The 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser has a battery tray mount on the right fender. I chose to use this location for my second battery. I also will be installing a 1″ body lift which will stretch one of the PS hoses to much.
Right Fender Battery Tray Mount
Both these items required me to move the Power Steering Reservoir as well as lowering it 1″.
I utilized a section of “L” steel cut to fit where the existing bracket was. I cut the top section off the factory bracket and welded it to the section of “L” steel.
New Mount
Drilled and mounted this new bracket lowered the PS reservoir by 1″ and moved it off the battery tray mount.
New Mount Installed
Time for this mod was about 1 hour and the cost was minimal.
I love to see your progress as the “White Knight” comes together. Interesting that they added a battery box, but no battery or battery controller. I wonder what the wisdom was behind that…?????
I’ve seen suspension lifts, but not much talk about a body lift. Is it common and where can I learn more about it? A 3″ suspension lift seems more than necessary and I wonder about the geometry afterwards. Cheers, JS
I like the body lift because it provides move clearance for larger tires and also get the body away from the rock rakes and bumpers.
