nissan super safari roof rack

Review: Rhino-Rack for Nissan Patrol Y61

You might know that I frequently take friends out camping in the desert.  There are times when I can’t fit everything I want to take in my roomy Patrol LWB, so I’ve been searching for a roofrack since last winter.

On impulse I bought a cheap and boxy one locally in sanaiya – you cannot believe the wind noise from it, even at 80kph – so I disposed of it by doing a deal with a friend with a noisy old jeep which travels neither fast nor far and it’s doing fine with him.

I trawled the for-sale ads in Dubizzle and found a good roof rack tray, but by the time I added the cost of the legs and cross-bars required to carry it did not seem such a bargain.  There was nothing for it but to dig my hands deeper into my pocket!

The next step was to research all the top international brands and decide which one would be best for me

My criteria was

a) length – at least 2 metres long

b) side rails – looks better and keeps the load in place

c) noise – should not add too much noise when travelling at 120kph

d) accessories – wanted to be able to buy them off the shelf in the UAE

I finally plumped for a Rhino-Rack, supplied by Oomen Jacob and his team at TORC (The Offroad Company).

Their showroom is easy to find (pinned on Google Maps)

Firstly, we sat down over a cup of coffee and talked about….offroading of course!  These guys really know their stuff, not only for roofracks but also for vehicle mods in general.

They asked about the loads I plan to carry and the terrain to be crossed and recommended the the Pioneer Platform Tray with Sidebars as the best option.  To quote from the Rhino-Rack brochure “The Pioneer Platform is made from reinforced nylon and aluminium which creates a lightweight strength that is seriously durable. These non-corrosive Pioneer Platforms have withstood testing in the harshest conditions around the world so you know they can be trusted.”

The TORC team fitted it in a couple of hours in their workshop which adjoins their showroom.

The Y61 has “old fashioned” gutter mounts but TORC has a range of  leg brackets to cover all fixing options. I think it looks good on my car – makes it look like a serious overlander! (wish I’d washed it before these photos were taken tho!)

The Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform covers most of the roof but is situated nearer the back of the car for easy loading (best for short people like me)

The platform and sides are fine to be going on with but in time I will no doubt add some accessories – TORC has a good range in stock which is ideal for impatient shoppers like me – I often take forever to decide on a purchase but once I choose something I want it asap!

It’s not really camping weather in the UAE at the moment but I am planning a trip to the Umm As Sameem in September so I am all set up and ready to go for that!  Thanks to the TORC team for their guidance and for fitting a quality product.  You’ve won yourselves a long-term customer who will definitely be back for more!

Rhino-Rack roof rack kit - GQ Nissan Safari / Patrol SWB

HEAVY DUTY RL150 BLACK 2 BAR ROOF RACK

Recommended for the GQ Safari SWB - Rhino Roof Racks - Heavy Duty

Product title, $19.99 | $24.99, brands we supply, orp is proud to bring you these market leading brands.

SAFARI - Small cars can do surprising things, surprisingly well. The Micra has relatively large wheels for a super mini. This reduces the rolling resistance of the car, and gives a better ride over rough ground. The original Mini cars had 10" wheel rims, so had a higher rolling resistance and bumpy ride. They cured this a lot with the Metro , that had 13" rims and returned about 50mpg. The Micra has 14" rims and a much more advanced engine, but does not manage many more miles to the gallon. The VW Beetle had 15" rims, unfortunately matched to a very inefficient air cooled engine - so about 25mpg.

BEACH BUGGY - Here the rugged Nissan is seen on the beach at Seaford, with Newhaven Harbour in the background. This car is being used to scout for build locations for the SeaVax ocean cleanup project.

