But then you have to crack n clean them. Not fun. But once they're in a pan later that evening swimmimg in chopped garlic and butter, all's forgotten and forgiven, and nothing else is tastier!

Hmmmmm... i gotta try these smelt!

So I think the delay on my Z was because it tested positive for covid and had to be quarantined for two weeks at the shop

I drive through Athens once in a while on my way to Durhamtown offroad MX 'resort' near Union Point GA. I'll have to stop in and check out CC next time I'm there.

I have a new yellow top in my Jeep installed 7 mo ago, it’s been fine, works great, but that’s not exactly scientific info. Would/will buy again but hopefully not have to for a long time.

The guys on the Power Wagon forum won't go near a red or yellow top. Everyone is switching over to the Odyssey batteries. They hold up better with all the winching. I have one in my Power Wagon, with a DC Power 270 amp alternator. All of my battery cables are 00 size

Here the battery you want in your Z. My next one when my oem dies.
