Thanx for this ! I was thinking the same thing then came across this thread. I was going to purchase the MORE dual battery tray for my 2012 jkur . I was concerned the dual may not be able to be mounted sideways ?? So this has been working good for you i'm hoping ! Please let me know if you've had any problems mounting this vertically like this . Did you fab the bracket mount yourself to the batt tray ? Thanx again awesome job

Everything is working great. The tray is perfect for what I needed. Also the bracket I did make myself.

The only issue I had with the tray was the bolt that join the tray to the fuse box tray. I needed that extra 1/4" so I welded those two together and did away with the bolts. I did not want to purchase a new Optima batter because mine is less than a year old. The tray I used recommended an Optima. But I found a work around. If you have any other questions don't hesitate to post or hit me up.

Sorry, I just saw this post as I don't subscribe to threads. There is a large rubber grommet at the upper end of the passenger side footwell that works great. It comes through the firewall behind the battery box. No pics available to show though

Check out the mount from Carolina Metal Masters! Takes both compressors and mounts them under the seat. Couple guys in our group have them and live them.

I seen a couple rigs with them under the seat. I chose not to go that route because of the noise.

Noise really isn't that bad, and most times you are running the compressors you aren't sitting in it anyway.

I have the twin as well and its just sitting in the back. I want to mount it and a 2.5 gallon tank in the back somewhere / somehow. Ive considered the Molle racks but hope someone comes up with a better idea.

You can put it anywhere along with the tank back there. As long as your whiling to sacrifice the space. I also ordered a tank but ended up not using it. As soon as the tank empties your back to just running off the compressor. I didn't think it through. I just pressed buy now. I'm sure i will use it for something at some point. Maybe not jeep related. Any way good luck.
