    Thats what me and a buddy were thinking about. I know they make winch trays but im not sure if they would work with my body lift and the valence...

    Did a few things to the truck yesterday..

    First i changed my oil.

    Then i noticed my battery terminals were getting worn out so I decided to replace them. I bought some of these connector things so when I run subs or more lights or a winch or whatever I can just slap a ring terminal on and call it good. Turned out really well. Ill probably do the big 3 or big 5 whatever it is soon.

    looks good man. i had a hell of a time getting my cables to reach and stay in those battery terminals. the wires are tight as hell from the body lift.

    They came straight off the wall at your local vatozone lol I dont think I paid more than like 15 bucks for it all.

    And yeah Chris originally I had bought regular connectors but when I put them in the wires there was no way they were gonna reach so I needed to extend them somehow.

    i was just at advance auto, theyve got 36" battery cable with terminals. think i might grab that and solder my existing cable to it, or use some nuts and bolts and see what i can come up with.

    Yeah you could do that too but I just wanted mine to stay as close to factory as possible because I don't know too much about electricity and didn't want to start messing with my main power wires haha
