No more battery upfront, moved to very end of the truck centered under the bed.

Nice! Do you plan on doing anything with the extra space?

Nope, just use the factory batt. tray as a power distribution center like the pic shows. I moved the battery to help move my weight bias towards the rear. Need all the traction help I can get.

Are those extra terminals from the bottom?
Either way a great idea and some awesome fab work

No, those are just the rods the box is suspended from.

Well an extra set of external terminals might be a nice addition in case you need to jump the truck or someone else needs a jump

Clean work - nice way to make your pick up a little closer to a racecar!

I can still use the dist. blocks in the stock battery location as terminals if in an emergency.

Is there some kind of internal skeleton to that box, or is it just sheet metal? I'd worry that those washers would tear through the metal if the ride got rough.
GREAT idea though. I would have to use an ABS box with an exo-skeleton for support because of our winters (rust) but I really dig this.
