My Bronco 2

Looking at that, doesnt look to hard to put another battery under the hood.

its easy. all you gotta do is put a longer hose on your overflow tank, move it back. to make it fit, you bend the bracket for the cruise thing forward some.

make a battery plate w/ a lip on the radiator side, on that lip i bolted the vacuum canister. but as you can tell, its still high enough that it doesn't hang down to low under the bumper or anything. its easy.

if i remember i'll take a pic of my battery plate when i take this battery out to change it.

I dont have cruise control. But i do have a fuel regulator for when I had fuel injection on it in the way though but thats no biggy.

so for everyone that was reading and saw about my puppy:

he got sick (vomiting and diarreha) over the night, normal for Parvovirus. but since then he has been playful and up and moving around and seems fine. he as not been sick since. so if he doesn't get sick anytime before morning, they are gonna feed him real food and if he can keep it down he will be coming home late tomorrow or friday morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad to hear that he is doing better




How did you isolate the two batteries?

 

[4.0B2]

I don't right now.. Think I'm gonna get a battery isolator box for it tho. Like a RV runs

I got one for my dual battry setup at princess aut. I dunno if you have them there.... Also I it's isolated properly it shouldn't drag eithe. Battry down

 

[4.0B2]

i know, but i don't have anything isolating either of mine, not yet. i will before i put another battery in

its not a perfect paint job... its a semi paint shop that does mostly fleet trucks, they want cheap jobs so the filters and all aint the best in the shop. we knew it wouldn't be perfect. the paint booth aint the best. hopefully its about to get revamped tho.

so, i'm checking on some belltech 6400 like shackles for the rear. wanna get rid of my add a leaf, i gotta see what i'm gonna have to do to make my rear level after i get the new coils up front.. hopefully just use the blocks and shackles, and make it a smoother ride.

might look into some 63's... idk yet
