Since my stock battery is on its last leg, I figured I would look into the possibility of a dual battery setup. I saw the Kodiak Dual Battery System at the Pomona Offroad Show last weekend, which looks rather compelling.
Rmarz and a couple other people are running them on their LJs and seem to like them. http://www.expeditionportal.com/foru...ad.php?t=11809 I was curious if anyone was running them on an FJ, Tacoma or 4Runner.

I forgot to provide the link. http://www.kodiakinc.com/dual_battery.html I believe the FJ/4Runner/Tacoma kit runs off two Odyssey PC1200s.

Looks cool. I've been thinking of doing a dual battery set up and this looks like its relatively painfree. How do you order it? I guess you have to contact them for pricing and other info....

They only sell the setup as a complete kit, including the batteries. The one for the 4Runner is about $800. You have to call them to order it.

Does the stated $800 seem incredibly high for two batteries, an isolator and some cables? I don't have that much in my 4-battery installation with a kusmaul relay isolator, as used on emergency response vehicles.....
