'85 Trooper 6 X 15" Dd Audio Clamshell, 16000wrms

They didn't have three more in stock. I will be going seven in the back. This model is 150 amp hours and 1000cca. There is an even larger model, the 200AH but way to impractical to fit enough of them. Hopefully next week I will pick up the other three batteries. I hope my car handles the extra weight, these batteries are 99lbs each!

Thanks guys

Until I get my batteries I will be limited as to what work I can do.

I did a little bit of work just to keep progress rolling.

I had a bit of an issue with the batteries not being flat, silly carry handles and the shape of the casing. No worries, I cut the handles off, interesting trying to pick them up with no ropes to grab hold of

So I couldn't stack them vertically because they wouldn't sit properly.

So I made these 'train tracks' for the batteries to sit on.

You can see the batteries now lock into this slot so they won't be moving around and are held firmly in place

So we got four over here

and provision for three more over here

I made up this frame to keep everything in place, should be a nice firm fit back there

Thanks guys

Got these big ass boxes this afternoon... damn they are heavy...

Surprise? I guess not.

Yep you've seen these before somewhere.

My back hurts, it's gunna suck to lift these out again

But damn they look impressive and mighty heavy, can't wait to (try to) drive the car with the extra weight

Let me know if you want to see the next step, drilling and tapping out the buzz bars

Cheers

Id be interested to see before and after pics of how your rear suspension is sitting.

Charger, looking real good man... lets see some buss bars

[Charger]

Go the buzz bars drilled for the battery terminals.

Then pulled the lot out and did some carpetting

Just to tidy up the bits you see

Had to move my charge wire and fuse holder, this is where it comes through now.

Put all the batteries back in, again. Damn this is starting to not be fun anymore, my back really hurts lol!

Bolted up the buzz bars

Connected up the buzz bar charge wire, temporary. It will be drilled and tapped.

Started on these trim panels, still very basic. My jigsaw sucks so the holes aren't perfect.

And took off those crappy fibreglass flared guards which did nothing.

Thanks for looking guys all comments appreciated
