It was a pain in the butt to me every time I was throwing a newly charged battery in my baja 5t. The straps got in the way, then when I was ready to strap them in, I had to fish them through and around the chassis rails. Basically a pain. I had some pieces from an old converson kit laying around. So I built this very easy and handy new battery strap. So much easier. Do it. It works.
