Justin, stinger connector????

Thats a pretty clean relocation setup meng. You should consider covering up the top posts since you are using the side posts though. I'd also run a fuse up front in the engine bay.

Yup, stinger connecter, found it at an audio shop.

I cover the tops with the plastic caps that come with the battery. Also, I have a different setup now. I have a breaker in the back and it splits into fuses in the front which includes the starter and the alternator.

1 question how did you hold the fuse boxes down?

i did mine close to that too. Not trying to thread jack here





Please dont mind the shop rag under the battery its only temporary

Good deal. Yeah I use a c/b at the battery end on mine too. Adding one on the engine bay end has been on my to-do list for a while.

for wire you can use welding cable from tractor supply

I used welding cable too lol.
