  1. Do not currently own
im putting a fuse block, ground bus, battery isolator, and winch contacter under my hood. Most items are going to be in places where they will be attached to the plastic panels. Winch contacter over by the factory ground, ground bus next to the air cleaner, isolator in that little indent behind the factory “tool kit”, fuse block behind the second battery.

How’s everyone doing this? Sheet metal screws right into the plastic seems easiest but may not stay secure? Machine screws with nuts on the back? Double sided tape?

Good question... I have been meaning to ask this myself. I am most concerned about how to secure my second battery. How is everyone holding that down?

Industrial waterproof velcro, it holds perfect and no holes in the plastic.

I have nothing holding mine. It's the mighty max battery and with a little insulation tape it's a very tight fit. After dropping it in for the test fit I realized I should have put something under it to help pull it back out.

Good to know! I have the same battery. Thanks!
