Just some advice for everyone putting their battery in the trunk. Make sure you put a fuse on the positive lead as close as possible to the battery. You guys all seem to be doing it properly using the correct gauge of wire to reduce current loss. But if that wire gets cut somehow and there isn't a fuse you will have a fire. Wire that size doesn't melt to easily to break the circuit. It does get white hot in a hurry though.
Also don't be concerned about drilling back there. The fuel tank stops before the forward edge of the spare tire well and that is between the strut towers. Just get underneath and look before you drill but there isn't much back there. I'd be more worried about a 100 pound battery loose in case of an accident. |
