Don't even try. I've told Heep about the guy getting snapped in the eye with a bunjee. Didn't phase Heep one bit.

Now if you can incorporate a church key into the Fordification key chain, I'd think a lot of guys would want that!

I like the fordification idea. Heap Dual batteries? Is it a diesel?

Doesn't have to be a diesel for dual batteries.

Use one to start the truck or both to run a winch or alternate one for the winch until it runs down then switch to the other...

BTW Heeps got a 460.

460ci. The jell cell (yellow top) runs the Warn winch. I run the crap :eek: out of it and haven't ran it dead yet :D

F.O.R.D. that was only one eye you talked about. Now if you would had said both eyes, well I would had remined myself to step back each time I messed with the battery. :D

You Guys! I'll have to watch you.I was wondering if the same could be done for the accessories? Would i need a bigger alternator? Sorry if this is off topic.

Yes you can run a second battery for extra stuff. You can use the stock alt as long as you don't feel the need to install alot of power sucking accessories (lights, amps, 12v frig for the beer). I run a 65 amp one-wire and have no problem.

If you have some more questions PM me. I don't want to hijack this thread anymore then I already have. :P

Fordifications logo for sure but what size battery? I like to run the big ones that barely fit in the tray. Used be a 27F but they don't make those anymore, now I can't remember what size they call it

Man!, talk about shot down in flames! Not even 1 comment on my idea, and/or sketch! Oh well, time to get out the Dremel, and make my own 1 of a kind battery hold down. :cry: :cry: :cry:
And it would have been so much cooler if it were water jet cut. :dk: :dk:
