Went to go replace the plastic battery tray with a metal one today, and can't for the life of me get the temperature sensor that sits under the battery unplugged, anyone have any idea how to get it out without breaking the plug?

 

All those connectors are a two part clip. One side will have a little lever where you put your thumb. that will most likely lift the other end to release it from a little plastic nub. Sometimes the little plastic piece breaks. If that happens you may need to slide a little screwdriver in there to lift it up.

 

I finally got her out, it turned out to just involve pressing down on the large clip that faces away from the bulkhead while pulling on the side going towards the sensor. There are two nubs that had me confused, one facing up while the plug was in the bracket, one facing down. Those did nothing.

 

what did you replace the stock plastic tray with, metal? brand?
JCR?

 

I put a Dirtbound Offroad tray ( http://www.dirtboundoffroad.com/bolt...tery-tray.html ) in there, it was a good bit cheaper than the JCR. Hardest part was drilling through the old bolts that had all sheared off. Also the hold down bolts they provided(by bolt I mean threaded rod) were way too long, had to cut them down a few inches to keep them from making contact with the hood. Thing seems super sturdy though.

 

pics?

 

In retrospect I probably should've known the hold downs were too long.
I never got a picture of it secured in there, but that's the final position of it, it was slightly larger than the stock one.
It came with a different hold down bracket, but I had that green one lying around and wanted to use it instead.
