Battery Relocation Question I need to move my battery to the back, and I was wondering how everyone runs their wires. Do you guys run it through the cab or under the car? The battery will sit in the spare tire spot.

I ran mine through the cab. But i put the battery back under the hood. My car is a daily driver and i kept having issues with the charge. I did it for the weight distribution but it was not worth the problems and not that much weight is move back (about 30 pounds).

I ran mine through the firewall on the passenger side, into the kick panel area, into the rocker, in between the sinner/outer skins through the sail panel area, into the area where the spare tire used to be. & I love run-on sentences!

Thanks guys, It looks like most people run it through the cab.
I wonder what would cause the problems. I have known DD cars to do this with no problems. This is a DD car, but I am not doing this for weight distribution... I need to make room for some goodies.
