2nd Gen OR Second Battery Mount

Thanks for the update @Iggy , I'm not running hood struts, but was thinking about adding them. Are they a no go with the battery in the passenger side corner?

I could forgo the struts if that's the case.

 

I also left the hood prop despite having the redline struts....

 

I have the redline struts too. Just thinking of a slight redesign of the tiedown, but it might not work with the hood struts. I’ll keep it the same.

 

I don't know what the hood struts are, so if it's an aftermarket thing, nope don't have it!

 

Id love to have just the bottom plate only so i can use it to mount my huge viair compressor. How much for that if u can?

 

ftfy

want to get on the list?

 

Ftfy?????

Depending on the price for just the lower plate only. I cant justify $175 to hold my compressor

 

ftfy.....fixed that for you.... send him a pm this thread is for the whole tray, lets not get sidetracked or confused about whats going on here

 

TBH, I had to google it... I better catch up on the internet lingo if I wanna join in on the fun that is the Tacoma World Forum

 

Just checking in with everyone, and @Iggy especially. Gotta keep this alive #worththewait

 

Still down, but getting tight on time. Will have to bail and make my own soon to have my dual battery system ready for a trip at the end of May.

 

Yeah, First Thursday of June I'm picking up my Habitat. Really want done before I head out for it. Everything is waiting in a pile in the garage to install. Two trips scheduled for the next couple weekends after, including the NW Overland rally. Hope it all works out!

 

Hi Guys,

I'm working on these right now. I redesigned the tray to be one piece as opposed to two and welded. I'll be getting some quotes with powdercoat.

I'll try and wrap this up this week.

Thanks!

 

I've been watching this and I'd be in for one too.

 

@Iggy You hear back on any of the quotes you had out last week?

 

Nothing yet! I'll

 

Question in the meantime - when you say it's designed for the optima group 27 batteries, will most other group 27 batteries fit? Or, are the Optima's that seem to be a little shorter than other manufacturers required because of hood clearance?

Thanks!

 

@Iggy You hear back from anyone last week?

 

I bet he heard back from a lot of camper customers since they are now taking preorders

 

I'm thinking I better get that optima on the charger... it's sad just sitting there in the garage with no place under the hood of the Taco yet... @Iggy , maybe you can cheer it up with some good news?? (other than your awesome new camper is selling like hotcakes )
