You mean batteries in the bed like this??..

 

Whats with the cleaning stuff in the second pic, do you clean your trucks whenever you get somewhere all the time?

 

yehhhh but for anybody that doesnt have a bed cover or likes to use their bed... those would get in the way...the best way would prob to throw the batteries in a tool box in the bed..... just think of all the space under the hood

 

Thats a good friend of mines 2wd drag truck that he recently just sold.Yes,to answer your question there is ALWAYS a box of detailing stuff in the bed of my truck at all times,even in the winter months.We were at a local show and he put that in the bed when we went walking.That truck when it was raced went 11.20 @ 124mph on DOT slicks with a stock bottom end,no aftermarket cam,ported head,twins and a full tilt Suncoast auto.

As for the detailing obsession...
You probably have never seen my 98 12v at a show but if you did you would remember it.Many here have seen it in person and they can vouch for the attention to detail I put into my daily driver.When show season closed last year I added 6 more pieces of hardware for my basement with my 220k daily driver.I enjoy showing my truck as much as I do driving it and its even more fun slipping into a show somewhere the trailer queens go and beat them with a truck that see daily abuse.So yes,I ALWAYS have detail items in my bed and at times tsome of my club members say it resembles a isle at Autozone.

Those batteries and the fuel cell were moved there for one purpose,weight transfer to hook the truck when he launched it.They were not moved there for room under the hood,although now that I think about it that could also have been a reason.If you would have ever seen the twins on the truck you would understand.

 

You did not say what size tires you have.
I would put something bigger than what you have, higher the better.

 

they are 235/85/16's I dont really want to change sizes too much due to the availability of these tires when i pull trailers.
