2012 jk battery tray
So my 2010 jk got totaled when a powerline/tree fell on it a couple weeks ago... So I went and got a 2012 and was wondering since I have a benchmark dual battery tray with isolator if it will fit in my 2012?
Thanks
Thanks

I don't know for sure, but I have serious doubts. The 2012 has a completely redesigned engine, the 3.6L Pentastar, that fills up the area under the hood much more than the 3.8L did in the '11's and earlier models.
You can take some measurements and see, but I'd be shocked if it fit. Almost all manufacturers who made stuff for the engine bay of the JK and JKU have had to scramble to redesign for the '12's.

I was just looking under the hood of a 2012 today, and I doubt it, too. You might be able to modify it yourself to get it to fit since you already have it. I'd think it would be worth a try at least. Of course you could just make your own tray, or just sell the whole thing - it probably wouldn't take anytime to sell it.
