Next time I have some extra $$ and need batteries I'll probally look at the Sears product. I assume AGM is a sealed battery.... the one I linked to is 850 CCA which is good. Price around $200 is high but that may be the market price for that type of battery.

My dad is coming with me this year. Hope to show him a good time!

Show him how you get s*** canned :)
 
Will do!! I owe you a few beers for the 60 console anyways..
 
... Yellow Tops in particular, are apparently made overseas now, not USA.

If by overseas you mean across the Rio Grande, then you'd be correct. :doh:

I think Sears is offering AGM batteries now...
look at specs on this one...not cheap though.

I'm pretty sure this is the exact battery I replaced my last Yellow Top with. It was the smallest one they had on the shelf and I was planning ahead for a dual battery tray. The YT I had before was the biggest one I could find D31A, 60lbs, 900CCA and 155 Reserve. It lasted about 2 years (just outside the warranty period).

WHOOPS! Yeah, that IS what I meant. I guess when I thought "not in the USA", my brain automatically associated "overseas" with the thought. :whoops::meh:

This is just what I needed

I was actually about to start a thread like this, guess I need to check over here more often.

So my To-Do

-Sort out my dead headlights
-Finish installing my LED Bar
-Install new Alternator
-Install fusible links
-Plugs, wires, rotor & cap
-Change Belts
-Check knuckles & grease as needed
-Paint and install my White Knuckle Sliders when the get here
-Firm up the Battery retainer, it moves too much for me these days
-Order and install a pair of military battery clamps
-EGR removal (this one may have to wait until after)
-Sort out my winch controller
-Change Oil and Filter
-Check Diffs, change as needed
-Have AC serviced (:princess: has made this a priority!)
-Whatever else I find between now and then

Plus getting all the camping stuff out and picking up some recovery gear.

I also have to get my SRC10 Honcho back together and finish my Wraith so that the :princess: and me can do a little scale crawling with Nick and whoever else might happen to have an RC along for the ride.

@%$! my list is way longer than everyone else's, I am going to have to get my @$$ in gear. The sliders are about 3 weeks out, so I am going to try and get alot of the PM stuff knocked out between now and then. How many days do I have again :bang:
