Just saw this today - Kingpin | Madman Developments - https://madmandevelopments.com/performance/kingpin/ If it works as advertised could be a nice option of those of us with 1HD-T/FT engines or turbocharged 1HZ/1PZ's.

I have dual batteries as well...have for years with the ability to combine and self-jump. If I'm being completely honest I think they are verging on or likely already are obsolete given the lithium power stations and jumper packs that are basically ubiquitous now. If I was starting my build...

Scepter military fuel cans are about as good as it gets.

I did, no regrets on my end regarding the conversion. Was nice to be able to isolate a battery for loads when camping etc, but less of an advantage these days with all the portable lithium power packs available. I haven't winter driven the truck since but I have driven it in the winter, if that...

As a bit of an update to this thread (was that really 10 years ago...) I did not have very good luck with the 12v Bosch starters. Took two of them dying in relatively short order before I bought a new OEM starter. That starter has been installed for a few years with no issues.

You can get essentially the same exhaust on Alibaba. I have one...some very minor fitment issues but nothing that wasn't easily solved (bending a couple of mounting brackets). Quality exceeded my expectations.

My 1HD-T has one and I live somewhere that gets quite cold (colder than -35C on occasion). I have tested mine and it works, though I did have to replace the o-rings at some point as it was the source of an air leak. As to whether or not it's effective, that's difficult to say. My fuel did gel...

Parts really aren't a big deal in my experience. partsouq.com cruiserteq.com shopraddcruisers.ca

Check the voltage being put out by your alternator at low RPMs. Are any other dash lights coming on?

I'm not a buyer (yet) but if you have install pics or any information on the kit I'm sure myself and others would like to see it.

I still have HID converted 240s on my 80 but am looking to replace in the near future. I love the look but want the instant-on and low amp draw of LEDs.

At first glance that doesn't track. The 100-Series HF2A bolts up and works in 80-series HF2A applications.

https://wink4x4.com/8-speed-conversion/ Seemingly a bolt-in option now available for factory diesel trucks.

Works well. Doesn’t get too warm I don’t think but I’ve ordered some parts to ventilate the enclosure anyway.

Any updated thoughts on the LED Co-Lights now that it's been a few years? Looking to replace my 9" Lightforce 240's and they have come up as a reasonable upgrade.
