Any chance one of you guys could supply a picture with the red cover off with all the connections?

Thanks a bunch,

Tim

Will do tonight when I get home but it's fairly simple when you actually look at it. I put the 60 amp wire on the side to an 80amp, the ones in the center on the underside went up on the top-side next to the main terminal and the final one went to a 120 amp all the amperage a are printed on both distribution blocks

It's about 50 for the evo x distribution block setup and then whatever you spend on the relocation kit for housing the battery and wires. I had a good bit of double 0/0 ga wire from other projects so I used that to run the power wire thru the cab and then a universal battery tie down from oreillys which was 5 bucks and just drilled holes in the trunk for the rods.

Like I said the 60 amp goes to an 80 which is bottom left in picture then the 2 on the bottom go to the top side one and the one that's left goes to bottom left. At least that's how I did mine.

Is there any documentation of the entire Evo X battery setup. Id like to maintain an all OEM battery relocation if possible.

I cut off the old negative terminal. If memory serves it went from the terminal to a bolt on the drivers side strut tower. I just removed the bit of wire with the terminal itself.

Thank! That's exactly what I just did last night. Now with this setup we don't need to install a circuit breaker do we?

Also where did you guys ground the battery in the trunk? I want to make sure I am using a good ground.

just ordered the the parts from jnz, which was the cheapest i found. In for pics of the way you guys mounted it up to the tower. I'm sure it will be easy to figure out once i get the parts in my hand.

I am curious as to how everybody mounted theirs also. Did you mount the base to the factory battery tray and cut it up? Or did you mount it directly to the chassis? Or did you somehow use the existing studs that the battery tray had and enlarge the holes on the base?

Did you guys use a crush washer and a nut for each of the posts?
