Indeed. There is NO Aux tray on the market, anywhere that I've seen for a Jimny with both A/C and ABS.
The ones on Jimny bits won't do it.

I had to get one custom fabricated. Hunter1084 posted my build page above. The pictures I've posted in my build thread clearly show what I've moved where.

Feel free to message me if you have any questions.

Looks good, I see unlike the Jimnybits kit you have relocated the washer bottle above the exhaust manifold, so the battery can sit sideways to give room for the A/C. Does the washer bottle not suffer from the excess heat? And, is the coolant expansion bottle still on its original mount. I wonder if the original Jimnybits kit could be re-designed.
