New Landcrusier ABS - where does a dual battery fit ?

thanks Geoff
yes the local arb advised one is on the way, but hadn't seen a kit yet so weren't sure how it would fit, they assume similar to piranha setup.
my last 79 series of course didnt have abs so fitting was a breeze
cheers !

The ARB dual battery kit was supposedly released several weeks ago and details sent to all ARB stores so I am surprised that your local store doesn't have the information.
I installed the 'old' piranha kit (pre-ABS) which was fine - I have the luxury of plenty of room though!

Cheers, Geoff

Same here, however as I was always intending to fit the canopy and 2 boxes under it was not really an issue. One box for the batt and fuse box etc, and one for tools.

As the other lads have said ARB et al are all rushing to solve your problem for you so they can extract your $ from your skyrocket.

am getting 2 custom boxes fitted to new tray, but will be for tools and recovery...

am thinking something recessed under the front of new tray under a hatch, or rear mounted box setup, but will probably get a few more vibrations up the back than nearer the front

thanks

Have you thought about a box under at the rear that runs forward up the middle. That's where I store all my recovery gear as it can get dirty without a problem. Works well for me and leaves one box free for the batt etc. Can take a piccy if you wish.

Short term fix for me will be a battery box in the tray up against the head board, long term solution will be to fabricate a battery box under the tray in the centre under a trap door (hatch).

As the tray on the military D/C is only 1800mm long I will also be fitting an under tray slide out draw, which is 1250 x 1250mm, the battery box will fit nicely in front of that.

The dual cab doesnt have room to fit boxes in front of the rear wheels like the cab chassis, & I dont like the idea of putting them behind the rear wheels, so all my recovery gear, tools etc... will go into the under tray draw.

thanks Braggy
yes i have the pdf from pihrana, and it certainly looks to be a squeeze in there ...
not sure if i am too keen to move those 2 ea ecm modules or mess with anything that may come back to bite me warranty wise etc, so for now i may start thinking of box mounted 2nd batt,
it is mainly for auxillary stuff and winch ( down the track when the cash situation allows) but also needs to have enough capacity ( and big enough cabling) to be able to crank without much of a voltage drop...
cheers