NISSAN   MICRA

MICRA K10 - The original Micra (chassis name K10) was introduced in October 1982 as a challenger to the Honda City, and Toyota Starlet. It was intended to replace the Nissan Cherry as the company's competitor in the supermini sector, as the Cherry model sold in Europe had progressively become larger with each successive generation. In Japan, it was exclusive to Nissan Cherry store locations, as the Japanese market Cherry was renamed March. The bodystyle was originally designed for Fiat as a replacement for the Fiat 127, but Fiat then adopted the Giugiaro styled Uno instead. It was introduced in the European market in 1983, and in Canada in 1984 for the 1985 model year (replacing the slightly larger Nissan Pulsar hatchbacks). Because the Micra was launched during Nissan's rebranding effort to systematically phase out the Datsun name. K11 - The second-generation K11 was built and launched in Japan in early 1992, and released in Europe in the fourth quarter of the year. It was powered by brand new all- aluminium 1.0 L (CG10DE) and 1.3 L (CG13DE) DOHC 16-valve engines, with 55 PS DIN (40 kW/54 hp) and 75 PS (55 kW/75 bhp) respectively (higher outputs were claimed in Japan, according the JIS rather than DIN/ECE rating), both with ECCS (Electronic Concentrated Control System) fuel injection. It was the second Nissan model line to be produced in the UK at the NMUK plant, Washington Tyne and Wear. A diesel version was offered with the 1.5 L PSA TUD market in Europe as Micra 1.5 D. CVT automatic transmission and Power steering was an option on some models, and the equipment list included safety features not usually available in this market segment: a toughened safety-cage and side-impact door beams were standard and pre-tensioning seat-belts and a driver's air-bag were optional. However, the MK2 Micra scored only a modest two stars in Euro NCAP testing in 1997. Airbags, antilock brakes, electric windows, central locking and air conditioning were as either standard equipment or options on some models in the Micra range. The European model range consisted of 1.0L and LX, 1.3LX, SLX and Super S. The car soon won the European Car of the Year award for 1993 (the first Japanese car to do so) and the Good Design Award (a Trade and Industry Design award in Japan) along with the Car of the Year Japan award in 1992. At its introduction in 1993, it won the Automotive Researchers' and Journalists' Conference Car of the Year award in Japan. Due to having won several awards, this would spawn the V3 Award edition. After minor changes in 1996, in 1998, six years after its launch, the Micra received a facelift which saw the whole range get power steering as standard. There was a Cabriolet (FHK11) unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show in 1995, but it was not sold until August 1997, with an electric top. These were produced in limited numbers for the Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) only. However, much like the Nissan Figaro, some have been imported into the UK unofficially. There was also an estate version called the March Box (WK11), which was unveiled on November 1999, with a double folding rear seat, along with an automatic transmission four-wheel drive model. K12 2002-2007 - The next version of the Micra, the K12, was unveiled in production form at the 2002 Paris Motor Show, following the lines of the Nissan mm.e concept car presented the year before at the Frankfurt Motor Show. It was introduced to the Japanese market in early 2002 and to the European market in early 2003. The car was radically redesigned: it featured a new, 70 mm longer wheelbase (developed with Renault) and an even more curvy exterior that was taller and slightly wider. Its most distinctive feature was a pair of prominent headlamps that extended to the wing-tops. The redesign coincided with the Japanese Nissan dealership network Nissan Cherry Store being renamed Nissan Red Stage in 1999. Other additions included a sliding rear seat and the option of keyless ignition on higher specification models. The range of engines included improved 1.2 (CR12DE) and 1.4 (CR14DE) petrol models, and a Renault-sourced 1.5 diesel unit (K9K). The automatic CVT transmission of the previous model was replaced by a conventional automatic transmission. K13 - The first sketches of the latest generation Nissan Micra were unveiled on 1 October 2009, referred to as W02A, later referred to in Nissan press releases as K13. The Nissan Micra K13 was unveiled at the 80th International Geneva Motor Show. It will be sold in more than 160 countries, including Thailand in March 2010, India in July 2010, and Europe in November 2010. This was the first of the March/Micra to be built in a North American plant, even though this generation will not have any sales in the United States . The Micra will be available in Canada after the spring of 2014 It is based on the new Type-V platform with a new 1.2-litre HR12DE (XH5) 59 kW (79 hp) 108 N·m (80 ft·lbf), 3-cylinder engine (the first for a March/Micra). In the end of 2011 Nissan introduce the supercharged version of 1.2 (HR12DDR) called in Europe as Micra 1.2 DIG-S and the other engine 1.5 (HR15DE) and 1.6 (HR16DE) for South American, Asian and Australian country. The car is expected to be fuel efficient, delivering 18 km to a litre of petrol. The new Idling Stop System is reported to improve fuel economy by 2.0 km/L. It features variable control of voltage for power generation with alternator (including regenerative charging function with braking energy). Micra's coefficient of drag is just 0.32 achieved in part by the sleek roofline, with a raised rear end, which optimally adjusts airflow to the rear sides and other elements of the body designed to reduce air resistance such as door mirrors, a large front spoiler and the underbody configuration. A lightweight roof panel helps to keep weight to 915 kg (2,017 lb). The car was designed to appeal to a unisex crowd, yet look stylish and elegant to face the tough competition. In India the Micra was offered with a diesel unit: the classic 1.5 dCI K9K produced by Renault with 65 hp.

