Reverse post layout?

Terminal layout is (+)____(-) as viewed from the front of the vehicle.

So it's a reverse terminal. Perfect for a Toyota.

Not necessarily.

This is a 34-78:

This is a 34R (Reverse post):

Information that I have supplied is accurate. MoGas- if this is your battery, it is the optima label upside down that is a give away that it has been installed reversed. The 34-78 is installed reading the optima label right side up and terminal location (+)____(-) as viewed from the front.

I'd need the 34R like MoGas shows. The cables on the 100 are short.

I'm not trying to kill a sale or anything, so just calm down.

An Optima 34-78 will not be able to be hooked up in a 93+ 80 series Land Cruiser, 100 series Land Cruiser and many year Tacomas, in the factory battery location, without modification to the leads because they won't reach.

It would work fine in a 60/62, many Hilux pickups, and 91-92 80 series Cruisers.
