    Why not use a credit card?  I'm guessing you used a debit card for your tag fee?

    And how much was your insurance bill that it drained your account balance?

    I'm hardly a rich man (at least in dollars) but it would take a few insurance payments to drain my account.

    Of course, I use a CC for my tag fee and insurance payments and everyone should cancel their DC as they are the worst for fraud, etc.

    Better luck next year.

    Thank you sweet baby Jesus!

    I for sure drew an elk tag since there is a pending $135 charge.  I did not draw last year.

    There is $50 charge too but not sure what that is since a resident youth elk tag costs $63.

    Anyone have any idea 'bout the $50 charge? I know the application fee is $13 so maybe that explains it?

    AGM batteries need a slightly higher charge than the stock alternator puts out. They need 14.1 to 14.8 volts to stay happy. Look up voltage booster. I bought one for my 5th gen 4Runner. It plugs right in and uses the factory fuse. Sorry to hear about your bad experience with Odyssey. I'm running a Northstar X2. I believe it is the same as Odyssey. ???

    Good info on the AGM charging requirements.  I have had an X2 Power in my T4R for 3.5 years with nary a problem.

    NorthStar makes the X2 Power ( sold by Batteries +), but just rebranded.  I had a NorthStar tech tell me that in 2019 when I was looking for a beefy battery for my T4R.

    He said get an X2 and save a few dollars, get a better warranty and easier to exchange if needed, as they are the exact same battery. I appreciated that and did when they had a sale and rebate soon thereafter.  My OTD cost was $310.   Pricey but a top notch battery and really nothing when amortized over the 5+ years it will last.

    P.S. I looked into the Odyssey battery and was not liking what I was finding given the premium price.

    Did you upgrade? How did you like them?

    Upgraded to noorio.  Noorio is still battery powered and wireless connectivity, but has a bit more functionality and better battery life as the battery is larger.

    For a basic security camera system, Arlo worked well for its ease of install and batteries still lasted a fairly long time unless in a high traffic area like a driveway.  That required a new battery every 2-3 weeks.  Patio and front door lasted a couple month easy.

    Hello All,

    Well, our garage fridge died this week and I'm posting to see if a forum member has a fridge or fridge/freezer combo that they are willing to sell?

    Most anything will work as long as it's reliable and fully functionable.

    Post what you have here or PM me.

    We're in NE Phoenix/Scottsdale and I'll travel within a radius of 20 miles of 85254.

    Thanks,

    Eddie

     

    P.S. Side by side fridges are a no go for our garage.

    No way NTS.  It seems you are smart enough to live outside the highly populated areas.  👍
