So like the electric vehicles towing a gas-powered generator to have "unlimited" range, I suppose JTs should be doing similar?

My extra battery program:

This should work, no?
I wonder how much that weight will reduce your miles per kWh.

Okay so I cleaned all terminals on the big battery and yes underneath the positive I did find a little corrosion which I cleaned off with wire brush cleaned both sides of IBS . While on the job today could get the bottom nut off . But I got it off after getting here letting it cool and Voltage after 4.5 hrs. Still checked out high with no cables attach completely free of the aux. DISCLAIMER: Pics attached to reduce lameness and increase the oooo ahhh factor 😂

2022 overland gladiator
I am new to the gladiator I bought a 22 overland gas v6 with 11 k on it and my only experience with jeep was an 07 liberty since I got it I have been watching this forum and now I am wondering after reading the horror stories if I made a mistake. I have studied the manual but what is ess and ibs? I do always turn off the autostop after I start the truck but what is all this other stuff you. guys are talking about. I did buy the warranty plan but I don't need to be stranded somewhere. Im 83 and have always done my own work but lifting the hood and looking at that mess and all the electronic crap i am overwhelmed
