    Installed mine today. Interestingly, the handle doesn't fit under the OEM tie-down. I had to install with the handle on top of the tie-down. Is that normal? :confused:

    Agree and agree. After you pointed that out, I didn't even try to go over it.

    The 24F fits great in both locations. I will buy Off-Grid Engineering primary mount next and then the battery isolator. Doing it a little at a time to stay in budget. @HeliMedic has a great mount and the wiring was perfect. Soon as I have the funds I will do the rest of it.

    Sorry. Thought my description was somewhat self-explanatory.

    Thanks, guys. While not thrilled with the arrangement, I'm happy to hear it's somewhat "normal."

    If you look at the way the top of the battery is shaped with a notch for the hold down and the handle is not it seems like that is the way it is intended to be installed

    I noticed that too. I guess a longer rod could be acquired if it bothers anyone.

    This thing is a cranking beast!

    That would me, good sir.
    I engineer and manufacture complete battery systems, battery trays, and DC power solutions for Toyota trucks :cheers:

    I do a ton of custom work too. Check me out at www.**************

    Very nice work Glenn! And I appreciate the shoutout.

    For anyone wondering why the tiedown isn't centered... the tray was designed for a Group 35 battery which is much smaller. Thanks to Glenn, we now know that a Group 24 will fit in that location utilizing my tray.

    That looks fantastic!! I have the same battery cage and will be doing the same setup. Can I ask you what kind of terminals you have? Was it hard to do? Looking to do same as well and if you have any info it would be much appreciated. Thank you
