Starting new project ?

I actually ended up ordering 50A Renogy and 125ah AGM battery.

I would be interested to see if you think the investment was worth it after say a couple years, if you keep the Gladiator. Was there a reason for the change to Lithium?

I changed to AGM since I live in Colorado and planning on doing couple camping trips during winter. Renogy has a safety feature that will not charge the battery when it is below 1c(32f) outside. So I want with AGM battery.

I got an update last week saying shipping labels had been produced, ordered back in October. Was hoping they’d come before this weekend but still waiting to ship.

Looks like you’re in South City, you installing yourself or taking to a shop?

Little stuff - Diode Dynamics SS3 yellow fog lights, hood struts (I dislike prop rods)
I’m actually interested in your feedback on both products! I’m looking at the yellow fogs from DD and the hood struts. After topping off fluids in the snow today and fumbling with the stupid prop rod with ice cold hands I’m strongly considering. What brand of hood strut did you go with?

Haven't had a chance to drive in conditions where fog lights would really matter - or show me the difference between stock and these.
The struts, however, that's easy.
The install is easy and quick. No drilling, you use two existing fender bolts for the lower bracket, and the upper bracket (on the hood) uses an existing slot.
These are strong struts.
They shipped them in a strong tube USPS.
I've never been a fan of the "prop rods" but the Jeep version bothers me because the clip that holds it up on the hood when not in use is really stiff and I'm concerned about cold weather - plastic - snap.
And I've always been concerned about my making a bad move or turning wrong and bumping the prop rod.
When my wife saw me get the mail and bring it in -I told her what it was - and said "you know how your Jeep has struts so when you open the hood it goes up and stays up, no rod in the way, but on mine..............." and she made the motion as if drawing out a prop rod and acted as if she fully approved.
Anyway, the brackets look very strong, are simple to install, and if you trade Jeeps would be extremely simple to remove and transfer to another.
