I got my RAM lights this week. And i was just wondering if those of you that have them on their rigs could help me brainstorm ideas on how to mount the battery onto the body. Im running the stock setup with the 9V (for now at least).

Any pics or tips on how you did it will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

with that big long pigtail on there, I would velcro it to the chassis and put some velcro on the inside of the body to keep it under control when off the truck, I hot glued all the wires on the inside of my bruiser body and ran a long pigtail to a plug so I can remove the body, and mounted the battery on the chassis to keep the weight down lower

.......I will try to get some pics of it

Hey thanks. I was thinking maybe that. Or i had the idea of building a scale looking tool box in the bed with a hinged opening to get to the battery for somewhat of a cool look. But not set in stone on what im doing yet. And before i get flamed, yeah i searched.

Just put double sided tape on there if you get it on there good it will never come off.

You know, batteries lose their power, right?

I vote velcro

I mounted the lights to a light bar that is removeable with two r clips, then traced the wires into the chassis to a plug, Radio Shack, then to a switch. From there they went into another plug and on to a set of cordless phone batteries. Easy rechargeable and removable.
