No pictures yet until finished though. Thinking about getting it anodized in what else but orange!

Group 27, 115 amp hours each. If I had the Height in my battery box, I'd be using 6 volt golf cart batteries in series, as they are even burlier deep cycle batteries. Not Cheap at 105$ each before tax, but they are true deep cycle 12 volt batteries. http://www.solar-electric.com/repoba12vo11.html Most batteries which say deep cycle/rv/marine are dual purpose batteries. Wally world everstarts dual purpose batts could be had for 82$ per battery in my area. Better than a starting battery for deep cycle use but 8 to 12 pounds lighter than the Deep Cycle Crowns of equal size. My engine starting battery is almost 5 years old now and is just about done too. But the New Deep cycles together have about twice the required CCA to start my engine. | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: May 2007 Posts: 9,854 Likes: 8 Festerus Vannimus | Festerus Vannimus Joined: May 2007 Posts: 9,854 Likes: 8 | Decided to put a stereo in the Astro before the sale of it. . . . .

They sent me a coupon for an oil change and a "72-point" inspection.
Came back that I needed a new drag link and upper ball joints. That explains the loose steering feeling I've been having lately. Ball joints? Crap..I had new ones put in 6 years ago. I'll check them myself when I put the drag link in this weekend. Went with Moog brand.
Just turned over 186,000 miles. All that steering stuff under there is original!
