    I disassembled my battery tray and the bracing bars below the tray. Now, the bars all look the same. Does anyone have any pictures of the battery tray, and the bars below the tray for a CJ5. I have a 79 but im sure other years will have the same tray.

    I am attempting to put it all back in now taht I have removed the rust and painted them.

    It was just the photo I needed as well. Took mine apart and could not remember where the short bar attached to the tray.

    There are other braces that go from the firewall to the fender...they don't show in the pic above because those are fenderwell headers and look like they go through the area that the brace would normally be.

    The brace actually goes on the inside lip of the fender. in other words you would have to take the brace loose, install the fender and then reattach the brace. maybe in the pic above he has a tilt front end and that is why it is attached like it is.

    Exactly.

    There are at least 3 braces. Two from the tray back to the firewall to support the battery. One of those bolts at the same point where the fender bolts to the firewall, the other bolts about where the toe board brace is located. The third goes from the location at the board brace to the fender closer to the frame to stiffen it up.

    Here is an image of the dual tray housing two Optima yellow tops with cockpit control.
    Does have a brace on bottom.
