Hey guys,
I've been exchanging emails with Nathan over at [MENTION=64712]CBI OffRoad Fab[/MENTION] about a Group 31 Marine Battery Tray Kit for the 3rd Generation 4Runners.
Sure, CBI could make a one-off for me, but the price would reflect that and would be disproportionately high relative to the cost of materials. To keep prices down, I'd like to get a list going of people who would be interested in such a product. *Admins/Mods - I apologize in advance if this violates any rules, but this thread would get lost in the CBI or Parts For Sale subforums.*
I like to give credit where it is due. [MENTION=74071]Brilliant[/MENTION] spent his money and took a chance with the Slee Offroad 1998-07 Land Cruiser / LX470 Group 31 Battery Upgrade Tray with Bracket and modified it to fit his needs here. I want to respect his bandwidth, so I'm not going to hotlink images.

I'm assuming Slee designed the hold-down bracket to allow a little flexibility. Do you guys want that or do you want a snug fit like what Brilliant did with his?
The details are going to have to be finalized, but I'd imagine it would be very similar to the Slee tray:
CBI Offroad Fab Group 31 Marine Battery Tray Kit for 3rd Gen 4Runners
- Battery Tray with dimple-died holes (was: with recessed bolt holes)
- Battery Hold-Down Bracket with CBI Logo
- Utilizes OEM J-Hook (was: Replacement Extended J-Hook)
- Standard Powdercoat*
- Reuses All OEM Hardware
- Foam Strips
Pricing: Update 01/22 = $70 plus actual shipping. I'm checking with CBI as we speak and will update the thread accordingly. Similar to other group buys, I think there will be an initial discount price that would increase once the group buy is over.
Update 02/06 = Link to buy and final product picture.
T4R3 Battery Tray (Group 31 size) | CBI Offroad Fab
*I'm asking Nathan to check with his powdercoat guy to see if they can supply Poly Armor coating just like Slee. This is a rubberized corrosion and chemical resistant coating. Update 01/22 = Poly Armor is too cost-prohibitive.
PS: Sorry Slee, but if you showed the 3rd Gen T4Rs more love...
So I'll start off the list. Update 01/22 = Nathan said we need five (5) people and we can get this thing rolling. Turnaround will be approximately two (2) weeks after we get the first five.
