L400 Dual Batteries / what can i get?

Ended up with a pair of AC Delco / 24PS - bang on fit and she started right up quick!

Tried to get another pair of world source one / 24MF but the polarities were on the wrong side.

Thanks!

Re: Sliding door window glass falling out repair

thanks for the links and replies. great idea!

I'll have to try and pry it out to see for myself to understand better

Re: help! too cold to start! need real time advice if possi

Re: help! too cold to start! need real time advice if possi

thanks for the replies fellas. guessing bottom line, these rigs are just not built for 20 below and colder. my diesel hdj81 land cruiser, albeit with a 12V system and 24V start has never had any problems (which is why when it's extra cold, the wife takes this to work). i mean, what would one do if t...

Re: yikes, engine noise/lights, where do i start? help!
