    Starting to get my dual battery setup done.

    Fitted the tray and made supports for it. Just need to weld them in.

    5840a11036b2fc7a5db815f3d664870a_zpsbc60_68491209f7fa60d53be6677c537420b5391e0b6c.jpg

    Using 1" square that was scrap. Capped ends for bolts.
    4eae9b370d21d02c7c772be7f849dcde_zps33d4_f9e69ce4cb7f8ed9453aba680b0da6135d9c31b9.jpg

    Cut to fit in the fender well

    ec29b28bfa356f602290aa9baa89bd74_zps53d0_4abe045b14ae00cdf011a525f663c8f66b130c79.jpg

    And where they will get welded in

    d13d20d44229963d13422a347939e896_zpsebcd_16488e1de04cc9a6777e3af659fa112af3ab6ab7.jpg

    Ordering some 4/0 gauge ends today for the main power wire from the primary battery to secondary.

    As well as new 2000lb vertical latch for the rear bumper.

    Then ill make one big trip to weld up the battery mounts. Camp light mounts. Diff skids and rear bumper.

    Ordered my 1/0 gauge ends. Going to use my power cable I have for my amps from my stereo. It's still running them and all my lights pretty much of that one wire.

    Also ordered my new latch. Can't wait to not have a rattly tire gate.

    And ordered my bike rack stuff

    Modded the battery basket a bit. Just added another hole as I'm going to mount the solenoid on it.

    also got my bike mounts..not sure i like them yet..might sell them and get some different ones. Easy part to change out either way.

    Still can't decide if I want a bumper with a tire carrier or just mount a 33" spare in place of my original spare...

    I went high clearance so I can't safely run a spare under the bed anymore. I'm going to just run one in the bed and hope it doesn't get fucking stolen!
