I guess there's one last options, mount a second battery somewhere in the rear on an isolator and drive the inverter from that one. This is just more that I was hoping to bite off at the moment. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Actually I think this is the best option anyway. In my experience, I really need another battery and have been wanting to do a dual battery. There is some room under the back and with the Optima style battery it would be easy to re-locate a second battery back there and then come from it.
Of course this still requires running the heavy cable from front to back. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
How heavy are we really talking here? 4 gauge?
Regardless, I've seen this option mentioned (by you and others in past posts), but haven't run across any posts by people who've actually pulled it off.
I'd really like to do a dual battery setup primarily as a backup. The wrangler kit looks nice, but if something more customer like this can help solve the inverter mounting problem, maybe it's time to bite the bullet and try to do it.
So what ideas do you have for mounting the battery "in back?" Up under the bumper? Or interior? If the first, do you have any good ideas for a bracket for mounting it?
