Is this extra battery tray factory?

[Gaspaszr]

Running out of Cov. 19 stuff to do. Have 06 Lj, 2nd owner and am doing maintenance on it and wondered if this is second battery tray. Original owner invoice reflects all stock with no mention of this item. Plus, these light guards (tail lights and headlights). P.O. purchased Lj new from dealer and claims no “dyi add ones”. What do you think? See, I’m f-ing. Bored!

Light guards are add ons.

That tray is for an ABS module that your jeep didn't come with.

Yes, that’s where the ABS module goes on TJs with the ABS option.

Definitely not a fan of the light guards, but it’s your Jeep, not mine

HA! Beat you!

That plate is typically the mount for cruise control and ABS components.

Really? Not on my 2005 Rubicon with factory cruise. It was mounted on top of the drivers shock tower.

Damm! That was quick. Guess there are more bored tj owners out there. Maybe we should start a thread on how to play “Bridge”,

Yep, abs mount. those rear tail light guards may protect the lights but they like to dent the tub, I know from personal experience. They came stock on Tomb Raider Rubicon. I’d rather replace lights than fix sheet metal

Not only that but aftermarket tail light guards too often cause grounding issues for the tail lights. There is no ground wire for the tail lights, they ground through the mechanical connection to the tub.

If there’s a ground issue with “lights guards”, I will remove , assuming I will need an alternative. What is a recommended replacement?

I finally removed my tail light guards after years of telling myself they were coming off. I contacted a rock with mine and instead of breaking the housing, it dented the tub.
