New England Mod & Meetup Thread:

These folks are great, they don’t mind helping clueless folks like me.

 

Damn that was a one day only thing? Sad I missed it.

 

@AllTacosFloat a little birdie tells me you moved your battery to the bed.
I just got a 27F agm last night. Might be curious to see/replicate that.

It was Matt. Matt was the little birdie.

 

Ive been looking at this too.

Not me! Well kinda. I have a truck toolbox that I have fit up to hold a battery and did for a bit. Too many worries of impact. I do plan on the back seat duel batteries again.

I had duel batteries behind my passenger back seat in the last truck. Bet you could get it behind your driver seat.

i probably have plenty of welding cable to make your long runs if you’re looking heavy duty

 

That’s who i followed

 

Im tempted to set up a trail welding setup so I can be more stupid in the woods

 

I found that thread too. That's kind of what i want to try to avoid happening

Might be able to fit it in the back somehow.

Cheers thanks - I might have to take a look at it.

I have the cubby area behind the rear passenger seat still available. Might look to see if I can stash it there...

 

Just need a strong enough to support that shit or you’ll be doubling back in the middle of nowhere for it

 

The front end weight loss routine doesnt work as well as the rear. Crash bar + removed plastic is only 23 lbs.

Solidworks says my design is 81 lbs.

 

Nah, it'll be easy to find - it'll have been launched through Matt's windshield, he'll deliver it right to my truck!

I am looking at the relo to the second battery spot but was planning on the cowl intake there.

 

Drill some go faster holes through it, problem solved!

Winch plates/supports aren't going to do you any favors for weight reduction.

Do you already have the support brackets in there?

^^ Turd gen but I can assume you can find something for second gens.

 

Im not too worried, just wanted to put some actual numbers to what we have been saying.

 

Just saw this on FB

 

Is Matt a meme now???

 

Me first (being stupid, not welding in the woods)

 

I haven't been meme this whole time?

 

I do want to relocate my battery as well at some point, jd fab is coming out with a cubby box for batteries but it's spendy and I'm cheap lol. I'll probably try to figure out a box at the bed bulkhead instead of putting it where my head will likely be sleeping in the cab

 

If you're doing the chop, that's material you can take off as well. But 80# is awesome
