I marked the location of the battery posts since I can't really get above them to look when I do the cable hookup. I didn't buy the 1/0 welding cable until I got the batteries into position so I could measure how much I need. Going to run the positive over into the battery compartment nearby and the negative is going to be bolted to the frame using the same hole that the right threaded rod is attached to. At the top of those threaded rods there is a piece of the 1.5" angle about 2" long. A hole in each side. The angle is bolted to the frame and then the rod comes through. I put nylock nuts on both ends. And I put regular nuts on the insides of both ends to lock it tight. I didn't want the rack to be able to slide on the rod in a bump. And I didn't want the rod to slide up in the top bracket on a large bump.
