What have you done to your 1st gen Tundra today?

My Labor Day purchase showed up today, now I’m ready to go do some of that overlanding that the kids keep talking about.

 

Get yourself a Fanny pack and a hazy ipa and you’ll be set!

 

Feeling personally attacked here.

 

Personally, I’d rather go underlanding in station wagon with an air mattress, fishing gear and a case of beer in the back and a snorkel for when I need to cross a stream.

 

I have a Cat D9... LOL

Branson 1905H with a BL90 front end loader. The smallest tractor Branson (now YTM(?) made).

No rear attachments, yet.

If I keep it and not upsize to another client's Branson 2400h with BL100 front end loader or buy a John Deere on payments, I hope to buy a backhoe, front grapple, brush hog, fork-lift-type front forks or whatever you call those.

 

I blame @KNABORES

 

I tried to wire up my DC-dc charger from my starter battery to my house battery but I encounted the OEM negative terminal ring.

I need to add a 50A connection here...But I don't want to replace the terminal...

Would you:

A get an SDHQ terminal and their copper terminal post kit so I can add more but retain the oem ring... Or something else? I don't really wanna stack washers so I can install a 4 awg 1/4" lug here...

Thoughts?!

 

This is hard to like, so I won’t. But I’ll admit……. I feel a little like the dad in A Christmas story when he gets a flat. I’m upset, but secretly want to see how quickly I can plug it.

 

I do miss my Subaru Outback, great camping and mountain biking rig. Unfortunately it couldn't haul a motorcycle without a trailer. This soft topper is going to spend most of its time folded up and tucked away, but it will make camping trips easier and I can stop carrying everything in the back of the cab.

 

Speaking from experience?

 

I wouldn't bother with the SDHQ kit or straying from the OEM negative ring. It doesn't have to be connected directly on top of the battery. I have tons of aftermarket wiring including a DC-to-DC, and my negative loom is untouched except for upgrading to a larger negative battery cable.

You could stack underneath where the negative battery cable is bolted to the fender, or explore using something like a bus bar or Blue Seas fuse block with negative terminals.
