UK spec 2008 Hilux HL3 Invincible - Engine Bay 2nd battery carrier

[Defenderofdevon]

Afternoon all. I hope someone can shed some light on this issue.

I have a 2008 UK spec Hilux HL3 Invincible and need to get a 2nd battery into the engine bay to power an Engel fridge in the tub via a split charge. It would seem that the space exists in the engine bay (over the wheel arch) and there are captive nut fixings but the actual carrier is not installed. The Toyota main dealer is clueless and here in the UK everyone seems to offer Land Rover carriers but nothing for a Hilux?

I would be grateful for anyone's wisdom? ARB evidently do one but I am still awaiting a reply from Arbil (UK distributor) and am not holding my breath.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

A picture of your engine bay might help the Yanks get a better idea on how to help. I'm not familiar with your model truck.

I am using the dirty parts battery tray, not sure how it would work for the Hilux though.

Good work, many thanks. The piranha PDF is just what I needed. I have found a good tray from www.devon4x4.com for £40 and with a bit of fettling a la piranha should be perfect. Thanks again. Would buy a AU one but once I have paid tax and shipping its even more expensive.
Thanks again
