Battery Relocate - The Beauty of Optima

it wont tuck in any more its up against the bottom of the bed now...lol

Yeah, the only way would be to put it behind the tire which is prob where it should be. But it is where it is.

im glad i can get one for $80 new

also Moze, nice job, glad to see you still touch the truck every now and then

Good idea. It is an Optima like you said, so If you think it hangs down to far maybe put it with it's side towards the ground. I know that would prolly require more work than you're already done with the box and everything

Or rotate it 90 deg. and mod the bracket a little, looks like it would give you at least an inch, that's not much work for an another inch!!!

what was the reason you relocated the battery?

room for turbo , asthetics ??

[DamnYankee]

The turbo kit I bought was designed (poorly) so the air intake filter went where the battery sits. Turns out I'm now going to do it on the passengers side now. It's cool though - it should help with traction - even if it's minimal.

...I'm on Haskell Ave. (not exactly the nice part of town), homeless people are literally asking me for money while I was under the truck in 100 degree heat screwing with a broken down truck.

LOL! I've actually had that happen before. Both on Haskell and on Gaston right behind Fair Park. Makes you want to smack em with a driveshaft.

Driveshaft? We have hands, elbows, and knees for a reason.
