Battery relocation?
Does any one know it it is possible to mount the battery where the air cleaner box is? Thinking of moving my BHAF down closer to the front end to get more and cooler air.

Yes, it is possible. You'll most likely need some longer battery cables as well.

I am relocating mine in a custom mount under the passengers side of the bed.

I used 2 ott welding cable and solder new ends on. I also changed to the military style battery terminal ends.