MOTORSPORT Nissan first entered the Micra in motorsports with the March Superturbo R. Introduced in 1987, this rare pre-facelift K10 weighed in at 740 kg (1630 lb) with half interior, roll cage and tool kit. It was built for the new sub-1600 cc Group A class, and shortly after in 1988 Nissan released the March Superturbo as a road car. While the March was a favourite with the drivers in the Japanese Rally Championship, veteran Swedish rally driver Per Eklund finished the 1988 RAC Rally in 21st position and the 1989 Acropolis Rally Greece in 10th place. During the K11's production life, there was a series of national rally championship trophies held all over Europe called the Micra Challenge. This was intended as a cheap introduction to rallying, as the cars all had identical 1.3 L race-prepared engines. The UK series ran between 1995 and 1999. This model is still used in club and national rallies. In France , the 1.3 L model was used as the basis for a circuit racing one-make cup for celebrity drivers, the Nissan Stars Cup. In Portugal, the Micra spawned a one-make trophy alongside the National Rally Championship for Beginners.

Both K10 and K11 models are very popular choices for beginner autograss but due to K10s getting rarer, K11s are more commonly used now In 2005 a K11 model nicknamed Little Bandit, was built with a tuned SR20DET, producing approximately 400 bhp, which competed at several motorsport events. In the late 1990s, a K11 was adapted into a VQ30 mid-engined 4WD configuration to race in the Trophée Andros, the French ice racing series. Drivers who raced this car include Érik Comas, Philippe Gache, Stéphane Peterhansel and Emmanuel Collard. Nissan sponsors a one-make series in Japan called the March Cup, which has been running since the introduction of the K10. Usually a JGTC support race, it is held in two separate five-round championships called West Japan Series and East Japan Series, and a ladies series running simultaneously. At the end of the season, the best performing cars from both sides meet up for the Champions Cup final at the end the season. Starting in 2015, Nissan Canada will sponsor the Nissan Micra Cup. It will consists of 10 races across 5 weekends in Quebec . Each racing weekend will include a 30-minute trial, a 30-minute qualifying session and two 30-minute races.

MAX LOAD - Have you ever tried to buy a decent roof rack for a two door Micra? We did. We went to Halfords and when that did not give us what we wanted, we tried Toolstation and various other DIY stores. The problem was that even if you were prepared to shell out up to £174, the method of attachment of  the roof-racks we saw was far from satisfactory if carrying a heavy load. As you can see we solved this problem by making our own mounting brackets in high strength steel . Well, that is all but the aluminium cross-bars, that we finally bought from Lidl for a whopping £29. We made our own roof mounts that fit into the channel and bolt through a ribbed channel that is extremely strong, via a rubber gasket to help seat the mountings and seal against water ingress. The point here is that this roof-rack is very sturdy, making this reliable super eco-mini a very useful tool for a Heritage Trust that is always looking to save a few bob. 

MAX LOAD - The alloy cross bars are the weakest link, being rated at just 90Kg (198 lbs). Other steel bars (G3) are rated at just 50kg (110 lbs) - incredible - shouldn't that be the other way around! Another tip for you when carrying loads on a roof rack, is to empty the vehicle of all rubbish. You can take out the spare wheel and remove wheel trims (if you have them) which affect handing detrimentally. It's only a temporary measure to reduce the weight of the car. Better still, if you car is newer, fit alloys . You'll save petrol in the long run. But only go to this expense if the car is relatively new.

G3 - Aerodynamic Steel Roof Rack to fit Nissan Micra (K11) 1992 - 2003. This Roof Rack system contains everything you need to fit a set of roof bars to your car. The aerodynamic oval section roof bars are suitable for all Roof Rack accessories including Roof Boxes, Bike Carriers, Surfboard / Canoe / Kayak carriers, Ladder clamps, etc. Their aerodynamic profile also helps to minimize wind noise and reduces aerodynamic drag. The load carrying capacity is rated at 50Kg and price is around £80 with free delivery. The roof bars have a tough, hard wearing black plastic coating and the fitting kits are treated with anti-corrosion thermo-setting powders to protect against harsh weather conditions and should provide years of trouble free service.  This kit contains: • 1 x Exact fit kit for your Nissan Micra (K11) 1992 - 2003 • 1 x Footpack kit • 2 x Strengthened Steel Roof Bars • 4 x Locks & Keys • 1 x Allen Key - No other tools are required.

