Hey! I know this is a topic people are curious about, whether you just want to know where these batteries are or you want to run leads to power your accessories. Simply put, both of them are under the rear seats. I've attached a photo below. The hybrid battery takes up most of the room (it's smaller than I thought it would be) and the starter battery is right next to it (I originally thought it didn't have one and used the hybrid battery).

Installed these engine and trans skids from OKX a couple months ago and really like them so far. I live in a very salty environment so aluminium was a necessity and I want to keep the truck light so the weight savings is a plus. The only thing I was slightly worried about was the strength since I actually wheel my truck and after using them I'm very impressed. They gusset the back of the plate a lot for strength and it seems to work since I plowed into a rock after gunning it while almost getting stuck in mud and all it left was a nice black mark across the plate. Keep in mind this felt like a car crash on the inside and the whole truck bounced up. Their pricing is also great especially for a handmade product in a smaller shop. One of the cheapest alu plates on the market. Also come with access ports for oil changes which I just used for the first time. Overall couldn't be happier with these and love supporting such a cool busines
