Wow! 40 bucks? So this plus a moroso box equals 300 bucks for a battery relocation? That's crazy!

I wish we could have kept the price as it was originally but after adding up our expense we were barely making enough profit to justify our time spent on the labor to make the cables with no profit on the parts at all... We also had no room to offer our normal dealer or military discounts.

This kit is a very nice kit that is as "bolt in" as it will get. Not only are you paying for the cable, lugs, switch, etc but you are also paying for all the time you will save vs. making your own kit.

We are working hard to keep up with the orders we already have and within a week or two we will have some custom heat shrink on the ends of the cable with our Tick logo. Little things like this have made the price go up, but the end result will be a nicer, more finished kit.

The ground wire for the pass side should install to the block in the same location that the factory ground cable went using the factory bolt. On the chassis side, we include a nut which will attach the cable to the sway bar mount. There is a mount that bolts to the chassis which the sway bar would then bolt to. On one of those mounting bolts there should be enough bolt sticking through the bracket to simply use the supplied nut to attach our cable.

If you don't have a sway bar, you probably removed those brackets as well. Basically, you can mount your ground cables from the block to the chassis anywhere, just be sure the mounting points are free of paint.

Any updates? Any install experience?

Looking to relocate my battery, its really just a street car and im wanting to relocate to clean up the engine bay even more. Would i be able to use this kit without the switch, with the BMR relo tray?

I read this whole thread, does this kit work with the box mounted in the t-top well without modification?

On your page it says for use only with dry cell batteries. Why is that? I'm wanting to relocate to the spare tire well but I don't want the kill switch near the taillights. I'd like to put it down at the license plate like a few others I've seen.
