First photo shows rear of bed items roughed in and the beginning of wiring runs. At the far right notice a ground terminal strip. A handy item to ground all components in the rear section. The strip is connect directly to battery negative with a 10 gauge lead. All rear component grounds branch out from there.

Second photo shows front motor plate bracket

Third photo is mid plate tab.

Larry, how do you intend to pull the engine when the motor plate is trapped by the forward cage bars?

Looks like with that odd setup you'll be forced to remove the motorplate from the engine to remove & install the engine.

Would be more user friendly to have the motor plate be narrower than the forward engine bars so the engine could be lifted out with the motor plate and accessories still bolted to the engine.
