I'd rather have zero neighbors personally
x2. I'm lucky I have pretty decent neighbors. But I'd be much happier if I couldn't see their houses from mine.

I couldn’t wait any longer, no cul-da-sac, but it’s down a dead end road
.I need to acquire one of those large highway signs for my gate, “Do Not Enter”
Someone needs to hit the lotto and get this cult going... I'm tired of having jack ass neighbors I hate. Rather have jackass neighbors I like
I used to run our carpool and office pools, I’d be willing to do that here if we have enough interest, now is not a bad time at all to start.

exactly!

Alright, time to replace some batteries. Doing the rear group 31 first. Going LiFePo.. 100 AH, weighs 23 lbs. Replacing the Noco 4 amp shore charger with a Noco 10 amp that has a setting for Lithium. Now when will this get installed.. not sure. This weekend is booked up. So if it not installed next weekend it will be a while as I go under the knife on the 21st of Sept and will be not doing shit for a month or more.

The one thing I really like about this new 10 amp charger, its about 2/3's the size of the old one that has less than half the output.
Glad someone finally pulled the trigger on a LiFePO battery. I have been debating one but without some sort of testing I have been slow to pull the trigger.

We'll see how it does. Also, hopefully, going to 2 100 watt solar panels with a new larger 20 amp Victron charge controller.
One thing about the charger.. it gets very warm trying to bring this Lipo back up. I mean the Noco charger.. it got very warm. Not alarming warm.. but warmer than I would prefer. The battery feels fine.

I'm doing the rear battery first because I am also planning to replace the rack. Easy to get to the tool box (and battery) with the rack removed. New rack will be taller, same basic light setup but with Rigid lights all around, Vision X amber rock lights for bed lights and a Baja Design "Street light" using some S1's with amber wide area work lens. Going to skip the basket and just have expanded metal on top, above the solar panels. Will have many tie downs so I can strap stuff up there.. like a goat... or a Pelican case.

or a hooker... after thought.

Well this LiFePO was about the cost of a new group 31 AGM. It's a gamble. It was WAY less than the Battle Born 100 AH batteries... albeit probably not as nice. So we will see. I will not put a LiFePo as the starter battery.

I've been running KM2's for 11 years.. its weird to see these on it. But I like them. Makes me want to give the truck some love.
