Default Amazing Rover!

I think I may have most of the bugs worked out of the Rover! I have been gone 2 months and when I came home I was expecting the Rover to be sitting on the bump stops with a dead battery. (The weather has been very cold and nasty) To my astonishment, I pulled in the driveway and my Rover was standing tall at its normal ride height. This got me so excited that I decided to try and start it before I even went into the house. She fired right up!!! I was a proud, proud daddy!

Mine was usually dead if I didn't drive it for a week. I put a Diehard Platinum in there this fall and it has never given me any trouble. The truck turns over 25% faster now too. Thats a major plus in sub zero temps.

I've thought about the dual setup myself. Take some pictures when you are done. A parts list would be great too!
