Jason, I’ve been watching your channel for years. I still go back to old videos to do upgrades to my jk. I recently upgraded the factory alternator to a power master. Fun upgrade! I got my original yellow top from watching your videos. Thank you for your knowledge that you share

Jason, I’ve been a fan of your Channel for years. I know it’s not always easy, but keep it up, your videos are amazing!

Dude I love all your videos, very informative. I’m still using a small bottle of Lucas fuel additive every tank of fuel based on your videos 👍🏻 keep up the good work

Another great installation video! Here's to powering peace of mind and adventure. 🎉

Thank you for another great video! I've been pondering this very thought for a while, as my JK needs a new battery. Couldn't find a lot of reliable info either, so I never pulled the trigger. Once again, Jeepin' Jason to the rescue! Much appreciated, sir!

Just bought a dh7 for my Wrangler Rubicon today. Thanks for the info.

Outstanding. Always looking forward to your vids!

Did I not see jason not use any dielectric grease on his battery terminals? You rock dude!

[Maxchiprat]

Just did it. So easy. Thank you Sir!!!

How? How did you know I was going to have starter issues this week? Turning the key brings on the dash and lights but just makes a clicking noise in the engine bay. My best guess is the starter isn’t getting enough power from my 7 year old battery after installing an SPod and Air Compressor. Time to order this exact Optima battery and use your video as an install guide 😂

I love that you can put a 55 lb battery on the Metalcloak fenders!!

I got a blue top back in 2013 still working like a new one

From the topics, filming and editing, always great videos! Question, did you track/test your fridge run time and compare to the newer battery? You have me curious now for my JL... For my fridge, I use a Jackery 1000 to run it, charging the Jackery as I drive from the Jeep, but... if I could get rid of the Jackery and just use a larger Jeep Battery,

You just opened my eyes on having a reliable battery.. specially since we go camping often. What do you do to the parts after an upgrade? Will i see this battery up for sale? 😅

[InterXpsn]

Great video, I might be doing this now for my JK. I was initially going to go the dual battery route from Genesis offroad, curious about the pros and cons between the two.

Good afternoon, I am the owner of a wonderful RR L320 Supercharged 2008. I got a very strong creak in the chassis, I took it to the service, the levers were replaced, but the creak did not disappear . It became smaller but did not disappear . I would like to replace the entire suspension in my RR with a new one. Tell me, can you do it?

Another informative video. Question (with lead up): I'm planning 14-ish day trip in July. Was thinking of doing a lithium battery setup for my fridge. I plan to travel every day, so the heaviest battery draw will be from the fridge while I sleep. As a self identiified battery geek, do you think this battery will handle be able to handle that much work, or do you suggest the lithium option?
