    being a posterchild for ODD, how do I do this?

    so for a 740AH battery bank I should use about 800W of panels, but what amp rating of charger? Do the AGM lead acid batteries have the same deep discharge characteristics?

    being a posterchild for ODD, how do I do this?

    BF Goodrich KO2 34/10.5/17D vs 35/12.5/17E

    Suburban/Tahoe owners what size tire do you run?

    BF Goodrich AT/KO2 LT34/10.5R17 on OEM 17" rims, 3.73diff, 2" lift/3" keys, 1" wheel spacers for stability (usually has RTT on top) after trimming wheel studs to not hit rims. No fender trimming. Would like to go with lower gears but 4.56 too low / 4.11 not quite enough so still searching.
