What have you done to your 5th Gen 4Runner today?

There is some interesting conversation out there about the 3 lines of EverStart

It seems there is some physical differences in the product lines. And I thought it was Walmart simply using Price Tiering

EverStart batteries are manufactured by East Penn Manufacturing and Exide Technologies
and I guess the preference is to get the East Penn Manufacturing ones for better overall quality? https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/identifying-east-penn-batteries-at-walmart.391629/

 

I went through the threads you referenced. I was getting into analysis paralysis with the battery.So I got the most current one they had on the shelf, it measured good on the meter and in about 10 mins I was out.
If it gives me 3 years I am happy. If not, they will give me a new one.

 

I've had the Everstart for about 4 years now.

Still going strong.

 

Got her weighed today 6020 lbs, with me in it. She’s a lard ass no wonder she’s got a saggy bottom, and I’m getting sub 12 mpg

 

I said "don't bother building a platform".......like a lot of people do with screws, glue, carpet kit, ect......

I don't consider what I did building.

 

I feel your pain also, my runner is overweight also. For the sagging I went with the extra heavy duty Icon springs. I also changed the brake system to stop tech brakes. When I hook up my trailer it, sagging, is the worst. Considering airbags for those times. Part of the weight cause is I have a 24 gal aux gas tank where the spare normally sits. The mpg is like yours, oh well our builds are the cause, your runner looks great. Just curious what is the main weight on yours?
