Sweet dual battery setup. I can't believe no one produces a manufactured battery tray to hold batteries in that location. All that i've seen are custom jobs. Clean rig, very utilitarian.

Hey there twin:victory: Really clean dual battery setup. Do you have the part numbers or websites to them. I'm way over my draw limit with all of these lights and need some more go-go juice. Trucks looking good!!!

Thanks CYi5!

Hi OldSven! I like your truck. I appreciate the compliment on the dual batteries. I've got a whole thread dedicated to it around here somewhere. I built my own tray and tie-down and had to make a little room in the engine bay but it was a fun project. I dont have the part numbers anymore but I believe I purchased their TJ kit. Here is the company's contact info. Talk to Stan. They have some of the best customer service I have ever encountered!

Thanks for the compliments guys. The dual battery setup was actually featured in this past winter's issue of Overland Journal. Sorry I didnt say anything then.

Anyways, just threw new KM2's on her... check it out! Oh yeah, ordered some Demello bolt-on sliders too. Should be here soon!
