Battery mounting area

[Grommit327]

So I'm in the process of fixing a bunch of crap on my truck that's messed up. One of the things is where the battery mounts on the inner fender. When you do a swap on a Taco you have to trim a bit of the inner fender out for the steering box and after time it has started collapsing under the weight of the battery. I also switched out batteries awhile ago to a bigger odyssey. Any ideas on where to mount it or how to strengthen up the inner fender to hold it? I would like to mount it in the bed but am worried that would be too far of a run with the positive cable...not to mention if I had to run a winch also at some point. I will take some pics tonight of it and post them

Cut a hole in the bed and recess the battery down below the level of the bed....

Do you think it's pushing it as far as battery cable length? Probably looking at a 8-10ft run from the postive terminal to a junction post

1/0 or 2/0 cable and you will be fine.. Both my batteries are in the tail of my rig :awesomework:
