used to use Amsoil Severe Gear in the squeeze tubes for 3 changes, but each time the drained oil looked really gray and muddy and had lots of metal debris and sludge on the magnetic drain plug. I don’t think it holds up well. I just changed mine and the Valvoline still looked pretty clear and clean after 15K miles.

    I just got lazy dropping the spare. I went with Redline simply because of it having the exact OEM viscosity. Valvoline squeeze bags are of course much simpler to use. Suggest me a 1/2 inch torque wrench?
