after a long day's work, i finally (almost) got it done. the only thing i have left is to wire up the blue-sea fuse box, but it's not a pressing issue. i forgot to order some terminals, so i'll have to make a few short wires soon. now for the few pics i took:

negative side



whole set-up

Lookin good Ian. I like that set up. Are you gonna try to seal up that box where the wires come thru? Water could be an issue if it gets in there.

thanks guys!

zach- the materials i used are all highly corrosion resistant: stainless steel fasteners, cres aluminum, tin-plated copper. the bolts i used to hold the bar down are nylon, with fipg to seal the holes, and there are drain holes on the "downhill" side. not too worried about water getting in. if i have water higher than those big holes, it's also above the battery and intake, and i think i'd have bigger problems ... (i didn't get into all my details before, so there they are)

Nice work Ian! That came out great! That makes me think that I could use one of those because of all the positive wires I have attached to the battery from stereo equipment and lights....Great job

thanks! it works well, but i'm watching it to see if there are any trouble areas with rubbing

up next:
> e-fan
> aux fuse box
> trailer/wiring

i think that's manageable before rc. i really would like to get the roof repaired before then, but realistically, i don't think i'll have the time. we'll see...

yyeeeah, you'll be able to do the bars themselves, or the box layout, or the wires. if you pre-fab most of the stuff, it won't take too long to put in
