Alright! I'm in the process of getting my dual battery setup and have had a headache searching through several different threads for solutions on which tray and battery to get. So I thought I'd create a thread with all our dual battery threads to make it easier for other members when they get around to it. While we are well aware of the issues with the aircon pipe and power steering reservoir, here are the various documented installs that I have found:
