Thats cool, after I get all the batteries in this weekend the next step is to put stiffer springs in the rear and upgrade the tires to thicker firewalls to help suport all the weight.

You mean sidewalls?

Hahaha...Its cool we know what you ment.Check out air shocks too.They give you a little bit of adjustment.

I tried looking for some but the only ones I could fine were all OEM spec. I need something a little more stiff.

I'm talking about the one's you can air up with an air hose.Kinda like an air bag but without the tank.

Subscribed...looking like a killer project...how much is all this costing alltogether-> batts, subs, amps, suspension, etc.

Sounds uber expensive

Thanks guys, well as for the cost of everything, about 90% of the money came from selling off all my old equipment. I will have an update today. I am going to start building the two battery trays at work, and then I will be putting in all the batteries this weekend. Pics will be coming later tonight.

Looks like it's going to be a monster setup, very nice.

Can't wait to see it when it's done. What did you previous setup consist of?

 

[Mike465 10+ year member]

Ok guys I built the battery tray after work today so here are some pictures. Hope you enjoy.

How do you like that rack?

I love this saw, it makes cutting metal so easy and fast.

Test fir of each tray befor they are welded together

Both trays together

Starting to weld everything up

Just a few tack welds to to make sure everyting is square before it is all welded up.

Doing the final welding of everything

Trays look good there Mike, I cant wait to hear this either.

Andddd errr...the Alphas were loud folks, by the way. These HWY's and roughly 2x the power is going to be painful to say the least, I cant wait.

And his car TUCKS his tires haha. I rode with him down the road and I thought we jacked his exhaust off the car coming out of a parking lot.

 

[Mike465 10+ year member]

Haha, yeah your right I don't know how to. I had one of the fab guys at the shop weld it for me. I would love to learn how to.

Tomorrow I am going to be installing all the batteries.