MONTE BLANC - Bar extension kit for 2 door cars, 3 including the hatchback. The steel clamping bars hook under the roof where the doors open. The extension kit takes the load backwards to a second cross-bar which has roof pads, but is not fixed. The roof pads at the rear spread the load. Halfords stock this kit, but it is in the region of £170 - so shop around.

DAILY MAIL FEB 2012 - With two large settees balanced precariously on top of his little Nissan, it was hardly surprising that this driver was keeping his speed down. The car did not even have a roof rack and the furniture was secured with a few pieces of string – so ineffectually that the passenger had his left hand out of the window trying to keep it in place. The bizarre journey happened on Sunday afternoon on two dual carriageways near Exeter – the Devon Expressway and the A30.  Another motorist, who took this picture, is quoted as saying: 'The car was only doing around 30mph. I don't think they could risk going any faster because the settees would have fallen off. 'It was like watching something out of a Third World country where everything is packed on the roof. 'There was no roof rack, just a sheet protecting the car roof from being scratched. It was ridiculously dangerous. 'They were on very busy 70mph roads and they would have caused a potentially lethal crash if those sofas had slipped off the roof into the carriageways.' The head of Devon and Cornwall police's traffic department, Inspector Richard Pryce, is quoted as saying: 'Drivers who decide to use entirely unsuitable vehicles to carry large loads present a danger to other road users. 'The load may be tied on to the vehicle but the vehicle itself is entirely inappropriate for carrying such large pieces of furniture. 'We will be making contact with the driver of this vehicle.'

JUNGLE DRUMS - If you are going to carry anything on the roof of your car, be sure that you have a roof rack that is man enough for the job. The Micra above was traversing a hill over rough grass in the pictures above. Where you could be forgive for thinking that this super mini was on safari in Africa, in fact these pictures were taken in Sussex, England on a summer day in July, when the sun was low in the sky.

Safari High Roof Rack and Ladder

• Add to quote

Stainless roof rack and rear-door ladder for high roof Safari. Also comes with a large bar for the front that originally had lights on it, but may also have other uses. See photos. Includes gutter mounting brackets for the six legs under the roof rack, and the two mounts for the ladder. Prefer to sell as a package, but may sell the ladder and roof rack separately if I have people who want them separately at the same time. $1000 OBO.  

Attachments

I need to sell this, so make me an offer! Anything reasonable considered.  

I like but I am on the east coast......  

shipping I could look into shipping costs, it doesn't weigh much. The legs could come off to fit better into a package.  

I already have a roof rack, but I'd buy the ladder off you. You travel down to Victoria often?  

Thanks Kobbero, that may well be possible if I can find someone wants the rack........as per my original post. So, if anyone just wants the rack...................please make and offer.  

I may be able to deliver to certain locations in the Lower Mainland or southern interior BC, if a buyer is not in a hurry.  

I suppose this has already been sold

ARB Roof Racks & Roof Bars

A roof rack is a valuable and versatile accessory for many touring vehicles, and without one some trips would just not be possible.

It’s the obvious place for lightweight, bulky items that are difficult to fit in the cabin of the vehicle. And with additional accessories now available, such as waterproof bags, you don’t have to worry about your gear being exposed to the elements while travelling.

ARB offers a range of different roof rack configurations, in both steel and aluminium to provide additional storage space. Additionally, ARB also offers Thule and Rhino roof bars and accessories for a wide range of vehicles.

Roof rack options available for your vehicle can be found below.

Deluxe Roof Racks

Engineered to support the full rated load capacity of your Patrol, ARB Deluxe Roof Racks provide a convenient storage area for lightweight, bulky items. Manufactured for extreme off-road use, deluxe racks come in a range of sizes for vehicles with or without gutters.

Deluxe racks are available in either steel or aluminium and are supplied with stainless steel mounting hardware and variable height fitting kits to enable multi-vehicle fitment.

A number of optional extras are also available to further tailor the rack to your load carrying requirements.

Product Features

Aluminium Specific

An Amplimesh® alloy mesh floor comes standard on the Aluminium Series, which is used to ensure the optimum strength of each rack.

