did the cable itself break? Tough to see in that picture. Could you recrimp the wire into the aluminum end piece? It's basically shifter cable off a bike
I’m partial since I see Kavik and his rig rolling around town all the time, but it really comes down to preference...I like the styling a bit more, it’s a little more boxy. The dissent is modular though, which is really cool
@Kavik makes a SWEET aluminum bumper, take a look at his if you havent.
I think you made a good choice on the batt... apparently Optima has been sold to another company and their QC has gone down the crapper. Those redtops are coasting on their reputation, I wouldn't spend the money for one.
