Make sure your earths are 'SOLID' and there is no paint or rust, or any other crap to effect the connection - that's one of the biggest and most common issues people have!

Just mount it in the tray somewhere?With a Prowest Battery relocation kit. Sits under the original battery tray, kind of inside the RHS bumper/gaurd.It has short cables to the connection block so no more power loss, alternator whine or any other cons assosiated with the Boot kits.
