  • ARB battery tray in a petrol

    Hi,
    Does the ARB battery tray fit a v6 petrol in the passenger firewall position? I've had one ARB tell me they only fit the diesel and therefore can not do a dual battery install for me. They said the ECU wiring is in the way and not to mess with it. Another ARB says it is fine and they will move anything in the way. I'm a bit concerned about the conflicting info and it seems difficult to get a straight answer from either store.

    Thanks
    Cam

    Hi Cam
    Depending on the year of manufacture and model of prado, yes the ARB battery tray will fit the V6 engine bay in the passenger side.
    I installed one to our 2003 GXL V6. The ARB guy is correct in saying that things will have to be repositioned a little. On the 2003, The ballast resistor (the heat sink looking item) bracket was adjusted slightly. While the charcoal canister was removed from the guard position and its bracket mounted to the isolator mount on the battery tray.
    I have seen later models that seem to have a larger charcoal canister and doubt that this could be relocated, But it may be possible.
    Things that I like about the ARB tray are its :strength; position; mounting to the fire wall,guard and wheel arch , short cable run from cranking battery; and leaves room on the drivers side front corner for the mounting of other accessories. Had thought of the possibility of mounting a third battery on a (Off Road Down-under 120 Prado V6 tray).
    Cam what Year & Model is your Prado mate and what is your location.

      So they don't have to touch all the wiring running through the firewall. I find it frustrating getting different answers from every 4wd store. I love that i can get an answer here from someone who has actually done it.

      I have a 2004 Auto GXL and i'm in Brisbane. I have my location in my profile but it didn't display. I must have skipped one of the options.

        I'm getting one fitted (to the firewall) to my 2003 model tomorrow at Westside 4x4 in Sumner Park. If I get a chance I'll try to post some pics.
