The battery box was installed in the vehicle with a helper in about an hour. This involved removing the plastic cargo tray above the spare tire then marking and drilling holes in the floor of the vehicle. The box base was then bolted through the floor. Steel flat bar was used on the underside of the vehicle to distribute the load of the box over a wider area. I’m considering changing the flat bar to angle iron to allow me to weld the angle iron to the frame of the vehicle.
Note: The gas springs are unattached at this point because the battery weight has not yet been added to the vehicle.
