Not sure if the series 4 aux batt set-up is much different to the series 2 etc.... but I'd be reluctant to fit a 2nd full-size battery (AGM or wet cell or whatever) in the under-bonnet position.
My 1st GU (2000 model) had a wet cell mounted in a cradle right behind the air cleaner. I'm not into rough driving, but did take the rig to
Cape York twice....and there are one or 2 patches of corrogations up that way.
My GU suffered from torn inner guards, both the base and the side. The tray that was fitted to
mine utilised about 5 of the factory captive nuts....they all broke away on the surrounding metal.
Eventually, I fitted a 35kg AGM (Fullriver 120a/h HGL) inside the rear of the Patrol, behind the cargo barrier in the area of the footwell of the passenger's side 3rd row. I connected it via a heavy pair of cables using a Anderson Plug arrangement.
