Re: Has anyone relocated their battery?

Thanks for the ideas..

bigblock73: I seen that one in a tech article on CPP. I haven't seen it for sale on their website.

BTW do you like it? Any dislikes?

Oh just realized that location won't work with my dual tanks though...

Re: Has anyone relocated their battery?

I moved mine under the bed with floor cut out for now but plan on sheet metal bed floor and connections running to the back of the truck for each battery.

Re: Has anyone relocated their battery?

I'm curious as to why you would remove your inner fenders?

That looks like a cool relocation kit, but would it be a pain getting access to the battery right in front of the rear tire like that?

Re: Has anyone relocated their battery?

i took out my inner fenders because they were so rotted they made my engine compartment look worse. also, because i plan on lowering the front eventually one ay when i have the time , and just in case i went oo low, dont wanna have anything to rub. i tend to like my vehicles terribly low.
