Don't think it's fancy and the payout came not from my insurance but the at fault party. The point of this was to show how Tundras hold their value well. This was part of the reason I bought a Tundra even though it and the Ford are more truck than I really need.and the reason why I went...

I got PAID $2200 to drive a brand new Tundra for 9 months and 13k miles since it got rear ended and totaled, after getting the check from the at fault insurance. (y):)

That's probably the best photo I have that shows the setup with the rack. I think at 200 lbs I'd be a little more worried without support, especially if you keep it on the cap long term. But another 50 lbs distributed on the 3 crossbars isn't really that much.

I have the same truck and same cap so I'll offer my 2 cents. I contemplated pretty hard for adding additional interior supports just like you are. I didn't want to damage the cap I just spent way too much ($2700) on nor be stuck with that damage 2500 miles from home. I had plenty of time...

I don't know what your getting at here. You obviously have your favorite brands and idea of the perfect setup. I went for something that will work for my needs and budget. A simple voltage booster to be able to charge the battery at 14.4 instead of 13.9 while driving is good enough for me. I...

I wouldn't buy the Cabelas marine battery expecting it to be the exact same without doing additional research, but based on the specs and even the appearance of the housing, I'd say there's a really good chance it is. From the pictures, everything about the design of the housing and color is an...

No problem! The X2 label is exclusive to batteries plus. I've compared the dimensions, weight and performance specs to the Northstar AGM line and the numbers are all within a few percent, if not exact. I also found a Cabelas labeled battery that I believe is the same one as above. The Cabelas...

I've done quite a lot of reading on this stuff the last few months so I'm aware that these topics can turn into heated discussions where everyone has their own opinion. That's fine, but I wasn't meaning to have this thread drive towards that. My decision to go with the X2 battery was based on...

I was looking for a dual purpose battery since I'm staying with a single battery setup for now. I did plenty of research before deciding on the Northstar branded AGM. It was about $300 and 5 year warranty. What specific battery do you suggest?

Updated to add the manufacturer's info that's found on the battery label! I just installed my solar charge system in my truck and will be picking up my first AGM battery next week. I've searched quite a bit for proper charge settings specific for this battery, including the Northstar...

Wow, they really installed the ladder brackets like that?

With the setup described in this thread, should the batteries match? I have a brand new Tundra with a group 27F battery. This is my daily driver and sometimes don't drive on the weekend so it can sit ~60 hours, but that is rare. I will be running an Engel 60qt fridge full time (still trying to...

I'm on the east coast and planning my first trip to Utah next year. I have a Tundra with a camper shell that will have a roof rack and internal supports for a RTT. Originally I planned to buy one but I'm not convinced since I likely won't use the tent again for a few years. I am between buying...

I thought about buying a Tacoma a few years ago but went for a Tundra last year. For either truck, I would have considered a clean CPO truck to save money over a new one. But I already kind of new the resale on these so I emailed my local dealer and got an out the door price over 10% below msrp...
