I decided to relocate the battery toward the rear of my Dakota to help with weight distribution. Since I will be running a side pipe type exhaust system and no longer have the exhaust running between the passenger’s side frame rail and driveshaft, I plan to mount this tray to the frame rail on the passenger’s side where the stock muffler used to be placed. Now I have to position the tray where I want it to go and figure out how to fasten it to the frame rail. I have some ideas but they may just lead to something else. As it is, this battery tray is nowhere near what the first idea looked like. The flat strap/crossbrace with the hole is for the OEM battery temperature sensor.
