Oh no... I meant if you wanted a 2nd battery the tray would have to be modified.

Technically, but you will not have to relearned. The firewall dies have "3" layers but it only requires 1 measurement because you will feed right into other layers using the first hole as a guide. 2 layers are actual punched together...

The first cut was hard, but I'm the only one in my area who is running a setup like this, but I'm very happy with it...

That takes a lot of balls of to do a mod that radical.

Whats the view like from the passenger seat? Does that snorkel filter obstruct the view much?

Yea, but I figured if I'm gonna drive it I might as well enjoy it... Not bad from passenger side either, my wife is 5' tall and says the field of view is fine...
