Aussie Jimny

hey guys I'm looking at setting up a second battery for the jim, i grabbed a battery tray of jimny bits, just wondering what battery and charge/isolator system everyone using....

i was thinking Yellow top D51R - T1 and a Red-Arc isolator..

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

so i had some fun getting my jimny ready for dual battery's.

Replaced the standard battery with the Optima and going to get a deep cycle battery this weekend and get it all hooked up..

Ran 3 power cables to the back of the car so i can run a fridge a camp light and something else (not sure what)

was a pretty easy install just need to mount the red-arc and the second 100amp breaker.

following week ill be fabing up a winch plate. about 90% finished with the design should be sweet as..

im looking as making a winch plate in the next week or so. any of you guys made your own ??

im thinking maybe 4-5mm plate and have it bolt through the chassis rail 4/m12's each side w/ crush tubes should be heaps what do you guys think??

I used 6mm plate for mine and bolted it with 3 M12 High Tensile. Pulled it with about 20 tonne of extra mud over 30m just fine.

I've not played/made a self made winch plate, sorry can't help!

What which rating are you getting? 9000lb? Might help with shear strength of bolts etc.

i got a 4000lb one to see how it holds up, but no doubt ill be upgrading it soon hahahaha.

i have a meeting with the fab guys to talk about how where going to tackle it.... ill let you guys know how i get on..
