I have only purchased the secondary battery tray so far but will be getting the painless 40120 dual battery kit soon and installing it on my truck
Here is a simple write up on what you will need to install the secondary battery tray.
Items Required;
Tray: gm part 15246518 price: 33.50
screw: gm part 1150853 price: 1.11
retainer: gm part 14005061price: 4.59
total cost: 39.20
Time took about 10 min, no rush goes on easy.
Tools:
sockets: 10mm and 13mm
ratchet
Here is the spot where we are going to be installing the new battery tray
Heres what the trey looks like, part numbers for it are at the top of this post including dealer pricing:
Once you have your sockets your going to want to remove the fender supports using the 13mm socket. once the brace is removed you will remove the 4 nuts from the bolts on the firewall with the same 13mm socket. after you remove the nuts you will then need to remove 2 bolts and a nut and move the radiator overflow bottle out of the way.
remove the bolt and the nut using the 10mm socket.
then on the other side of the overflow reservoir there is a 10mm bolt
once you remove the bolts and nuts slide the reservoir up and set it off to the side so you can remove the old plate and install the new batter tray,
once you have the tray in position reinstall all hardware and tighten down.
If you installed everything correctly it should now look like this.
I will continue to update this thread once i purchase the other parts necessary to finish this mod.
The part number for the dual battery kit i will be installing is Painless 40120 which doesnt require a switch to be mounted in the truck as the controller will automatically switch the battery for you.
You can order it from jeep 4x4center for 175 including free shipping.

I haven't decided on what battery i want to purchase for the secondary spot but im going to want to keep the fender brace in so this will limit the options on what battery will be able to fit in this location as clearance is a big issue.
