well I recommend going to your local autozone and getting a battery tie down kit (like 10 bucks tops) and they battery will never even think of moving, heres a picture of mine.

haha thanks again for the fuse box, its awesome, yes I got it from CT and painted it, you read it like a book, im thinking eventually I should maybe get a bunch of stuff powdercoated, it would be one of the things getting done.
