The battery is in the back. just not enough room under there to maintain the factory JK mount.

It drives really smooth, I'll post some more videos of it runing down the road at 60mph.

Is it just my bad eyesight... or are all of the gauges/panels not wired up? I don't see any gauges moving nor do I see power to the stereo... just curious. Sounds amazing though! I'm interested to see a vid of it running down the highway haha!

I hit play and once it started moving on its own power all I did was smile. Absolutely awesome! I would love to see smoke coming from the stack.

Congratulations to the whole crew of people that put in the time and effort to make this monster what it is.

Can't wait to see it climb over a mountain.

What speed were you at towards the end of the video? And what is your next step besides getting the instruments all working in unison?

Not a thing wrong with your eye sight. the gauges that are in there are obviously the factory JK ones. They will be replaced with a custom cluster of Autometer gauges. The stereo as well wasn't powered up at this time as it was just a shake down run.

You can see in the one video that we had it up to 60. The plan right now first off is make it safe for EJS and work on creature comforts with the remaning time we have left. By safe I mean close in the fire wall and close the tunnel in over the transmission.
