I have been wanting to do a dual battery set up for a while now. I have a red top from my old ride just sitting in the garage getting old. A few months ago I found a kit that included everything I needed a wire kit, solenoid for isolating the battery's, set of 4ga battery cables, a nice switch panel and some instructions to top it off. ( 12VoltGuy.com ) The thing that sold me on the kit is the fact that everything stays connected to the main or Org. battery and the 2nd batt is charged and only used when needed or when main batt is dead you flip a switch and self jump... I thaught that was pretty kool!! So I orderd it and had him hook it up for me, at the time he didnt offer a panel for the dual batt to replace the ash tray in the 4runner (he does now.... Wierd!) so I talked to him about that and throwing in the ole "ND".... ANYWAY.... he had to make my order so it took a while, but just long enough for my cheap ass to find a battery box, found a guy on Ebay from upstate nice product, nice price and discounted shipping! I decided now that all of my cooling/heating issues were taken care of and the weather wasent too bad it was timne for the install, I didnt take a bunch of pix in middle of the install but here are a few of the aftermath...
