87 STEPPER · 03-06-2003, 07:24 PM

Damnnn!! That's almost what the battery cost

LOHRTBT · 03-06-2003, 07:49 PM

Yeah the Billet one is $75.

OUCH!

79BIG10 · 03-06-2003, 09:09 PM

OUCH!!! That is expensive!! I like my bungee cord alot better than that for the price for sure.

LOHRTBT · 03-06-2003, 09:56 PM

bungee cord lmao

79BIG10 · 03-06-2003, 09:58 PM

Hey last time I went curb hopping (street version of off roading

) the battery came out of the tray and was hanging barely by the cables. I was lucky that it didn't spill out and was in one piece. Since then a bungee cord works great

Ric83 · 03-07-2003, 12:59 AM

That billet box is way too sweet!!
