Battery Box Mount

[billy]

I am going to mount a custom made dual battery box on the right inner fender . The box and batterys weigh 25 pounds. Do you all think this is to much weight for the inner fender?

For the body sheet metal? Yes.
Don't forget there will be two batteries in there as well. The factory single battery tray mounts to the frame, as yours should.

my 45LV Jimiwag has a PO mod'd battery box mounted to the fender, it holds a single Orbital, and it holds it OK(ish), but 2 wouldn't be a good idea IMOP

also you could do something like I did in my 82 fj40, I made the stock tray a bit biger and installed a pair of Odyssey 1200MJT's I love this set up.

You could do the diesel two battery dealy, not sure but I think the factory trays are still available.

My mistake batterys weigh 22 pounds each, tray 3 pounds total 47.

Thanks John, I always value your opinion.

Main support from should come up from your frame and only use the fender to keep the tray from wiggling. I've got pics...at home.

I am using a manafre dual battery tray for it. The tray and mounting are waaay sturdy.
I think this will bolt to the stocker tray, but I had ripped mine out for my Chebby conversion so that I could get the tray and batteries higher up and away from the motor. I made a bracket that attaches to the shock tower, and then have another bracket that bolts to the frame, and has a post coming off that. The tray is welded to those brackets, but could have been bolted to them if you dont have a welder. Heres the tray I have:
