Yeah I actually had to do a double take the first time I looked at the first few pictures! I'm so jealous of the gears and lockers! Wish I had the funds when the GB was open... Oh well I'll get it done eventually.

Yeah it's a little hard to see the dark blue in the pic.Nice thanks man i'm going to pick one up. Did you have to make brackets for it to mount it flush in the corner?

How did you go about wiring the second battery and what kind of switch did you use too keep it charging(bad wording but I cant think of the proper term).

Yes i had to make brackets but the volant intake helped give me more room to get around the main wire harness
I got to say I like your rims!!
lastly wait until black Friday to get the battery box it should save you 20% if I remember correctly ( yes I have had the box for awhile lol )

Yeah i figured,can easily fab some up. I have the AFE intake so it will pretty much sit in the same spot. But i was thinking of maybe putting the battery in front of the intake and using that corner for my future arb air compressor. Still debating?
Thanks, I'm really happy with them! They give our trucks a nice stance i think it sits perfect now. I could see you sporting a nice pair of silver 5stars (i think the silver would compliment the blue)
That's a good point thanks i will definitely wait till black friday to purchase it

it looked like the easiest to hook up, one button jump start, and it will not overload the alternator plus from research on this forum allot of people liked it
I am looking into a few battery monitors

oh ok I'll have to look into that. I was thinking about putting it on a boat switch to where there was battery 1, battery 2, and then both where they were connected together but I'm not good with stuff like that so I'd have to have someone lay it out in dummy terms

I was looking into rims before I blew the diff now I will be saving up again I want to get rid of the spacers
Nyc-Runner
New member
Yeah that's why i really liked these wheels because i could eliminate the spacers and still have that nice wide stance. Oh well all in good time, I really wanted to get in on the ARB locker GB but i just couldn't swing it right now soo like i said all in good time haha

That would work
with this one you just hook the one side to the main battery and the other side to the 2nd battery. the boost wire just has to be connected to a switch and I guess ground and your done!
