Discovery 2 Dual Battery Tray

**carldjohnston** · 26th March 2014, 10:36 AM

Hi Everyone,

Updated 16/01/2015

Trays are now on sale for $149!

You can now order these trays from my website: Overland Designs

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 a mount for the TD5's ECU (computer).

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 with a zinc undercoat and a satin black top coat. The kit contains mounting bolts for ECU, and protective pinch weld for exposed edges on vehicle.

These are a revised design that is better finished than the previous trays. They have been laser cut and precision folded to a very high standard - I'm very happy with how these have turned out.

If you'd like any more information, either visit the website Overland Designs or send me a PM.

Cheers, Carl

The rest of these will sell like hot cakes. If you are after a dual battery tray for the disco then you should get in quick. These are very well made.

Just to clarify, these seven boxes won't fit a D2A, but there will be some made shortly that will; I'll post these up when they're finalised.

Cheers, Carl

Hi, I'll bite the bullet and take one too, BUT, I don't know my way around the site too well, please give me a heads up as to how to contact you.

Hi Mike,

Got your PM, thanks; either PM or replying to this thread would be fine.

Here are a couple of pictures of the tray installed in rangieman's D2:

Just out of curiosity, why don't these fit the d2a?...headlights?...mine is not the "a" so it's fine.

Hi Kev,

The panel between the headlights and the engine bay is different between the models; specifically the headlight cables exits the light higher on the D2A, and they've deleted a mounting bolt that runs into this panel (exists on D2, not on D2A).

The design change (on my tray) was to allow extra room for this cable, and to remove the mounting bolt hole.

Cheers, Carl

Ahhh, I guessed it would have to be because of the headlights somehow......now I know

Cheers.
