But they aren't small like the Odyssey batteries.

but if its in the trunk then it really doesnt matter how big the battery is
i needed a new battery for my red r/t but once i moved the battery to the trunk i realized that i could use the brand new battery that i kept out of my dakota....

i dont have a spare tire or the cover for the spare so size doesnt matter anyways......atleast thats what she said.....
i guess maybe i should get a smaller battery....i mean, that would be about 3 or 4 lbs knocked off and probally about 5 seconds in the 1/4 mile[X(]

ok finally put the battery in the trunk. gotta get some pics up. pretty easy if you have ever installed an amp. the hardest part was deciding how to mount the fuse/relay block under the hood.now for the 3.0 CAI. think i am gonna install an igloo lunch/cooler in the trunk for a cleaner lookin battery tray. so sweet lookin under the hood now!
