Ok so now it was time to start figuring where I could start stuffing big components and got a wild hair. So I took a bunch of measurements and looked like my idea might work--plus I used my rig as a test dummy lol to see if it would work. I had planned on sticking the batteries at the same level as the fuel cell--but with that idea we were going to run out of room for gear. So this was the idea I came up with.

I built a craddle for the batteries to sit in.

crash2 · Sep 11, 2007

My origional idea was to make it so the batteries would drop in and then the fuel cell--but I decided to try and make it so they will sneak out the side--its tight but they will fit...

I also found exactly where I want the fuel cell to fit....

Best part is--I can drag it out and have something for the kids to play on(that way they leave my rig alone) :haha:

I pull the damn thing out and I have every neighbor hood kid hanging off it :haha: :haha: :haha:

Best time was when the sherif rolled by--he just laughed and kept driving by :redneck:

Yes--looks like we will have more room than I origionally thought behind the tank for recovery gear--and depending on how I place the rad you should also have room behind the seats for goodies
