Has anyone been here yet? Are they talking about ATVs when they say 4X4s?

Jericho has been an ATV place for years. The new system is for trucks.

Optima are still all-go online:

OPTIMA: http://www.optimabatteries.com/en-us/find-a-battery/?year=2005&make=Toyota&model=4Runner&engine=V6 4.0L&find_button=Search

AUTOZONE: http://www.autozone.com/autozone/pa...N-jnhtxZacy27?itemIdentifier=605893_140114_0_

It would be weird to see them just stop, I was under the impression they were still big sellers, and they have a TON of brand equity and name recognition. If Exide wants top push Gel, I'd expect them to come out with an "Optima-Gel" line or something similar.

^^^^Do you find that you don't use it that often? Just wheel mostly with the 529's as the only reduction

No I use it often. At f&f I only use it on the more technical stuff were I need the most control. Most times I will only be using 3.1 reduction instead of the full low low. Sometimes I will have it completely disengaged.

I might make it to some trail runs this year. My truck is done and I am driving it. I was plagued by several small issues (intermittent blinkers, fuel smell, alt not charging) but I worked them all out last week and she drives great. I still need to get the timing adjusted. The first mechanic I called in my town no longer has a timing light.

Looks great Alex. To the trails!

When I tried to actually buy an Optima through the Autozone website it popped an alert when I got to the shopping cart that the item was no longer available. 2 other random parts places locally said they cant get them either.
