Was updating my Amazon wishlist and saw the notification that someone had bought me the dual battery wiring harness. My birthday isn't for a month, so I gotta play dumb....

But... Now I'm in the market for a mounting bracket. So far I've only found one and it's kinda pricey. Anyone aware of any other mounting kits out there?

Junkyard. Truck with same size battery. Free
 
I need a way to mount the battery though.

Not sure where you'll mount it. I have a 5th gen. Mine has space in the same area on opposite side. I relocated my windshield reservoir there. Might have to do a little old school engineering!

I've been looking myself and short of finding the OGE tray used, the only cheap option is building your own. I've seen a few mention getting an appropriately sized universal tray from Amazon and building up their own mounts by spacing it out to meet the passenger side fender depth (in back) and bolting to the fender. The OGE one looks so nice, but yea, pricey.
 
I made a tray out of angle iron and some expanded metal and a couple chain links for the anchor point for the hold down. I used a piece of 1/2” flat bar and and old bike tire for the hold down. There’s a bolt and fender washer run through an existing hole in the fender well and I built two small brackets for the inner fender and firewall so it sits nice and tight in there.
