If you were going to be in remote areas with an automatic, you'd at
least want an aux battery and a spare starter onboard.  Preferably, the
aux battery would be hooked up via a Sure Power 1315 and 4 gauge cables
so that the aux could provide a boost for the starting battery without
having to jumper them together.
