- I show you guys how i went about fabricating my own DIY dual battery tray.
Installing fuse and relay boxes as well as finalising the main power wiring routing.
I also install a set of BT Cruiser gas bonnet struts which in my opinion is a MUST have for any 70 Series Landcruiser owner.

Good job young blood, with out sounding like an old man, have you thought about tying in the outside angle to the base, 50kg of batteries off road is a lot of inertia, it only looks like 25x25x3’mm a little movement and the angle could kink outward, sounds farfetched, but worse has happened to more well planned trays, sorry to but its just years of mistakes making me say it. Keep up the good work bro, she’s a dardy rig
Hahahahaha anyone else notice the dig at Sam Eyles at 8:25. Good work mate that looks really clean👌
Might be worth leaving the original bonnet holding rod in there in case the struts fail, that way you can still easily put your bonnet up if your out Bush
Love the bonnet mod & battery tray, it a joke what they charge. Even the factory one up there & its plastic
Andrew Headland yeah me too
keen for some trip videos!
I am no engineer nor a welder, but I would have put another triangle in between the two batteries for extra support.
Edit: Super neat electrical setup, definitely got a lot of ideas from your build.
Nice work mate, very cool. Can't wait to see the places you go in this rig.
It’s unfortunate that Toyota’s didn’t get to Canada in quantity’s to that it did in the rest of the world. Thank the Americans again for that. I would love to find a older land cruiser to do these mods to.
Top looking battery cradle man along with the relay/fuse box with ya infill panel, think i will do same cheers. It’s certainly coming together mate👍🏽
love the bt strutts so good
Thats it! You convinced me that I need gas struts under the hood! ...er... bonnet...Great work man!
Hello again. I'd say out of all the vids so far (and work) this is my favourite. Very impressed with attention to detail regarding wiring bracketry & concealed wiring, harness tidy-up etc. I'll be using some of the ideas myself! (bout to embark on 75 series troopy resto) Pete in Airlie Beach
I watch from ep1 to ep14 videos. So amazing .. such beast... Work hard and great work .. why no prefer 1fzfe for modernization in the future ?
Thanks mate! Not a fan of petrol in a 4wd.
awesome vid mate, love the direction your going with this troopy, its going to be sick when its done!
Wiring is to confusing for me 😂 you make it look easy👍🏼
Battery tray looks good man, doing the same thing atm to my 75 series
Troopy legend, looking good brother 🍻
Looks wicked mate, enjoying the videos!
Nice work mate keep up the good work
Love watching your videos and the neatness and care with your work. Can I ask a question regarding location. Given that under bonnet heat is the enemy of efficient battery performance and longevity, would you have considered putting the tray on the drivers side of the engine away from the turbo? Alternatively can you heat shield them somehow. Keep up the great work. Just starting my 60 series lockdown project. The videos keep me inspired.
Cheers mate i appreciate it! You're too right, the turbo housings will be getting as much heat shielding as possible which i think should be fine regarding the batterys. I would have preferred them to be on the drivers side for plumbing but would have been a nightmare rerouting the wiring
Love ya work legend!!
Legend, Bloody awesome mate i own one the same color and all. where is it you live the sun shines all the time compared to south gippsland.
Come up real nice, have you been using the gasless mig for the whole project?
Jimmy Obrien cheers! yeah mate been doing me well
Nice video keep it up
wanna make another one haha
what is the rust protection paint called you are using on everything?
You do really nice work and videos. Just wondering - I have none of these tools and none of the experience to make one of these trays. Do you make these for people? If so, I would buy one from you. My trays are the plastic flimsy ones, and don't do the vehicle justice.
Very nice tray mate! 2 questions what's the name of the tool you used to drill new perfect holes for mounting the tray? What brand is your welder? Thanks in advances
Hey man I think your referring to the rivnut gun and it’s a cigweld 🤟
@@ShedBuilt Yes Thanks Mate !
What do u do for a living man??
mate how many of these trays did you make before getting the finished product. just notice there were a couple different ones. Currently doing mine and its taking so much longer then i thought'
mickey baumberger this is the only one mate, had to cut off and redo one of the braces because it was too long and wouldn’t clear the bonnet
How much the the Bt struts cost you?
Is it not 24 volt so two batt. In myne it is
Is the power steering reservoir factory from hj75? I Want to relocate my hehe....
Not worried bout the battery bracket tearing the nutserts out?
Nah mate it was only 1 nursert where a factory nut was cross threaded
@@ShedBuilt be good to go then, come up shmick
Id be interested in the led headlight diagram if you don’t mind
in the description mate
would you like to share me size ( 3 dimensions) of Dual Battery Tray - HJ75 ?
