Group Buy - Aussie Battery Tray

[jangoforhire]

I have gotten confused with all this back and forth and multiple threads and what not.

The breakdown right now is $200 per person(if we get 10 people) for just a tray shipped to the US + shipping to your door, correct?

 

[phillyd2]

$200 each for the tray including shipping from AU to NC USA.

Let's do it. I'd be willing to put the $200 down that Bud will NOT have a solution by "early summer" because he said "two weeks" about two months ago.

Either way I'd like to have a solution by the summit and preferably something for me to pick-up on my way down to NC in late May! What say the kabal?

 

[joneseyyy]

Agree with Limamike, still in at a slightly higher cost.

 

[phillyd2]

I would be number 3. If the rest chime in and agree I'll order them.

I'll chime-in for 4Shorerunner - he's in!

 

[4RunnerOK]

Fine with me.

 

[jangoforhire]

I'm down. Let's do it

 

[phillyd2]

Email sent down under to confirm and asking for lead-time.

Somebody please contact the other on the list as well as the maybe in this thread to get their approval.

 

[phillyd2]

Update. They say they have 500 trays in stock and ready to ship.

Congrats to all you soon-to-be ABR battery tray owners!

Let's hope Derek at ABR includes installation instructions for each battery tray .. it definitely saves on a bit of head-scratching regarding the relocation of the power steering fluid reservoir and the bracket modification for the A/C piping. When you get your head wrapped around those 2 details, the installation couldn't be easier.

You'll all now be able to fit a Group 25/35 battery between the passenger side headlight and OEM air filter housing. Plus you'll saved the space up by the passenger-side firewall for an on-board air compressor.

LAST CALL for anybody else.

 

[phillyd2]

As promised, email just sent to Bud to see if he is interested in making / selling 8 trays. I'll give him a few days before placing the order.

Thanks for your help in organizing this!

 

[phillyd2]

Thank you AFTER we get them in our grubby hands :hatsoff:

 

[jangoforhire]

Sounds awesome.

Quick side track, I know most of you guys got in on the IBS group buy. I missed that by one day. Is this the best dual battery controller out there? The only place I have found it online is here: IBS -DBS Dual Battery System with Microprocessor - Sierra Expeditions
Anyone know of a cheaper place?

 

[phillyd2]

I think I'll be using the Blue Sea system but I have not spent enough time looking at all options.
