I bought my first fridge a couple of years ago, and went with the Indel B 50. I'm completely happy with it, and if I had more space and took longer trips, I'd have a pair of these, with one as a freezer and one as a fridge. Mine is used an lot in the desert summers, and last August/September...

I think they advertise it as being suitable for powering laptops and such, but there is not a lot of amp-hours in those things. On the other hand, they seem to be getting bigger and better. Call Anti-Gravity directly. I think they are in the 310 area code near L.A.

Just a few days ago I picked up a small solar landscape "flood" at Lowe's for $18. Only used it a couple of nights in the yard to test it, but it's pretty decent for only 15 lumens. Self-contained with the solar panel on a gimbal mount above the lamp. Comes on a plastic stake but can be...

Some of you guys are overthinking this. OP only carries a few hundred pounds, only a few days a year. He seems to want some lift just because he wants some lift. He doesn't seem to need more payload or a softer ride or better jumping ability. It may be mostly about looks. His main concern...

He doesn't need stiffer springs.

Epoxy filler is better than polyester, but is much less forgiving regarding temperature and catalyst ratio. Epoxy is also more expensive. Polyester is pretty much idiot proof, so is beginner-friendly. I just repaired a bunch of fiberglass in-ground duck blinds and I used polyester resins and...

Go to the Jamestown Distributors web site and watch their boat building/repair videos. Best solution is probably to mix a thin batch of polyester filler (like Bondo mixed with a little laminating resin and appropriate catalysts) and smooth the area with a plastic spreader. Don't overwork the...

For your stated use, just leave it alone.

A roof rack helps a lot. I have shells on my trucks because I'm always hauling stuff that can grow feet when the truck is parked.

My GMC is a '98 K1500 and I have a pair of Optima Yellow 34/78s in the factory boxes. I think I could probably squeeze in an Odyssey Grp 65 if I tried. My Dodge came with a Grp 65 and I squeezed in a Grp 31 by using a belt sander on one end of the battery case ribs to reduce the length just...

Well, yes and no. Per Optima Tech Support, the Blues with the dark gray case are electrically identical to the Reds. The Blues with the light gray case are electrically identical to the Yellows. The only difference between the Blues and their corresponding Reds and Yellows are that the Blues...

My buddy has a Rubicon Unlimited , and it is spacious by Jeep standards, but you won't be sleeping in it. I have an '05 Power Wagon, Quad Cab/short bed with a cab-high shell and a rack, and it has been a great truck. One of the guys on the PW Forum has a huge camper on his and he takes it all...

Real thick. There are tables to calculate cable gauge based upon length and draw, but amperage goes up for a given load as battery voltage drops. I think my DCPE 270amp alternator called for 1/0 for the relatively short run from the alt to the batt, so I used 3/0 for everything, based on...

Current Price? Seriously? Seems like overkill when you can get a Grp 31 102+/- ah AGM from Northstar for $325. Or Odyssey, or Deka, or Optima, or ... Spend some of the extra money on a high output alternator and keep the battery connected to the charging circuit while winching. If your Jeep...

If you try to drive, we'll tax the street. If you try to walk, we'll tax your feet. With thanks to The Beatles.

I am not an Optima fan-boy, but I have been using Optimas since about 2000. They used to be great batteries, then they turned to crap when production moved to Mexico, and now they are OK again. One of my trucks has Optimas, one has a combo of Odyssey and Optima, one has Northstar, and the...

OP, don't overthink this. Get a pair of 34/78 Optima Yellows or Odyssey 1500s and you are done. Both are deep cycle and both are suitable for starting duty. And you can mix Odyssey and Optima in the same vehicle, even if they are different sizes. My GMC has a pair of Optima Yellows right...

As popular as the big Tundras are, why has no one developed and marketed a dual battery mounting tray? Seems like a no-brainer for someone.

Call TruckFridge. They sent me a new cord last year.

You could buy a lithium-ion jump pack. https://www.amazon.com/Antigravity-Batteries-AG-XP-10-Multi-Function-Starter/dp/B00MQ5Z5F2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1467036068&sr=8-1&keywords=xp-10
