@bamabrock that Sam's battery is fine. @wngrog has run it for a while with no issues
Cool. The specs are hard to compare. I run the 34/78 version of that in my beach heep. I just like buying tires/batteries from there just because there is always one close by when traveling so much.
 
Wish I would have considered this battery over the interstate group 31. Looks like a nice fit for the Slee battery tray....oh well.

It is a monster. I just bought one also off of @ntsaint suggestion. The guy at the batteries plus store asked me "what the hell you putting this in? This is the most bad ass battery we sell." He was sort of shocked when I told him a Land Cruiser until I explained why. BTW they have a 30 buck mail in rebate until the end of Jan on the X2's.

I run a 27F X2 battery as well and absolutely love it. I have a lot of lights, a winch, and 2 amps for my stereo and it's more than enough to power them all and still keep me around 14v while driving. Its starting capability in cold weather is phenomenal.
 
So I discovered a leak somewhere. After tearing apart the A pillar, headliner and sunroof assembly I found dried it all and waited paitently. Rained again today and I found water was coming in between the sunroof cutout in the body and the gasket I'm pretty sure right along the back edge in the middle.

For now I have sealed it with some 3M matte black vinyl along each edge to prevent more rain from coming in. It's easy to apply and removes with no residue. It wasn't ever much moisture, but enough to pool a few drops on the underside of the track at the edge.

Guessing I need a new sunroof gasket???

I replaced mine when I did my doors. No leaks.

I found an easy way (for me a least) to tell that my zerks are facing down!

I remembered I had the GoPro app on my iPad so I set the camera under the truck and connected to the iPad via the WiFi then jumped in and moved the rig exactly where I needed it to be by watching the iPad screen.

Worked great, lol...

That and my new Bones creeper from NT. Man it's sweet!

Nice!!

Don't forget the camera down there... made that mistake, with my protech.... crunch!
 
Oh I remembered it, lol...

But I did get out and look and then back in the rig twice before I had my one Aha genious moment of the year and went and got the camera and iPad.

Stay tuned as once 2018 hits I'll hopefully have another.
 
I flew from San Diego to Detroit to pick up my first 100 series. I mean, who doesn't fly 2/3 of the way across the country in the middle of winter just to road trip their new rig home? Happy to be part of this forum. Thanks all for the wealth of information!
Yep,
I flew one way from Yuma to KC Missouri. Drove it home in 24 hrs straight.

Does trucking a new hundy from Utah count? Nah......I guess not, no bonding.

Welcome to the club, I flew from Columbus Ohio to Topeka Kansas to pick mine up.

I used to do it this way too until the last time I figured out I could hit all zerks regardless of their position. You have to attach the grease gun blindly but it was doable. Just did this Monday when I changed the diff and tcase fluids.
 
You guys rock!

I found mine less than an hour from my house!

Blessed I guess?
Same here! First time ever for me finding one (my 98) that wasn't in another state! About a 15 minute drive, I will never forget those memories though, traveling here and there, making the road trips. Maybe we should start a thread, "I drove-this far-to buy-this! Me and my brother made a 18hr trip to Detroit to buy a 69 Road Runner-440 6 pack-4spd, I drove to Kentucky-alone-to buy a 65 Ford Fairlane! Im sure you guys/gals have some better ones, just a couple that stick out to me, sorry about thread hijack, back to your regularly scheduled programming!!
