31M Battery Cage - Driver Side Makers?

[MaddoxPics]

I’m looking to purchase a battery tray, cage, whatever you want to call it to replace the OEM spot on the 4Runner to run a 31M battery. With PelfreyBilt running into the issues they’re having, the only other maker I can find is LFD. I’m not exactly against theirs, but after reading it sounds like I not only have to drill for it to work, but also buy the mounting hardware as well. I assume this is because it’s more of a universial cage?

Anyways, are or is there anyone else making these cages? There are plenty for the passenger side for dual setups, but I’m not interested in a dual setup as my main reason for this setup is to run a fridge during camping trips.

Thanks for any help.

Bud Built makes one

Price is too steep for me.

Also great list of options/vendors here. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/175469-dual-battery-systems.html

That’s on the passenger side unfortunately. I also have a 2017.

Sorry, I didn't look at it close enough. I knew they made a tray, but once I saw the price I was gone...................

Slee Off Road makes some different G31 trays but nothing 4runner specific. I just used the cheap on from mcmaster-carr and it's been working just fine.

i ran a cheapo, plastic battery tray for a group 31 from amazon, before I got a pelfrybilt cage and it worked just fine also.

Only difference was that the pelfrybilt tray was caged and made of metal, but it did the same thing my cheapo plastic tray did....

Edit: just saw your note on Pilfrey, sorry about that.

I'm using this basic $34 stainless steel tray (used to cost $20), only because at the time LFD wasn't making their tray yet. You should be able to get a basic painted metal tray for like $10 from jegs or somewhere.

LFDOffRoad has one that's not to pricey.

I ended up with the remy battery tray, extended j hooks, slee battery terminal extension kit, and a billet hold down from amazon.

See this post for the tray and hooks: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/187467-jicko-build-thread-8.html#post2111336

Total cost was around $35 for the tray, hooks and hold down. Overall probably just as sturdy as the budbuilt for -$100. I may eventually put in the pelfreybilt, just didn't see the point right now.

That is a decent price...I'm shocked, it's about 1/2 the Pelfrey trays.

I have been running the pelphrey cage for 10000 miles no issues.. hundreds of miles of dirt roads including the infamous death valley racetrack washboard...
