  1. Begin by disconnecting and removing the stock battery and tray from under hood. Looks better already, doesn't it?
    2. 
        
  2. Test fit the battery in the new Moroso box. There must be enough room on the sides for the hold down bolts also.
    3. 
        
  3. Raise car and support on jack stands.
    4. 
        
  4. Remove all carpet/sound deadener from hatch area on passenger side behind rear axle.
    5. 
        
  5. Drop gas tank approximately 1 foot on passenger side so that you can't drill a hole in the top of it while mounting the battery box. This is also needed to gain access to the nuts that will secure the entire battery box to the floor.
    6. 
        
  6. Position the Moroso battery box as desired and drill two holes through the box and floor. Caution: Do not drill through the gas tank! Also, note that depending on where the box is located, the mounting holes might be positioned over frame rails or other inaccessible areas. Verify where the drill will come out the floor under the car. Remember that there are large fender washers that must fit over the hold down bolts so the hole can't be too close to anything. Leave enough room for the battery to fit between the hold down bolts.
    7. 
        
  7. With the holes drilled, insert the hold down bolts through the holes and through the battery box. Install the fender washers and nuts under the floor to secure the bolts.Make sure that the bolts don't sit so high that they interfere with the battery box lid.
    8. 
        
  8.  Install the battery in the box and secure with the cross plate and hold down bolts.
    9.
