Yes. The website is not ready yet. I really hope to have it up and running today!

For right now, this thread and the Facebook page will have all the info that the website will eventually have.

Nice looking products. I wish you well in your venture. Are you showing at the Expo? If not, you should have someone show your stuff, even informally.

 

[Off-Grid Engineering]

Thank you very much!

I wouldn't miss Expo for the world. I'll be there but I won't be an official vendor. I will, however, have plenty of my products and would love to talk to some folks there!

Can you do something with Nissan Xterras? I'd definitely be interested in getting a dual batter installed on mine if you do.

I'm almost positive that would also work on 3rd gen trucks as well. That's the spot where I put my compressor and the mounting plate looks identical.

I definitely have plans for an Xterra tray. It may be a few weeks though. Im swamped with a few other designs. Don't worry.... I won't forget the Nissan guys!

That would be awesome if it fit! I should have 3rd Gen in my hands by next week... I will definitely do some fit testing and let you all know.

This is what that spot looks like BTW (just ignore that compressor in the way):

Since you'll be looking at a 3rd gen, I'd be really interested in a dual battery tray in the stock location. I'm pretty sure it's a tighter fit than the 2nd gen, but I think it'll still work. I'm cool working up my own fab if I must, but I'd gladly pay for something that got the job done as cleanly as the one you've posted above.

Oh wow. It does look like it might fit. I will be able to check for sure on Wednesday. If it doesnt fit, Im sure it would only be a minor revisions to make it work. Thanks for the pic!

I will also be checking in to the stock location for you. Im sure I will have something that fits there very soon!

Alright everybody, here it is. The OFF-GRID ENGINEERING Dual Battery System for the 2nd Gen Tacoma (with ATRAC).

Keep in mind that although I do not have trays available for other models yet... the wiring kit is available separately with custom cables made to your specifications. Give me lengths and I do the rest! This will fit any vehicle with custom lengths!

Here is what you get:

-Battery Tray made exclusively for the 2nd Generation Toyota Tacoma. Designed to mounted on the passenger side fender. Cut via water jet out of 5052 1/4" aluminum w/ TIG welded leg.

-Exclusive OGE Tie Down, also 1/4" 5052 aluminum

-Blue Sea ML-ACR, 500 amp, voltage sensing relay w/ pre-wired harness and in-cab switch

-2 AWG cables. High strand count, super flexible, made in USA. Plenty of length to get the job done! They are pre-terminated on one end with aviation grade lugs that are hydraulically crimped. They are finished with Techflex sheathing and 3M, marine-grade, adhesive lined heat shrink. These cables can be pre-terminated on both ends if you give me lengths!!

-Four Mil-Spec terminals

-Four aviation grade lugs

-Five female connectors for in-cab switch.

-All necessary mounting hardware, extra heat shrink, and zip ties!

I paid ridiculous attention to detail building this. You will not find a more inclusive or high quality kit anywhere! I promise!

Price: Introductory for TacomaWorld and ExPo members:

$599.00 for full kit
$459.00 for wiring kit only (everything minus tray) (you pick the lengths... reasonable lengths please)
$149.00 for tray only

I like it! You can't go wrong with a Blue Sea Systems ARC at the heart of the system.

Do you have any plans to build a tray for the Ford F250 Super Duty truck, i.e. a 2004 with the V10 Triton engine? I'm mounting a winch on mine now, but so far I haven't found a location under the hood big enough to mount a second battery.

Awesome! I'll definitely be wanting one
