GirsMJ86 Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 is there an optima yellow top that will work with my 86? i like to use my truck as a sort of outdoors radio since i have an xplod in it. but on the optma site they say none of their batteries will fit. i was looking and i think the D34/78 or D34 would work. but will my alt handle it? i need a new alt soon anyways so is there a heavy duty alt that will work with the D34/78 or D34 yellow top? here is the yellow tops spec sheet: http://www.optimabatteries.com/publish/ ... specs.html thanks alot, alex.

pingpong Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 You will need to change your battery tray out for one for a 4.0. Yes your alt will be able to handle it. Just ask Jeff he has one of my old Yellow tops in his rig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirsMJ86 Posted July 8, 2006 Author Share Posted July 8, 2006 ok cool. i went out and measured it after i wrote this and it seems lie it will fit. if not i have a spare 4.0 batt tray in the barn somewhere i can use. thanks. alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROADLESS Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Are u going with the dual purpose (deep cycle and starting) Yellow Top ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bounty Hunter Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Are u going with the dual purpose (deep cycle and starting) Yellow Top ? I hope so, that's the only way to go. I have the bluetop (D34M) and love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the bluetop (D34M) and love it. The reason i mention it is that i think Optima has recently added the DP Yellow top to their line and am just making sure ppl are aware of this. I also have a Blue top, won't buy any other (brand that is) IMO :thumbsup: ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stumpy Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 i don't see why it wouldn't fit as a 34 series battery is the MJ calls for. my wifes Zj has the same battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirsMJ86 Posted July 9, 2006 Author Share Posted July 9, 2006 i don't see why it wouldn't fit as a 34 series battery is the MJ calls for. my wifes Zj has the same battery. yea i know i was thinking that too. i even went and measured and it matched up. but for the mjs on the site if you do the battery match thing they say they don't make one for it. who knows. Are u going with the dual purpose (deep cycle and starting) Yellow Top ? yes i am going the the duel purp yellow top. i need something that i don't have to worry about as much if i am only listening to music. alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just ask Jeff he has one of my old Yellow tops in his rig :cheers: I did have to swap out the battery tray with one from a 4.0L XJ....the battery was too wide for the 2.5 one, and the J-bolts were too short.

mjeff87 Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 :chillin: Too bad the rest of the truck doesn't look so swell, though. I like to keep the mechanicals clean so I don't get (too) greasy when I'm wrenching. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
