    Dual battery

    Obviously another 4x4 battery would not fit next to a 4.5 engine, so my darling hubby decided it wouldnt let it beat him.. He made a battery tray to fit a 6cyl car battery. Not much modification to the engine bay, and DA-DA.... a second battery to run my winch ect......at 620 cranking amps, it should do the job.
    Now to ask Mr Google about wiring and Katrol is ready to recover Qs....
    ( well, not quite. Still need winch cradle and fit...)

    Passenger side







    Homemade battery tray, now painted




    Like a bum in a bucket

    Lucky Kat! What do you need a winch for? I didn't think GUs got stuck!

    ps. the second battery will work better if connected ;-)

    Nice truck Kat. Looks like you get to do the decorating on a clean nissan christmas tree. I used to worry about scratches but i now see them the same way i see scares. They all tell a story.

    Nice rig Kat.
    I was the same, but now the scrapes and dings all add to the charm.
    Once that first one is done and dusted, you will more so enjoy the ride rather than worry about them.
    Like the dual battery setup. So in the first pic, is that a gas converter at the back of the motor?

    Cheers,
