you can mount the battery a couple of places....either to the frame rails,
or in the bed...Bernd mounted his battery his tool box....it's a really nice
setup...

IF you do decide to mount it to the frame rail, I recommend only using an
Optima battery....they are the only batteries that I know of that can be
mounted on their side.
