Got some more work done.....still not finished though....

There will be a couple 1 ½" braces between the main hoop and lower braces. Also there will be a bracket that mounts onto the lower gussets that tie into the side stock bumper mounts. I might eventually run a brace to the body mount bolts (like marlins design) but for now I think it should suffice

I have had three red tops had problems out of all of them I run interstate batteries now.

Nice looking work being done on the front bumper

Does the stinger come higher than the top of the radiator? I like the gussets you put near corners.

GJToyotabug · « **Reply #1457 on:** Aug 24, 2008, 08:06:40 PM »

RK · « **Reply #1458 on:** Aug 25, 2008, 07:41:13 AM »

THK Matt · « **Reply #1459 on:** Aug 25, 2008, 07:46:16 AM »

the CA and CCA is all pretty much the same... its more color preference and the marine one is waterproof so it doesnt short out? i think.

if i remember right.

The stinger comes right up to the top of the hood. You can just see the top of the tube over the hood from the drivers seat...just where I wanted it. That way I can come up to a tree and know which side I am going to be going off it.

I got the ideas for the bumper by combining these 2 bumper designs into something I thought was a little more simple and functional. I used the side bar gussets like marlins has. I didnt like the "squared off" style stinger because if you hit something straight on it could stop you

NO. i will educate yall if it's the last thing I do.
Red tops are starting batteries. that is all they are designed to do. High power, no good for a deep discharge situation.

Yellow tops are sort of a compromise battery. Mainly designed for marine starting and audio applications, they provide good cranking power and a good discharge rate.

Blue tops are a straight up deep cycle battery, designed for use in an RV or in a boat running a trolling motor. low cranking power with a long reserve capacity

So if I were to run a dual battery setup, which two should I use? One red and one yellow? Or one red and one blue? Or what? ( sorry for messing up your thread DTB, but I am highly interested)

THK Matt · « **Reply #1468 on:** Aug 25, 2008, 06:34:41 PM »

red for your engine and yellow for your Aux battery.
