Hey Diggs,it's in the far back corner by the driver side rear seat.Right now it's in a marine batt box.Had the strap run through the carpet(not good enough)for a while.Just added some self-tapps with big fender washers to hold it down.Got lucky with one of the self tapps,ran right through the strap. One day I'll come up with a heavier-duty mount,and post pics.Was thinking mabe a metal strap over the whole thing or something. |
