Only for the intake, make sure you're headed upstream to avoid the exhaust.

Is that "exhaust" legal in all 50 states?

Only CA, and D.C.

I'm afraid that both of those places are already on overload!!!!!

The reallly sad part is, Joey is working his tail off. But his wife just sees a SxS drive by the window every now and then. When he knocks off after dark he will end up with negative points for "playing " with the P1k all day.

Man code or not, what is a brother to do...

Man ain't that the truth!! If I had a dollar for every time I get accused of "playing" with the tractor or the sxs lmao.

I bought a new tractor to mow the lawn faster.

I bought the P-1000 to plow snow faster and inside a cab.

I bought a new truck to make sure that I get to work.


Somehow, my wife doesn't see those things correctly??????????

I went down to Oreilly auto parts and picked up a Super Start AGM in their power sports section. It fits nicely. Still got to get a isolator and better get a hold down strap.

This battery was $50 cheaper than the odyssey but it's AH rating is lower. It should be sufficient. They had bigger ones but I was saving a few dollars for the next mod.

I see a lot of add-on batteries here, no one around my neck of the woods does that. Do I need to start a new trend? I don't run a stereo, all I really use is a winch and a led light bar. Supper nice shop!!

Thanks bud, the mods really do have a purpose. The extra battery really helps when winching for utility purposes. My father likes milling his own lumber so we are always using the winch to pull trees. Some are extended pulls so the extra battery comes in handy.

I haven't added switches or stereo to the Farm Rig like I did Traveller but I really want to. We enjoy listening to the Braves game or music while out working. Just yesterday my phone was dead and I missed having those built in USB ports that are in Traveller. Even my father said the other day he wanted to add lights for varmint hunting because we've done that in Traveller and they help a ton.

However, all those accessories add weight and make the vehicle cumbersome. Our little Farm Rig is a blast to drive because of the quick handling and acceleration.

Oh no doubt at all, I was just wondering if I should follow suit.

Of coarse! There's no fun in sitting on the sidelines.

Same boat here. Most I ride with seem to have dual batteries. Either that or stick a yeller top Optima under driver's seat. Plus I always carry a jump box with me.

 

[truc577]

Read a past post regarding low voltage and possible clutch failure ties. Think dual bats will be added to the shop list.

 

[Delton]

And yes he has a super awesome shop! I leave there green as hell lol.

I guess that I can at least be a bad example!

I also remind my wife that since I'm "the cheap date" since I don't drink, smoke or do drugs so I have to occupy my time with something!
