Default BMR Battery Relocation Tray

How do they fit? Anyone have pics of it installed? I might add it to my summit order on friday, but may hold off and get my power steering pump instead.

Post some pics and make me change my mind haha I want to clean up the engine bay and this will help alot and move some weight too

Thanks in advance

I really hope you change your mind, the summit kit kit or Taylor are both cheaper, and comes with the wires. I have a BMR tray myself but save some feria for fuel

Yeah I guess thats true, but they also aren't a direct bolt in are they?

Right now I changed my mind, but I'll see what else I find in the mean time

Looks good but seems like it would make things more of a pita than anything in my opinion. Then again, guess you don't have to access it very much or at all anyways most of the time

Call AAA 87$ a year 4 pick ups U cant run the small tire in the back any way. If it is in the back then you have to put the spare in the front and move the full size to the back. Quicker to have it picked up and moved home then get the other car.
