zero luck this week man i hate it.
the window tint is the darkest, at night from the inside i just see lights, i almost crash twice because i cant see my rear mirrors.
love the stright pipe, i just add to my wish list some headers (maybe in the future)

no I dont not have dual battery, i dont have a winch or subs,, im just powering electric fans and roof lights. but when i do get winch and other goodies i plan on dual battery

its not the easiest thing to do but do some research,, i read a couple threads look it up
Also a better alternator(aftermarket)

i have done some research and i read that a solution for this problems are not 2 or 3 batteries. (its just this is the cheapest way)

1.-a solution is a better alternator as you say.
stock is 90amps maybe a 140amps would be enought.
2.-and a bigger battery instead of 2
the optima i use is 850amps, the 1200amps is bigger in size and capacity.

the battery i´m using is new, and buying a second battery is cheaper than an alternator and a bigger battery.
so i continue thinking what to do (not sure yet)
an aftermarket alternator is arround $350
and a second optima is arround $210 + wire, solenoid & stuff
