    that's fine... so dual where the stock battery is? I'm good with it, I just want dual batteries, and your kit looks great. if I really wanted to, I'd make a mount for the passenger side, but it's not a big deal

    Thats correct. Dual battery tray for the factory location is what Im currently working on. I appreciate the compliment. I promise you'll like this next one too.

    What size would you recommend for the dual tray in a 15 DCLB TRD Sport?

    @bullaculla make that two trays bro! Too funny I have been messaging @HeliMedic about getting this setup. Thinking about getting this kit and mounting it with either a Switch Pro or NSA Trail Toys module. I'm trying to avoid running a bunch of switches and wires into the cab.

    Also going to run some cables to the back for a couple of extra 12v outlets. What do you think?

    2 Group 35's would work awesome. A group 25 next to a Group 35 is really awesome. The reversed terminals of the 25 allows for a super clean setup... but yes two 35's will work just fine.

    With the Switch Pro setup would you still need the fuse box and circuit breaker shown in your larger kit?

    Nope! Unless you wanted to run something huge. The Switch Pro has overcurrent protection. 7 of the outputs are rated at 18 amps and the 8th is rated at 30 amps.

    Hey Coop! Maybe your truck can be a guinea pig for my switch pro mount if my deal with them pans out?

    ImMrYo Rear view mirror lift bracket. Changed out mud flaps. Salex glove box organizer. OEM Ashtray (cup). AVS Step Shields. 16x8 SCS F5 Matte Jet Black. 265/75 16 Cooper St Maxx. OME Bp-51s. U.S. Offroad Winch Mount (in process) Smittybuilt x20 12k synthetic winch (in process) More....
    So, as I am still awaiting my backordered group 35, I was considering adding the second in preparation for your completed dual battery tray setup. Should I make the second battery a group 25 then?
    I will describe the final setup I need in a PM. Thank you.

    I would. I really like the fact that the terminals sit right across from each other. Here is my design for the dual battery setup with a Group 25/35 combo. When the tray is complete... this is how the kit will come:

    There will, of course, be a tie-down that the relay is mounted to. Also, If you already have a 35/35 combo, don't worry... Ive got a clean design for that as well.
