Anybody tried to mount a 2nd battery in there Expy. If so, where. i would like to find a good spot to mount one.

what would be the function of the battery? (audio/video.... towing a trailer.... running converters?)

Probably power inverter, provide power for camping. Want some extra juice for accessories so I don't run the primary battery down.

Thought maybe under the air filter housing. not sure if it would fit there. There is some space behind the rear wheels wells, but it would get a rough ride there.

I have dual optimas that are mounted in the stock location, thanks to a kit from Wrangler power products.

Thanks Tony. That seems to be the simplest solution. A little out of my price range, but it gives me an idea for a starting point.

hmmm... i might just do that instead of the rear battery. or dual rear batterys who knows? o dose the kit come with directions on how to runn the battery wires and switches? i know you only got the tray but just wondering.
