onebadmonte Posted March 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Hell yea dude. Skillz damn dude, nice. Epic skills! and you also have a place to smuggle drugs Thanks guys. I've been focusing on this rack a bit extra in this build. I've never done anything like this before, so I'm pretty stoked about how it's coming out. Being that I didn't have any room inside the truck because of the box size and wanting to keep the third row this location was my only real alternative. Because of this extreme location it's best to take some time and do it right, what ever that it.

bcpballer64 Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Are you going to have an arching problem with the batts being that close to the frame? I wouldnt think to but you might want the cover the + side somehow just to be safe. But that looks sick as hell man i love the batt rack. And you have some nice machine skills.

onebadmonte Posted March 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Thanks fellas. Sorry for slow goings. Things seem to be coming back on track, fingers crossed. I got my battery hold-downs cut and now I've got to bend them. Easier said than done, but here is the catch, they're cut from 1/4" steel. Here goes: Here is a pic of the hold downs and my weenie vise. Here's the part in the vise ready for bending. If you haven't guessed by now it's the little tangs that need bending. Haha, had you going, you thought I was going to use the hammer for this one. It's the power of leverage that will be utilized for this one. Yes, my arms are that effing hairy. Bam, tang bent. It was easier said than done. BTW That orange tube is from a bottle jack. Here's a close up of the little f*cker. So why the tang to begin with you ask? Well, I figure I could use a little something to keep the batteries spaced away from rubbing on the threaded rod and each other. This seemed like a most elegant solution. Here is the hold down in place. The whole shebang. Solid. The whole bunch together for a family portrait. More on the way.
