Coupler from Brat industries welded to the clutch gear. None of this build would be possible without Ethan, my brother the welder/fabricator. His skills are off the hook!

Hard to see, but there is a window on the side of the "bell housing" that shows the coupler location.

Front motor mount support, which was originally a side support. The way this is attached to the transmission support and the one front support, it is 100% stabilized.

Our drivetrain location moved just a bit so the front drive line had to be decreased by an inch and the rear driveline increase by an inch. Ethan created a jig that assisted him making the precise mods to the drivelines.

This is what we came up with for battery installation. We wanted to keep the batteries within their respective configurations. A CJ5 doesn't have much empty space laying around and placing all the batteries in the rear was not a good strategy for weight distribution.

This is what we came up with for adding integrity to the side battery boxes. Bolted to the side of the box, we considered the need to remove a module, which this allows without removing the body, and includes a very stable step up. We won't truly know how stable the driving is until it's on the road, but we're very optimistic it will have good driving manners with this configuration.

This is the battery layout with all the wiring connected in its general location. I believe some of this wiring won't be needed due to our very simple build; manual steering, manual brakes, no A/C, no power windows, no heated seats, etc.
https://forum.resolve-ev.com/user/isak, what are your thoughts on what wiring isn't necessary?
