Awesome video

[@jimfarmer7193]

You make it look a lot easier than it actually is . . . Such things like aftermarket fenders and or hood struts make it a much tighter squeeze. But it does fit after some shoe horning.
I'll get mine finished up tomorrow

Gen 3 looks so nice and clean, love the bus bars!

[@GenesisOffroad]

Thank you!

[@chucktaylor4958]

While doing this upgrade, change out the spark plugs as well.

[@MuddyElbows]

I like how you cut away to younger you :) Good looking holder. It looks very well made.

[@TheKillerMarine]

Would love to see some stuff for Rams even the older 2nd gens as they are becoming overland vehicles

[@jamesdeloach5026]

Thanks!

[@RobertGeneretteIII]

Very nice.

[@mikehoffman3690]

Great video. The Dual Battery set up works perfectly.

[@GenesisOffroad]

Thanks Mike!

[@brucenix2037]

Great battery system. I need to upgrade for the GEN3. We are running the yellow top Optima with our. so i need to save up to upgrade both batteries also. Can i use the same G-Screen also?

[@GenesisOffroad]

If you already have a G Screen and want to use it with our Gen 3 kit, we can upgrade it for you so it's compatible. You can see more details on the upgrade at this link - www.genesisoffroad.com/firmware-update

Is this guy an aircraft avionics technician on the side? Installs looking clean.

[@GenesisOffroad]

Not avionics, but Shane spent 20 years as an IT Systems Engineer.

[@iFanchi]

Where did you connect the power steps didn't see them reconnected.
I have power steps and am going to install this kit next week.

[@GenesisOffroad]

Connect them to the bus bars. That way they will run from the second battery and won’t drain your cranking battery.

[@earlhamil731]

After this is installed what runs the electronics if start stop is not disabled?

[@GenesisOffroad]

After starting the engine, our system links the batteries together within a minute or so, and then they work like one large battery, so both of them will power the vehicle when the engine stops at a red light, and both will crank the engine when it restarts at a red light.

any recommended dealer/installer, I wanna get it done in one place

[@tagalog101]

Love it, but sad that it doesn’t work with optima batteries. Can’t spend $450 only to have to spend another $500 on new batteries.

[@richardwald5259]

Optima battery's are junk.

[@tagalog101]

@@richardwald5259 ok. Mine have been flawless for years. Not doubt you have bad experiences with them.

[@devlinsemmler8236]

@@richardwald5259 hilarious, you have no idea of what you’re talking about. Optima regularly rates as one of the best batteries you can buy and they are super tough at resisting vibration.

[@vegasfordguy]

Looks to be poorly engineered. The evap solenoid with the rubber hose and clamps is jerry rigged. Having to cut the air box mounts is cheesy. It should have all been integrated into one piece. Having to cut the studs on the firewall is ridiculous as well.

[@jimfarmer7193]

I guess you don't do to many aftermarket add-ons . . .

[@vegasfordguy]

@@jimfarmer7193 Not generic crappy ones.

[@joeshredz]

@@vegasfordguyfacts same here, definitely a no go

[@socomt5]

Great system. But a little pricey for a d tray.

[@GenesisOffroad]

Thanks to inflation the price of every single component in the kit has gone way up.
