I don't spend too much time on this forum but that's my setup (so thanks "gearbox" for the compliment). My goal was MAX Amp hours which is why I went for the PC1700 rather than side by side PC1200's. IMHO since you'll have to fab battery mounts either way and pop for fuses and isolator the...

I have a 95300. Before I installed the PC1700 I used the PC925 for aux power which is NOT the way the 95300 was supposed to be used. Sorry about the confusion on this point. On this page it says "A starting battery rarely accepts more than 60 amps from an alternator"...

I bit my tounge yesterday hoping someone with more experience than I would chime in on this point. Maybe my stab at this will at least draw some attention to your dilemma. Short answer: You have a choice between #2 wire w/ 150A fuse OR #4 wire w/ 100A fuse OR #6 wire w/ 80A fuse. DO NOT...

That is an excellent point. And so we learn. Thanks.

X2 on that. If you run a #2 copper wire to a common ground point, you have the resistence of the wire to worry about. Not an issue for short lenghts but with the 2nd battery in the bed, you are talking about ~.10V drop on a +10ft wire. I'm inclined to think that the frame would offer less...

I did a PC1700 in the stock location on a 06 Tacoma (my understanding is that the 04 4runner and 05+ tacoma are basically the same vehicle). I put a 5/8" peice of aluminum plate under the battery. Mine is a V6 not a V8 though.

Thanks, the credit goes to the guys that wrote up their projects online and Al at Arc Battery in Sausalito who helped me with selecting many of the components. I can’t say I have my own opinions as much as I’ve relied on that of others. The reasons I went with the Hellroaring are the reasons...

Caveat: I would not call myself an expert on dual batteries but I did a lot of reading before doing mine and it has been working fine for the past year. The write ups I did on the ttora web site include alot of links to other projects that may help you in your research (links at bottom). In...

The intake was positioned so it was pretty well protected even with the mudflaps removed. But with the mudflaps removed the back half of the compressor would get dirty. The only reason I never enclosed it is that I planned on replacing the bumper anyway. Now that I've replaced the rear...

As far as compressors are concerned, I know there are cheaper products out there, but I mounted a VIAIR compressor under the driver's side bed cubby. Except that I wish I had a tank, this has worked well.

I used a dell D600 as the base unit for my navigation/entertainment system. I use a port replicator to dock the latop. I use MS Streets and trips as the default map system and switch to National geographics TOPO when I want more detail. MS S&T records where I've been so I don't get lost...
