I can't forget that trip that we met each other in Banff in Canada. That was my best road trip ever. And to think I met you and your family there only after talking on the forum. It was really nice. I can't ever forget that as it has a lot of memories. I have followed a lot of your trips on...

I will deliver, I promise. Since the reason for posting on here is usually to share like others who have some amazing road trip reports on here. I like to update mine daily as it is something I enjoy doing when winding down at the hotel before bedtime. So feel free to stop by any time for...

Great suggestion, but I really liked going on Independence Pass last year and would like to do it again. I have a combined total of 6 days to spend in Moab and Ouray. I think that should be some good time spent there, especially as I have been there every year for the past 4 years. As for...

Just a map of my road trip route.

July 8, Wednesday - Houston to Carlsbad, NM Getting off work at 8pm. Hitting the road at 10pm for a 12 hour drive throughout the night July 9, Thursday - Arrive Carlsbad, NM Visit Carlsbad Caverns. Must be in line by 7am to guarantee getting a ticket to get in because of the limited 575...

Year number 5 of doing a July road trip. I must say it has been a true blessing to be able to have time off work each July for the past years to be able to take this yearly trips that I never knew would be possible. This year even feels like a miracle that I could even have time off from work...

I just googled the name. I will not post the link, but his linkedin profile was first on the results. He has a pretty extensive LinkedIn profile. It says a lot about him. With a resume like that I am sure anybody would trust in him. Too bad to hear he took your money and ran with it. I hope you...

Lol, don't give him false hopes on those prices. He likes his cars fully loaded. So there is no way on this earth that you will find a fully loaded QX with 4x4 that is 2 years old with say around 30,000 miles or up to even 50,000 miles that cost $18,000. Please, if you see one let me know. I...

Well, you have it going well for you then. I am glad this was a dream purchase for you and have it really good driving that car worth over $100,000 with little to no rents to pay. I will not lie, if I was also in your shoes, I would probably be driving the same too for a short while. We have one...

Quick Answer; Both vehicles are very good and reliable, especially if you are buying brand new. You take care of them and they will last you a long time. Many people on the Armada forum show their odometers with well over 300,000 miles and some with over 400,000 miles. The Armada is a great...

I went and bought the Duracell battery this morning. I think it was built on 4/20, as per the stamp on the battery. I replaced my old battery with the new one. The battery tray was really very dirty and my battery looked like it was leaking underneath. Something I could never had known if I had...

I finally found the battery I have decided to buy and install this weekend. Sold at Sam's club. It is a Group 27 and has 840 CCA and made by East Penn. East Penn is said to make very good batteries. So, I am hoping this would be a good battery. I read somewhere that it is a rebranded Deka...

I don't understand exactly what you are saying. I live in Houston. I have about 10 Coscto Wharehouses within an hour driving distance from me. None carries a Group 27 battery. The closest that carries a Group 27 battery is over 200 miles from me. The first Coscto which is 10 minutes from my...

Group 27 is indeed huge. But I discovered group 31 by chance and it is more heavy duty and costs about same, depending on which brand I am interested in. I realized that the cost of the Group 31 I want to buy is even less than a red top or yellow top group 27 that some people buy. So, it is not...

Yes, I do live in Houston. I have a Interstate battery dealer 5 minutes from my job and I also know the one in Conroe. But their prices for the Group 27 is so much higher than Costco. And Costco offers 3 years free replacement based on honor system since they never check if you are telling a lie...

The length is what bothers me if it will fit or not. The other specs you mentioned should hopefully be fine. Look at this picture I just took from the internet. Stock length is 12.06. The Group 31 is 13. My stock tray seems like the 13 might not fit by a tiny bit. But I am eager to find out when...

Great idea. But I plan to go in store and ask them return policy. Particularly if I can return it if when I have already actually installed it but changed ny mind. By then the battery would have visible scratches here and there from trying to make it fit, if it does not fit on its own easily...

Good info. I started this thread mainly because I wanted to experiment with the Group 31 battery. Yeah, I do not like the 1 year warranty. But since I will not be abusing it like those diesel engines abuse it, I think it could last me a while. So, I am probably going to buy the Group 31...
