Slee offroad has a solution almost all that I have seen including using the OEM Toyota solution re locates the washer fluid bottle and uses the other side as the second battery tray

Iron Pig has one that puts 2 Optoma batteries in the same place its pricy though

I'd Personally find a place in the back and use a battery isolator for charging. it would need to be a home fab design.

Hey thanks for the info. I have seen the slee one Before. The problem is I have the 91 and my battery is already on the left. The 93 when they changed the motor they moved the battery to the right side. On mine I have a fan of soom sort that blows air on the Motor when I shut the truck off some times. So I can't move the battery to the right side. It's an odd problem. I will post pics of my fix when I get it done

To be clear I'm talking left, right when looking down with the hood open. This is what I have going on

Hey look at that! Neat never seen that configuration. I would run an isolator from your battery find a place in the back behind the interior panels that you can hid an optima or something else that you can mount any direction you want. Good source for 4 gauge wire is 4/GA jumper cables from amazon you can get 25' length for your Hot and have plenty of black to chop up for grounds.
That sounds a plan I will take a look. I have a full truck with kids and wife so space is tight. But I'm sure there is room. I will post an update when I know more.
