I know i want to add a 2nd battery to the bronco. i seen different setups and decided i like to balence the front end and have one battery per side. here is the drivers side front. i see the over flow / washer will need to be moved but that is easy.

I been lucky and pick up old used bed rails when i see them being tossed. i cut some triangles out so this would bend into a square box. i then welded it together.

I decided i wanted to relocat the over flow and washer tank. this is like the 86 year trucks. i added a cage around the battery as wellthis will really stiffen the battery tray.
