You talking about a trunk relocation? I know they make universal install kits, but you'll have to run your own battery cables from the starter/alternator. And of course, properly ventilate the battery.

I used 2 runs of 2gauge direct bury wire, 100 amp battery switch and direct bury splice kit that has a nice brass connection and some heavy duty heat shrink. Cut off the battery ends at stock location use splice kit then route wires and switch. Some people just run the positive full length and ground negative to chassis at original location and near the battery at new placement.

When I relocated mine a few years ago, I ran a positive from the original location through the fender with the hood release cable. I then ran it into the interior through the access port in the driver side kick panel, then along the edge of the interior into the trunk.

Hey guys I know I'm hella late on this but I want to know what you all do about the 120a battery fuse when you relocated your battery. And could I use distribution blocks for the hot wires going to my existing battery location and run 0ga from the d-block to the new location?

- 120amp fuse I left in mine. I believe I ran my wire from the trunk to one of the bolts on the d-block using a ring connector for 0 gauge wire.

Just keep things simple, run the wire to the original terminal source lol.
