rear battery relocated

I removed the under seat tool box. Only rusty area on my 3a tub. While the lid was setting on the rear bed, I noticed how well the stiffing ribs matched(que in light bulb). Idea! Drop my battery under floor not on it.
Battery sets above long tube side of off-set D44. About 2 1/2" of lift are needed to clear at full compression of rear suspenssion. Future plan is for a Painless Master Remote battery disconnect kit. Soleniod will mount on shelf next to battery.

Very nice. I would consider that if I was not planning on a rear gas tank sometime in the future.

 

Very cool idea! I bet that'd work on the '6 closer to the front......

Nice. Since you have limited vertical clearance you might consider adding some terminal covers to the battery. I picked up some from my local boat dealer for 5 bucks.

I have a rear tank. There is room if you mount a Postal Jeep tank.

 

Do you have pictures of that? Mine is still a plastic gas can sitting on the front bumper.

 

Yes I'd like to see pics of the tank. How many gallons does the postal tank hold?

 

12 or 13 gals. is the most I recall adding a once. Here is underside photos. My apologies they aren't in order.
