While trying to find the problem with the fuel pump, I ran into this mess of wires when trying to track down circuits.. it was a mess! So I took the battery out, and found an even bigger mess under the battery tray, So I decided to start redoing under the hood....
After removing the battery tray and cleaning up the area around the battery... one more coat of rust kill then prep for paint...

Battery tray after restore... I painted it with bedliner stuff.... came out pretty nice... I will under coat the area under the tray, and drill a few drain holes under it too... as the water collects and stands in the frame rail under it....
