Best dual battery tray for '07 JK?

[ventura911]

Looking at MORE, Rugged Ridge, Benchmark, etc. for a pair of Diehard Platinum AGMs. Any input on what you have used, which is sturdiest or easiest to install, etc., would be appreciated.

Thanks!
Kevin

You can take Benchmark off the list, the rumor is they couldn't keep up with demand and ended up closing their doors.

I have heard good things about Rugged Ridge...I may be buying one form them myself soon.

I have the rugged ridge I put it in my 2010 jk and forgot about it.

I had the Rugged Ridge in my 2010 JK with a pair of Diehard Platinums and had no issues.

I appreciate that info, as another forum member has offered me an unused Rugged Ridge tray that should work well. Thanks!

Kev,
I have the MORE dual battery tray with the Painless Digital Management System. Very happy with both.
Installation of the MORE tray was pretty straightforward. Had mine powder coated and its very sturdy.

We have tried all the dual battery options for the JK. In our opinion the MORE is the best fit and the easiest to install.

Just curious, as that is a bold statement to make. Have you tried the Genesis system? It is fairly new to market.

The Genesis system looks nice.

Dual Battery Tray

We built our own. We plan on doing a Hemi swap down the road, so why buy another tray when that time comes. This tray allows room for the Hemi swap, and also keeps the airbox in the stock location for use with our AEV snorkel. One of our best mods to date.

Mike,

It was a bold statement, probably too bold. I should have said we have tried "many" of the dual battery solutions that are available on the market. All the ones we tried we had to modify with the plasma cutter, there have also been issues with relocating components within the engine compartment, along with labor intensive installs. The one exception was the MORE system.

I looked at the link for the Genesis unit, and no we haven't tried their set up so I can't say if it works well or not.

What has your experience been with this unit? Is the install straight forward? Does it involve much modification of the stock equipment? Does it require relocation of components, and how easy was it is to do?

To be honest I do not have any personal experience with it. I did talk to the guys at Genesis last year at Jeep Beach and it seems like a very well put together approach. They claim it to be the easiest to install and the most complete system available here: http://www.jkowners.com/forum/showthread.php?t=93630 so I was wondering if you had tried it.
