    if you run it to the rear now, all the wiring and shit is there and placed when it comes time to pull the bed and start building.

    CMON PEOPLE!!! REMEMBER WHAT I SAID WHEN I STARTED THIS THREAD!!! THINK YOUR PROJECTS THROUGH! PLAN THEM OUT... IT WILL TAKE LONGER BUT ALWAYS ENDS UP WITH A COMPLETED PRODUCT FASTER AND CHEAPER!

    What is the advantage to running the battery in the rear if you aren't going to run a dual battery set up?

    Better weight distribution. But if you are just moving the battery its going to be a negligible difference

    True. And note.. my last fully built truck only ran one battery in the rear. Just because you have one back there doesn't mean you need two. And since its stock go ahead and tuck it ins corner and built a killer mount for it. Make it look good if your not going to be re doing it within the very near future.

    Looking for the opinions of you guys on a decent, affordable set of basic tools for fabrication. Recently i've been looking to get some basic hand tools, welder and possibly a used tube bender. What do you guys think about kobalt and craftsman tools? they look to be decently priced and have pretty good warranty options. I also have heard that kobalt was produced by Snap on but that may have been a few years ago. Also opinions on JD squared tube benders? i can get a pretty good deal on the model 3, the dies were kind of pricey but it looks to be pretty good quality. Any other things you can think of please feel free to add :D

    It's a hell of a deal someone should jump in this with you. I'll have mine tomorrow I'll toss one on a see how they last as I've never used the twinstars before.
