Winston is talking diesel, you have a petrol which would explain the difference.

Hi,
New to forum, have just bought a 2014 spec 150 TD and need some advice on dual battery set ups. I'm looking at a Redarc SB112 kIt and wonder if thats all I need for a basic dual battery set up, along with tray and battery of course? I won't be towing campers or caravans etc just want it for basic accessories like Driving lights, light bar, and for starting if I'm out for a while. Might get a fridge sometime down the track but my wife is a motel/hotel kind of explorer so other than stopping at the lake and fishing for hours and listening to music etc it won't get much of a workout. I've read some threads and people are talking about running full management systems, I just want to have a second battery so I can start the car if one goes flat.
Thanks in advanceComment

And here I was thinking you guys were quiet because you spent so long in the queues getting fuel you had nothing left to talk about...Originally posted by craigm View PostYeh I can understand what you're say'n Winston.

In an under bonnet install and simple VSR together with a booster diode will give you
the most cost effective install, if you use a battery that can accept high recharge
currents it will also give you the fastest recharge times by far.

Have Toyota changed the air con pipe in the new facelift Prado?
Does the 12" Piranha tray still fit without too much bending and pushing?Toyota Prado 2013 MY14 | GXL Auto |Liquid Bronze|BFG Tyres|Still waiting for ARB BullbarComment

No it's exactly the same.Originally posted by BigBoy83 View Post
I didn't need a 12" tray but liked the construction of the piranha tray compared to others, especially the way it mounts. But for it to fit that pipe needs moving quite a bit. So I cut the piranha tray down to a 10" tray and fitted it, even at 10" the pipe still needed moving over about 20mm. Made up a new bracket for the pipe and bolted it to the tray. All turned out well.Comment

Pirahna do make a 10" tray for the petrol model.Comment

Part of the reason is 12" batteries, because they hang out over the guard and put more stress on it. A 10" sits inside the guard.[B]Steve[/B]

Yeah they do to, don't know how I missed that, thought they were all 12". I was going to try and fit the 12" but after getting the tray and seeing how far that pipe needs moving plus the extra weight of the 12" thought the 10" was a safer bet. Was easy to modify, just cut the folded up bit off and and bent up the end.Originally posted by fido666 View PostComment

Has anyone use the ABR Sidewinder kit of late? I'm thinking of buying his tray, kit, and monitor. Derek offers 10% discount to PradoPoint members too.Comment

Is a battery tray really necessary?
Posted the following, then discovered similar discussion earlier, but how many have done it?
Planning my dual battery set-up. Noticed the main battery doesn't have a tray as such, just piece of plastic, and sits out over the end of the platform (in 2014 Diesel). It just uses a cross-piece and hold down rods.
Would there be a problem with doing the same with the auxiliary? The hold down points are there already. A hold down bracket and two rods would provide the same security as that afforded the original battery. The most obvious problem would be relocating the A/C bracket, but that's possible.
Have ordered an Optima D34M, so it would be smaller and lighter than the cranking battery too.
