Ugh. So despite making the battery box as low and short as I could it's simply going to interfere with the nose of the trailer on anything, but the flattest of terrain. And since this thing is 4 wheel drive, I expect it to see its fair share of undulating terrain. So I have to figure out another plan. Here's what I'm dealing with....
Space under the hood is limited. Keep in mind there's a motor and trans in the middle.
This is the stuff that needs to find a home in the truck.
The speaker was intended to go here, under the bench seat.
Battery is just too thick to fit in there so a new battery would likely be needed if I put it here.
I'm still messing around with component placement and I'm sure I'll come up with something decent.....eventually! LOL
