Ok so when i put in my 10 inch Edelbrock filter I removed the factory Air box leaving enough room to add a battery, I will take pictures of it tomorrow, but i custom fab the tray and mounts using from 18G sheet metal and angle metal to form the side rails then used an Isolator to separate the batteries current from combining.

Looks pretty good. Do you have any plans for modifications?

I am not sure yet. I know I will be putting a CAI on it soon, exhaust(still undecided). Billet style grill, and perhaps down the road a cowl style hood. Suspension wise, probably nothing radical. I have been looking at pics of the durango's on here trying to get ideas. Making those ideas a reality, takes money..lol
and srch4me, if you create a free account on photobucket, upload a picture, then click edit...it's like a picture overlay program..some of the pictures are pretty neat...we have a clock tower I took a picture of. My town is called Berne, it is a sister city to Bern, Switzerland. They have a clock tower, this town thought they needed one to..mostly to prevent the state from making a 4 lane from Fort Wayne to Richmond. Now if they want to do it still, they will have to bypass Berne..

I am using OBDII software with a OBDII converter
http://www.bb-elec.com/product_family.asp?FamilyId=222
Software I had to make a few configuration changes so I just wrote a gauge program that takes the percentage values and displays them out as Digital Dial format. I can also change it to Digital LCD format too.
