You guys have been reading my mind. I've been thinking of moving
the battery somewhere behind the passenger side of the bed. Can't
decide if I want to run a large ground wire all the way back to
the old battery area or just ground it below the bed. Second thought,
that probably won't work because of exposure. No.1 priority is finding
a good battery hold down box. I've got a tonneau, so it'll hide well.
