    I figured I'd take a pic after work. But of course - now it's dark. :rolleyes: So I'll have to do it tomorrow.

    I work with a couple creative fabricators and they recommended "softening" the edges of this stainless battery cage to reduce a chance of cutting a finger. This cage is made of fairly thick material, but thin stainless steel is famous for cutting your hands. So I rubbed the edges aggressively with a medium Scotchbrite pad which did take away the sharp. then I gave the flat surfaces a "fine brushed" look by going in one direction (not circular, not diagonally) until it has a uniform look. This also removed the weld discoloration spots. Probably never tell in a couple months and some road dirt, but it only took 10 minutes.

    Bottom Line: Nice addition to my Tacoma, and it fits just fine.

    I don't believe we have your information yet, is that correct? I don't show an open or paid invoice. Shoot over your info per the instructions in the OP and we will get you set up and have it ready for you tomorrow.

    Everyone else puts the aux fuse block where I've already got my ARB air compressor. So when I install a fuse block I'm gonna have to install it to the lid of the factory fuse box.

    But yeah - looks pretty cluttered without it.

    Why bother with an extra battery if you're not running a bunch of extra accessories? :D

    Got my tray and battery installed this afternoon. For the TRD supercharger guys, I recommend getting some 1/4" fuel line for use as a chafe guard on the intercooler hoses.
