    You could put them in a battery box. They’ll be more protected than under the hood or under the bed. Downside is they’ll take up bed space. Another upside to both is less heat.
    An Anderson plug would work. How about a big blue sea’s battery switch?

    Sweet truck by they way!

    I'm not a fan of batteries in the bed but if I do relocate them under the bed I'll wrap them in some 1/4'' plate to make sure that nothing will happen if they take a hit.

    I really like the idea of the blue sea battery switch.

    If you still have OEM fenders, I bet @eon_blue would love to buy the set off of you to replace his thin aftermarket one.

    Fiberwerx. I'd get advanced glass though next time. Although advanced gladd is only 3.5" flare so barely wider than stock. Mine were 4.5 I think.

    Box rocket had 3.5 flare glasswork(advanced glass now runs it) with just 33s and it looked good.

    I'd not run rear glass honestly. Smallest you can get is 6" flare per side. Not worth it.

    Well it won't happen anytime soon, but if I do decide to go the fiberglass route I'll let you know.

    I've always wanted glass to get rid of the fender holes. Would look cleaner in general IMO. But I think I would want to do it to a newish/better condition bed too, mine has seen better days between all the holes I have drilled and shit I have cut/dented into it. I say def go for the glass up front.

    @Blackdawg when you had 35's and mid travel did you rub anywhere at the top of the wheel well? Like airbox or battery mount area?

    Yeah you gotta do some hammering along the top for sure on the driver side.

    Less so on the passenger side but that's because the washer bottle is in the way and just come's out completely for 35s.

    Maybe I'll just have to build a new bumper with a single tube wrapping around under the bedside.

    I won't do front glass without rear glass. Just don't like the look of front glass without flares combined with stock bedsides with flares, or having glass up front and the flare holes being exposed in the rear.

    Anyone know how much wider a t100 or tundra axle is over ours?
