More on Optima Battery 34R spacer/adaptor

Looks like if you purchase an Optima 34R now the adaptor should be included in the cost....so don't get cheated ?
I'm still trying to decide if the Optima is worth $50 more than the Gold Diehard ?

My spacer was included when I got my 34R, and I think it's a better battery than the DieHard.

Whether you get the spacer or not, spend $36 on this:

MUCH better solution than the stock bracket with the spacer.

True that... But the difference in price is significant.

I'll have to start mentioning them both to be fair to all.

Hmmm...

https://www.yotatech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=80165

So,
84-95 Truck/4Runner Optima Battery Mounting Kit
$99 shipped in the continental 48 states

Optional Bottom Tray/Inner Fender Bolt On Kit
$15 shipped in the continental 48 states

84-95 Truck/4Runner Optima Battery Mounting Top Bracket Only
$39 shipped in the continental 48 states
Okay... the pricing is much the same then. But Wabbit isn't shipping the 3rd gen version yet.

Corrected I stand!

Yep, the pricing is pretty much the same. Just haven't had time to get my hands on a 3rd gen yet...but I will eventually.

I'm currently working on a "generic" Optima Battery Mounting Kit for an Ftoy owner which would work on any application pretty much.
