I went with the rugged ridge kit......i Had heard too many stories of guys waiting for monts for there product and i wanted it done.....the Rugged ridge tray works great but i am willing to bet that the benchmark fits a bit better....


i used a pair of deka 9A31m batteries and they are a tight fit in the tray but work fine.....i would say one of the best mods i have made....

i dont use an isolator since i just wanted more capacity for my big stereo....

Personally, I've been very happy with my BenchMark setup.

BenchMark responded to me fairly promptly and shipped my kit out reasonably quick, like maybe within a week. I did call to ask what was up and when it would be shipping.

Did you receive your kit or at least an update?

I run a few auxiliary lights and radio without the engine running quite a bit. I don't want to drain the main battery down and get stuck somewhere.
