5-Ton battery relocate and secret battery shut off
I purchased a 5-ton battery relocation kit from Andy, a fellow SS member. It came in today-very complete right down to the battery cables. Came on a skid well protected and it looks great-brand honkin new. Andy delivered as promised.
Its a nice assembly that gets the batteries and potential gasses outside of the cab where they belong. Smoking cigars while sitting on a bunch of batteries is never a good idea.
I really like the way these look on these trucks. Opening up the seat storage is nice too. Who would ever know to look under the seat for stuff to steal.
Along with this kit, I have purchased battery shut off switches from Erik. I will locate this shut off in a secret spot-when off. This in combination with the lockable battery door means I will have much greater security with my truck and stuff.
The old step/tool box that is coming of the 5-ton will be mounted on my M36A3-not certain which side, but it will make a nice addition to fill in the big gap in front of rear tires.
I will post pictures when I get it done.

What about the batteries being more exposed to the cold?

Batteries outside of cab should be no worry-cab mounted batteries are unusual for any vehicle. Will post progress pictures.
This item is a good score-she will look great on my truck. The space beneath the seat will be a great place to carry my dog (just kidding)!

Nice idea! Looking forward to the progress photos. Doesn't look like your Dog wants to venture too far off the couch in that photo.

Thanks for the compliment on the box-I just bought it-didnt design or build it. The shiny piece behind the box is a HEPA filter for the food process industry. We manufacture equipment for large food companies here. Most of what we design/build is stainless steel. See attached pictures.
We build really neat stuff-its very mechanical. I believe thats why I like MV stuff-its mechanical.
Enjoy the pics!
