Your wife is just hatin' cuz you spent money on a car that she can't even drive. Manual FTW.

The battery weighs 18 lbs!!! less than stock. Braille BC2015 ~ $265

Did you ever finish up the new mount and shield for the ECM with DDM your carbon fiber battery? Or where you building that on your own?

I have been lagging on asking Dave about the status of the battery tray. He has the same battery.

This is my temporary solution as of now, and it's worked great, just fugly:

You'll notice the huge open space that this creates where the stock battery use to fill. I'm considering relocating the coolant reservoir over into it to allow a clearer path for engine temps to escape out of the hood louvers.

Fugly sometimes comes with functionality!lol I think more people would go that route in the south if there was a kit and I think DDM could easily pull it off. 300 bucks for the mount/shield and a battery!

I'll run that by Dave, he already blueprinted a mount, why not?

This has nothing to do with off-roading so further discussion is encouraged here:
