I was coming home from school yesterday and went to stop, and i pushed the brake pedal and it went to the floor and the truck kept going. LOL Come to find out, my tire has rubbed a hole in brake line. I gota order two new brake lines monday. Since ive got it in the shop, i can go ahead and work on the battery box. I figured id give yall an update on the truck and pics will posted today of the battery box.

Well i started on my battery box today. Its big enough to add 1 d3100 on each end and i can also take the 2 little batteries out and put 2 more d3100 there. All i got left is the front and top. Im gona make the top lift up so i can access the batteries. Im gona fiberglass it and paint it black. What yall think about it.
