Went with running the battery cables from rear cargo area to engine bar thru frame. Ran two 1/0 wires sleeved in 5/8 heater hose
Unknown pain in the a$$ job this became. The unibody and dog house were two separate pieces. Had to cut an access hole in floor and cut away some metal so we could feed it from one to the other.
Flipped back up part of the cut out. Will cover with a piece of sheet metal and rtv
Where the lines came up in cargo area
Engine bay wired up. Extra wire ran for future 2nd battery

It is really close. Big milestone tonight. I got all the wiring done and exhaust done. Started it for the first time in almost 2 years. I had a little problem with the frame ground but found it a little loose.
Pass side start
No pics from that to full y pipe.
anti plug fowler cut in half became my new weld in bung.
This connects to y pipe with a full clamp so it can come off. I won't have to drop the cross member to get the exhaust out.
And there was 3 different lengths of o2 sensor wires. I got the longest 24" long. Had plenty of room and had to put a loop in it to keep it off the pipes.

Waiting on my conversion joint for the rear drive shaft at the 14 bolt. It should be in tomorrow. Then that will go in. Still need to build the front shaft but will be able to move it under its own power. I have the hard lines for the rear breaks but need to do the front. Then paint and exo. Then I will do shocks so I can get the right size for shocks/bumps at ride height. Looking good for spring unveiling.

Thanks. looking forward to it.
Made an executive decision and cut the back of the cage off. Didn't like it and it stuck to far off the body.
I got it tighter to the body and actually have more room to open the hatch now. Shortened the bar behind the rear doors and got the bar to follow the body line better. Just have the front end and bumper and the cross bars on the roof and it's done. [emoji2]
