    Anyone else have issues with Firestone Airbags?

    Talk me out of trading my pro4x fronty for a new Armada

    Why would I? The new Armada aka Patrol is a sweet ride with a lot of potential. Do you need a pickup? Or would an SUV suffice?

    I wish I could do smaller batteries like yours. I used an extra Xterra battery I had. I don't run a fridge or anything. Mine is more for security if I get a dead battery out in the bush.
