Ya not sure if it would work with the 3.6 space wise or not to be honest. Quadratec has an install pdf of that same unit on the 3.8 and it looked rather tight to me. Rugged Ridge makes a similar type mount as well as I recall but not sure if updated for the 3.6 or not. Space and added weight was the reason I didnt go that way in the first place with the 200 bucks or so for the mount I just put that towards the smaller more expensive batteries and mounted them in the stock tray.

Looks like the Benchmark unit is still the only option for 2012/2013 dual battery. Hope some other vendors step up!

Personally speaking, just avoid Benchmark. It's not worth the headache. From what I've read, good products, but that's when and if you ever see the product. Some people had to wait a full YEAR to get what they ordered. If I don't get mine soon(by end of july), I will be suing, which should be fun. I love causing people who deserve it legal headaches.

Planning the install for this weekend. Going with 2 of the Diehard Platinum Marine series 34 batteries. Going to use the wiring from my Benchmark tray(which by the way did not fit and dont even think about trying to return anything to that joke of a company). I will post up my first impression next week.

I recently installed the MORE tray in my 2012... Easy install and the tray is great. My only complaint is the hold down system... a nylon strap?!? no way. I made my own out of Aluminum and used standard hold down J hooks. I am using the Painless 250 isolator with it. So far so good and very happy.
