Battery Life
You're correct. The smart Traxide isolator does indeed keep them connected, resulting in a low state of charge (12.3-12.4) in both. When I installed the Traxide I expected to see a low starting battery, but a high 2nd battery being held in reserve. But, the Traxide just dumped any extra... -

steering wheel shakes at 60+mph
Geez, you're absolutely right... it's 103 ft/lbs. My bad. I was so used to the BMWs I've run that I stuck that in. I'll edit the post if I can to prevent others from following. Thanks. -

Terrafirma hidden winch install
I'm about to install the Devon hidden winch, so great to see your install details--thanks! What did you (or others) do to connect to the negative terminal of the primary battery? I'm making 1/0 cables but attaching to the frame ground will create a huge bottleneck for amperage flow. The... -

Battery Life
It’s pretty well documented that the LR4 uses a very weak charging profile. The computer controlled alternator only charges infrequently, and rarely at its highest level of 14.2v, presumably to reduce drag (parasitic loss) and boost gas mileage. This is particularly true if you take frequent...