A combination of TIG and the acclaimed CMT (Cold Metal Transfer) revolutionary welding process is used to ensure optimum strength of each rack.

ARB’s alloy racks utilise quality aluminium, making them 40% lighter than ARB’s steel roof racks.

Steel Specific

Evenly spaced crossbars support the load, which is rated to carry up to 150kg with the additional upgrade option of a fully welded steel mesh floor.

MIG welding is used on the joins to ensure the optimum strength of each rack.

Secure Storage

Top rail sits well above rack floor to ensure a secure load and is constructed from tough 25mm tube while the bottom rail utilises 35mm tubing.

Superior Mandrel Bending

Rails are bent with a mandrel bender, ensuring consistency and even wall thickness across all sections.

Steel Support Channel

Full length, zinc annealed steel support channel with plastic protection strip to distribute load along the gutter and prevent vehicle damage.

Fitting Kit

Variable height fitting kits include stainless steel hardware and allow even greater flexibility for multi-vehicle applications.

Deflector Plate

Air deflector plate significantly reduces wind noise.

Adjustable Feet and Legs

Pressed steel feet and legs are height and width adjustable, allowing multi-vehicle installations.

Drainage Channel

Precision cut drainage channel, specifically designed to reduce build up of dirt and accumulation of moisture.

Touring Racks

Purpose designed to hold an ARB rooftop tent and still provide ample storage at the front of the rack, ARB touring racks are ideal for when a large amount of storage is required. Touring racks incorporate a flat mounting base to affix the tent at the rear of the rack and are manufactured from steel tubing to withstand extreme off-road use.

The ARB trade rack is perfect for carrying length items, such as timber or ladders. Open at both ends, the trade rack is manufactured from the same high grade tubular steel that our deluxe racks are made from, but provides increased flexibility for items less suited to a fully enclosed roof rack.

Note: Image shown for illustrative purposes only.

Thule Racks & Carriers

Engineered to outperform, Thule offers an extensive range of roof racks, roof boxes, bike carriers, water and winter sport racks that are easy to use, safe and secure.

Each Thule product is CityCrash® tested to perform above international ISO standards, delivering unrivalled levels of safety and durability with the perfect fit. Suitable for any adventure or trade application, Thule is the first choice for consumers in over 80 countries, worldwide.

For more information please visit www.thule.com/en-au

Rhino-Rack Roof Racks

Australian owned and operated, the Rhino-Rack range provides 4WDers and tradespeople with a variety of load carrying options.

Built using premium quality materials, Rhino-Rack products are available to suit both guttered and gutterless 2WD and 4WD vehicles. The legs employ UV stabilised, glass-reinforced nylon, while the crossbars are made from extruded structural aluminium. Ideal for all conditions, these products undergo rigorous testing, ensuring they excel when fitted to your vehicle.

2022 Nissan Patrol Super Safari elevates off-road experiences in the Middle East

March 14, 2022

Dubai, UAE – Building on the success of the legendary Patrol Super Safari, Nissan announces aesthetic and technological upgrades for the 2022 model to cater to the evolving needs of buyers in the region. Conquering the harshest of terrain for almost seventy years, the Patrol has built a legacy in the Middle East, composed of a deep-rooted heritage, power, and superior off-road capability.

The rugged appeal of the Patrol Super Safari is available with a choice of three bold exterior colours – black, white, or gold – with a unique choice of grey or gold accents across the roof, bumpers, wheel arches, and spare tyre cover for drivers to create a combination of their choice. The striking `Super Safari' decal along the side of the car is complemented by a bold set of 17-inch diamond cut alloy wheels that contribute to the SUV's head-turning presence.

Inside, drivers can opt to have the cabin with PVC, woven fabric, or tan leather seats, with the latter adding a unique touch through a special Super Safari emboss. In addition to 2 DIN display audio system with smartphone integration through Apple CarPlay, drivers also benefit from a newly installed wireless charger for added comfort and convenience.

Thierry Sabbagh, Managing Director, Nissan Middle East said: "The region's sustained love and demand for the Patrol Super Safari is reflective of the deep-rooted heritage of this all-terrain vehicle with the people of the Middle East and its compatibility with the deserts of the Arabian Peninsula. The 2022 model retains the Super Safari's off-road prowess, offering customers in the Middle East value and convenience through the integration of innovative design and technological elements."

