Hi Mick,

Not sure what changes in a light conversion, but the tray is designed to fit both D2 and D2A. I don't imagine an issue if you have the standard battery box fitted, and it's mostly unmodified. I'm happy to refund if it doesn't fit.

Hello,

Would you be able to post to the UK?

Cheers Dave

I would be interested in grabbing 2 from the next batch pretty please.

Hi Dave,

I hadn't considered shipping internationally; you might get a better deal locally after shipping. Try Wild4x4 on D2BC forums first, if that's not what you're after than I'll price up the shipping.

Well, after a month or so travelling around the Kimberley, then a week recovering from travelling, I'm back on board. My apologies to those of you who have been waiting for some new Battery Tray's to be completed, you could say I've been doing some product testing.

Last week John and I started a batch of Trays, these are the new type that will fit both the D2 (pre-facelift) and D2A (facelift) models; we're aiming to have these completed and ready to ship in around a week.

The new trays will be Powder coated mild steel, the same as the last run, only these will be finished to a higher standard, and can now accommodate the D2A.

We'll be selling the trays for $179 plus postage, and I'm happy to take orders for them now, just PM me for a shipping quote.


This Battery Tray replaces the factory tray on 1999-2004 Discovery 2 models (either TD5 or V8 engines), and allows fitting of two Optima D34 sized batteries. The tray uniquely incorporates mounting points for the TD5's ECU (computer), and has mounting holes on the side for a DCDC charger or other accessories.

The Battery Tray uses existing factory mounting holes and bolts, and requires no modifications to your vehicle for fitting. It is CAD designed and CNC fabricated from mild steel, then powder coated satin black. The kit contains mounting bolts for ECU, and protective pinch weld and foam tape for exposed edges on vehicle.











Cheers, Carl

Hey Carl,

I just got one of your battery trays from Russ (sorry I didn't get direct from you!).

Was wondering if you could advise where the extra bits of pinch weld and adhesive foam attach to?

I haven't looked at the car or attempted install yet, just curious before I get into it!

Well manufactured product you've made there Very impressed!

Hi xaymaca,

The extra little bits are there to protect the battery and ECU from rubbing.

The longer piece of pinchweld should be applied to the front bulkhead, across the front edge of the car where the batteries may touch.

The short piece of pinchweld is to protect the ECU and should be placed behind the tray, where the ECU would touch. The foam goes on the ECU where this pinchweld would touch; this is for further protection.

Glad you like it!

Cheers, Carl

G'day Carl,
Just keeping in touch. Are we faraway from the next lot of trays. I'll wait for your pm, thanks.
