I spent an afternoon studying a wrecked 4x4 explorer once trying to figure out how to make it work.. but got distracted.
Squirrel!
Well, a typical CAT5 cable would have a total of eight 24-gauge copper wires. The size of a 24-gauge wire is approximately 400 circular mills. This gives a total cross-sectional area of 3200cmil for the entire bundle of wires, which is equivalent to a 15-gauge wire. Assuming that you would want to use a #1/0 copper wire for your battery cable, which is 133,000cmils, you would need approximately 42 CAT5 cables to properly relocate your battery. Double that if you want to do the same for your ground.
I would suggest straps like these to contain your hunk of wires going from the front to back of the car. Hang them from the roof inside the car along the door frames for an awesome custom look.

This guy gets the thread.
I second that - Scott - the fact that you knew all of that and added a picture to "boot" - gets you one more....
pun intended?

Hahaaa wow this is funny and not just because ive been drinking. I didn't even expect all that in response. You guys are so helpful. Now where is the best place to route the wires? I want a stealth look. Pictures would help.

That'd be really cool unique thing to see.
madmike1157 get on it, your wow factor needs some sprucing!
Would you be able to get the engine low enough in a Fox though? I was thinking you might have to do a complete drivetrain swap out of an AWD vehicle. A transverse mounted engine like a AWD V6 Fusion, or a SHO Taurus if you had the coin. I think a truck 4x4 system might take up too much room.
