can i get a few pics of your relocated battery trays? trying to get an idea what to do with mine.

I put mine in the back of the vehicle. I couldnt come up with anywhere practical in the engine bay either on the left or the right of the 2F. I dont imagine you want a pic of my battery mounted in the rear do you?

battary is on the left adam not the right. gee's man.

might be different for BJ vs FJ..

I have two trays on each side, but I think i'll need to move the Aux one (on the drivers side) when installing the turbo.

I'm thinking the best bet is probably where Matt put his, in the back on the wheel wells.

I'll post you a pic of mine up tomorrow before we moved it into the back, it can be done but space is tight. Basically you have to squeeze it up to the brake booster. i also turned my battery around so there was no risk of shorting the live terminal out on the booster it's self as yes it's that close.

A special battery tray was custom built with one leg to the chassis and 2 tabs bolting through the inner flare at each end of the battery tray nothing fancy.

Mine.

It's a LHD truck tho.

Holy crap Biff, talk about SHOEHORN! Looks like a tight fit. I'd hate to have to do any work on the exhaust manifolds. How does she go?

Posted: **Thu Sep 28, 2006 3:34 pm**

looks good

Posted: **Fri Sep 29, 2006 1:38 am**

fast. Very fast.

pushing 200 HP and the fit's not that tight. There's some lag at the low end now, probably due to running 3.70s with 35" tires.

there's pleanty of clearance between the frame and the manifolds.

Here's mine! It's a LHD BJ40.
You can get the idea...
