    TV upgrade

    Hello everyone. I’m looking to maybe upgrade to 3/4 ton truck. I currently have Sierra 1500. This truck pulls my trailer just fine but I feel it’s going to put a lot of wear and tear on it, and probably won’t get as much out of it later on. So looking for 3/4 either diesel or gas. Haven’t...

    My battery upgrade to BB gamechangers

    Just put in my new batteries. I like all the amphours (270ea x 3 = 810Ah) but not sure about the form factor and a few details such as when they are flat on a surface, it is almost impossible to get to the negative terminal bolts and terminal covers. If I were to do it again, I would mount them...
