Dual C&R transmission coolers are mounted just behind the tires with the air conditioning condenser resting above the 62-gallon fuel cell. Al had the condenser moved to the rear in order to allow the front radiator better breathing room. Optima Red Top Batteries are tucked in just behind the spare tires next to a few bottles of emergency oil. The retractable billet aluminum light bar is holding four Vision X HID lights.
