Long Travel BS Thread

If you use heavy enough tubing I'm sure you could build something strong enough to keep the battery in the stock ish location. That's my plan when I remove mine in the spring.

 

Not exactly the cheap option but probably the most effective, just copy the Dutchman, he put the UMP filter in there, that will do that job and then some with the prefilter cap as well

 

I think he's just talking about removing the plastic fender liner, not removing the whole inner fender like you're thinking.

 

if i ever get it up in my cab i'm going to be pissed, i'm looking more into slow crawling and only water that's in trail. mud holes on trails that are avoidable are avoided by me lol.

 

thats it, anyone know where i can get best write up or idea for that routing into the cab?

 

I'm now looking in to mounting my battery under the truck off a frame rail. That box is just killing my bed space with the spare in the back. Also looking into building a new bedcage with dual spares sunk into the bed.

 

Similar here, im trying to keep all the bed space i can since i haul dirtbikes often enough. Something under the bed near the frame seems good, any worry of being too exposed to dirt and stuff?
Seems like you could put a sealed battery like an optima, sideways against the inner framerail just under the corners of the bed. Ground to the frame and run a positive 0awg back to the oem location with an isolated positive terminal post?

 

I'm thinking one of those plastic sealed battery boxes to protect the battery should fit into a frame mount just fine, if not, I'll cram it in. That's what she said.

 

Did a Satoshi grill to fit the shelid. Filter was only like 23 bucks or something like that from AEM.

 

Mine is satoshi'd as well. That's cheap for the filter. Would've done that if I had thought of it. But oh well, mine works fine. Just no deep water crossings.

 

Im amigos with Nick and Taylor.

 

Plenty of room behind the back seat. That’s where mine is

 

I've been considering this as well, need to get my sub/amp installed and see how much room I have left. Should be plenty of room to put a battery there and compressor mounted to the cab.

 

Although I’m not interested in dual batteries, the thread I’m attaching inspired my project. http://gitout.com/showthread.php?979-2nd-gen-Toyota-Tacoma-Camp-Sportsmen-Family-build

 

Huh, no sir I was referring to the air box.

 

My mistake. Saw all the fender chopping battery relocation talk.

 

I still want your kit, but money and all ya know lol

 

At the moment, behind my seats are spoken for in the way of a custom dual subwoofer enclosure and a rack to hold the 3 audio amps.
I’m trying to mix too many features of race truck, daily driver, and “luxury” items.

Your truck is definitely an inspiration links/cage with 90% usable bed is what I dream of

 

someone find me some damn 3.0s or 3.5 16s....
