    It's a pretty tight fit. I don't think it would clear the hood (might as well check though..). The battery is about 6 inches wide or so, and 8 inches tall with the terminals on top. All the other 1st get dual battery installs on the passenger side like this use sealed batteries laying on their side.

    Edit: I should clarify this is a sealed battery. The Die Hard Advanced Gold batteries from Sears are relabeled Deka Intimidators.

    And I'm guessing your 35 taps the fender right under the battery? Lol

    Pretty easy honestly...I saw a write up that he had to cut off a leg of the grille but all my legs and mounts lined up in the core support. Just need to tack and weld a little bit of the headlight mounts so they stay in place instead of just bolted in on top. Pretty simple when you start doin it lol

    @anthony250f @Blackdawg Your second battery installs look good. I wish I would have seen them before I started the whole process. How are they holding up?

    Just relocated it to the passenger side? What did you use to secure it to the fender? Fender washers and screws? Anything unique?
