Would it not be easier to put the second battery in the boot ?

Easier, yes, absolutely. But most people want the Aux battery out of the way, and theres not a whole lot of room back there. On a daily basis I have my first aid kit, tool kid, recovery kit and an esky in the boot. No way would I fit it in. Not to say others can't.

Carrow wrote: 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.


Coolant expansion bottle is in its original position. I have extractors that run a lot hotter than the stock manifold and have not had issue with the washer bottle showing any signs of melting.

Reviving a dead thread, has anyone managed to do this?

I'm thinking of using a washer bottle of a DDIS Jimny, it fits on the inside of the wing so would free up a lot of space.
