Your oil quarts are in there backward. ;)

So the action packer is under what looks like a tool case? What holds that down?
Also, those chinese coolers the crosby guys run can be tied down but still down opened. Price is right. Otherwise just pick up a yeti roadie or appropriate knock off.
Thanks. :gigem:
Yes, http://www.swagoffroad.com/8-Gallon-...Bins_p_35.html
There are (8) 1/4" bolts that hold the action packer mount to the floor. I am going to get a 1" cambuckle strap, or something similar, to hold the craftsman tool case to the rails on the actionpacker. Haven't really thought about it yet.
Thanks for the heads up on the cooler.
I think your quart bottles are in backwards
I've never been happy with the stock battery tray. It was bulky, ugly, and required a bungee cord to keep the battery in place. I replaced it with a generic 11" racing tray from A&M Manufacturing. I also took the time to patch all the holes in the firewall.

Did you do any kind of reinforcement on the other side of the firewall?
I've been looking at battery trays since mine is pretty crispy. I was leaning towards the Tomken dual tray, as CJ specific options have really dried up in the past few years..
Two of the four bolts use the stock mounting locations for the battery tray which have a reinforcement plate on the inside of the firewall. The other two bolts I welded fender washers to the engine side of the firewall to double the wall thickness of the firewall and used fender washers on the inside of the firewall as well. You can see one in the photo above. It is the upper mount on the left-hand (pass.) side.
It was nearly impossible to find a battery tray for a regular battery. All the jeep fab battery trays are specific to Optima or Olympus batteries and I don't run one of those.
This is the one I used. The battery hold down is janky (I'll make my own) and I had to modify the mounting points but it was still a good starting point, especially for the price.

Cool, looks good man! And yeah, like I said the CJ market is pretty bare bones on battery trays these days...
And of course this is my CJ currently so it'll be a while before I need a battery tray. haha

is a yj not the same as a cj battery tray? maybe the fender support brace is a different length, but the firewall is basically the same piece
Most battery trays I see are listed as 76-90 CJ/YJ.
i know the floorpan got big changes around 91, didnt think the firewall was that different
where did you get your cowl protection?
I think it was these guys......http://moab-4x4.com/.......but it looks like their web-store is down.
Wheeled in Bridgeport on Saturday. Got a bit tippy at one point.

No real damage done but it was close to being a really bad roll.
