Question 2) Other than me being a little bit of a loon do you think it'll look ok and work well?

I'd think there would be plenty of room for OBA(Viar tank+pump) and a battery box from Summit or the like. I'm really interested in that project!

I'll keep you posted. So far we have the aluminum for the box and will use the factory skid plate as armor. I can slide one Optima Blue Top under there on it's side and still stuff the air tank from the 18 wheeler in there also. The only big issues now are time (God only knows), money (Friday) and finding a way to run the cables. I have 35 feet of 1 gauge welding lead that I think I can use as a cable but am unsure if it'll work... then there is the switching to charge both batteries...... crap this is going to be a pain to get done.

I swear when I'm done with this thing I have to find a way up there so we can do some wheeling.

lol!!!

Have you looked up battery isolators yet? I think this is the one I was looking at a while back, but can't remember. It's pretty slick and I think it's all automatic:

The welding cable should be the way to go because of it's multple strands promotes lower resistance. If you were really slick, you could run the cables up thru the passenger frame rail!!!

I hear ya on the ol' time/money thing!!

Come on up man!! We got lots of trails to play on!!
