battery move
I like the JEGS unit and I know there are other out there with a similar design. My thought on this is if your going to swap the battery why not relocate it to the back of the truck for some kind of gain, weather it be weight transfer or bling, I was thinking if you remove the hitch I'm sure someone could weld you up a custom tray that uses the factory hitch holes and could remain stealth.

Do not remember if the holder comes with mounting screws.
Sorry, I have no install pics. but Remember I have the powercooler mine is not in the same spot as yours will be. If I remember correctly. The holes might line up with excisting battery tray holes.
I had to move my battery back about 3 inches.
Easy install though from what I remember.

got the blue one in today.. looks GREAT!!!
only thing that SUCKS is that it has their logo etched into the blue finish.
the guy said that i could send it back & have it refinished for $20 or so.. i may do that after WFC i guess..