Thrilling performance is provided by a 4.8-liter in-line six-cylinder engine that produces 280 horsepower and 451 Nm of torque. Equipped with VTC and NICS, in addition to a 5-speed automatic or manual transmission, the Patrol Super Safari offers exceptional off-road performance and impressive top speed on the highway. A straight-line drive transfer and rear differential lock further the Patrol's performance and allow it to explore places where other SUVs don't dare to go.

Built for adventure, the Patrol Super Safari's higher angle of stability, improved gradeability, and the larger approach, departure, and ramp-clearance angles, are all furthered by a heavy-duty coil spring suspension, incorporating telescopic shock absorbers and torsion bar, for confident handling on all terrain.

In addition to electronically controlled power steering that ensures effortless control at low speeds and firm handling at high speeds, the Patrol Super Safari is equipped with a host of Nissan Intelligent Mobility features for a safer and more connected driving experience. This includes cruise control, a tire pressure monitoring system, ABS, dual-front SRS airbags, and Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) that prevents understeer and oversteer by reducing engine speed and applying the brakes individually on specific wheels when entering or exiting a corner.

The 2022 Patrol Super Safari is now available at Nissan's partner network across the Middle East including, Al Masaood Automobiles in Abu Dhabi, YK AlMoayyed & Sons in Bahrain, Arabian Automobiles Co. in Dubai, Anwar Babel Co. in Iraq, Bustami & Saheb Co. in Jordan, Abdulmohsen Abdulaziz Al Babtain in Kuwait, Rasamny-Younis Motor Company (RYMCO) in Lebanon, Suhail Bahwan Automobiles in Oman, Saleh Al Hamad Al Mana Co. in Qatar, and Tehama Trading Co. in Yemen.

Safari style roof rack

Does anyone on here have a safari style basket roof rack? I would like to get one for my titan kind of like this: Garvin Wilderness Sport Rack for 1991-2002 Jeep Cherokee(Factory Rack Mount) I really can't find any company that manufactures them for the titan though. Anyone find differently? Thanks!  

Subscribed. Those things are sweet. I hope you find one  

check out offroad unlimited  

John Harden said: Its a Defender roof rack. You can buy it from 4X4Parts.com. $600 or so if memory serves, plus the high lift and shovel/axe mounting brackets..... Regards, John Click to expand...

Call Nick at Offroad Unlimited...(1-888-365-0244) and they have the defender roof rack and mounting brackets for less than $520 or around there...I'm ordering mine soon =):redblob"  

thats a bad mutha shut yo mouf!  

For sure John's is a memorable rig, and it's the one that popped into my head right off as well. I don't recall seeing many, if any, others with an overhead basket that wasn't part of a whole bed rack system.  

Glad you guys like the setup. Its not for the faint of heart as you have to drill twelve, 1/2" holes in the roof of your truck to install it. Its been up there for a couple of years now with zero problems. Still water tight and working just fine. Regards, John  

I would have a heart attack drilling holes in my roof. Your setup is sick dude  

I have been looking for on for a while now and i am liking this rack alot.  

man JOhn Im also a fan of your T....I guess you still roam the forum since anytime your truck pict is post it, you pop out and answer any questions.... Do you have any more pictures of your expedition and offroad trips.... you and yellomantis use to post the best offroad trips.... Sorry for the hijack... back to topic, I also want to mount a roof rack but want to get it install on my bed cover instead....  

Have ya got any pics of the bed setup? I would love to see how you set it up  

I'll try to take some. I never bothered during the installaton. At least I don't think I did. I'll look to see what I have. EDIT: Here's some pics. The tray comes out just far enough so that I can open the lid on the fridge without having to retract the rolling bed cover. That last pic is looking up towards the front of the bed, drivers side. You can see that the Odyssey battery is strapped (and bolted) down to the plywood platform. I drilled holes in the bed wall and installed thick grommets to run the welding cable through. Hope this makes sense. Regards, John  

Attachments

Couple more pics. I think these show the tray holder and battery a bit better. Battery is tucked up under the Retrax cover canister. Battery has a strap around it and the strap is bolted to the plywood with brackets. Brackets on each side help stop side to side movement and the 2" thick foam you see wedged in there is just insurance in case I get in an accident and the battery is thrown forward. It'd suck to have it make contact with the bed and arc itself into a nice fire. Regards, John  

^^^poster boy for BADASS :rockon  

Your truck is f'n wicked John!:redblob" Good Job.
