Got this stuff a few days ago, Crutchfield was having a great sale, paid $800 for all this about $400 off.

Can’t wait to drive around like a kid again! ? ?

I’ll have extra tweeters if anybody wants to snag ‘em.

I gave in. Hood dampers. Got tired of banging my head on the front of the Hood every time I opened it to sniff check the oil ?. Darn truck are too short to use a support rod if you're normal height.

Took 5 minutes to install and yes my truck came with the rubber strips. No more head banging.

A Gooloo jumper that @subquark recommended. On sale a Amazon for $99 and I couldn't believe it came with a charger and hard case that wasn't in the description. Ready for the battery failure defect now :giggle:.

The switches came in for the LightForce panel. These things are high quality and look super clean. I cannot wait to get this installed.
My switch panel looks inadequate in comparison... Just have my ditch lights on there... Better get more lights :p

Awesome. I take mine out about every 6 weeks to charge but it always shows full. I plug it in overnight anyway.

BUT ... from what I understand (which is based on nothing solid), a lithium battery is best stored at 40% so I don't know how that affects the longevity of this style of battery jumper.

I can say that it continues to work well for cranking the old FJ, so it should still be good in any emergency.

That $99 is a good price!

My only gripe is that the booster button is hard for my meat fingers to depress, but I use a key to push it. The cables will get hot if you crank a lot on it (like 10 times in a row!). They won't melt, but they sure warm up.

Here's hoping you never have to use it for yourself and only for others! =)
