Has any one else got their set yet? I am trying to wait patiently. Took the top off the other day and would live to be able to put those on

I will contact them to see what's going on. Half of the orders were supposed to be shipped this past Monday, so maybe they are in transit.

If anyone else talks to them please post the latest info here.

They billed my Visa yesterday so my battery box should be on it's way. Now if I could just afford to buy 2 new batteries I'd be good to go. These mass buys are killin' my budget!

Not just the batteries, but the junk to hook them up together. Thats runs about $170, doesn't it?

WildChild basically started shipping out yesterday and will ship out each day until the orders are filled. Please be patient with them, they are a 3 man operation so I'm sure our order has been a challange for them.

I'd like to hear some ideas about hooking the dual batteries up. Thanks.

go down the page about 3/4 way

This is the only way I know to hook them up. And I hope theres good instructions.

They are re-selling the basic kit from Wrangler NW . They have a FULL kit for duals made specific for the EB (all the stuff WH4x4 says isn't included), but the 2nd battery is to be mounted on the drivers side. Which I can't. After calling them (they are VERY knowledgable and very good to deal with) I got a kit from them that had ALL necessary parts made just for me. Solenoid, wire harness, AND battery cables (i will be using my WC tray). As for easy hook up, I can't see it being any easier. All my stuff is PRE-terminated (except the hot switch that goes to the fuse panel, but comes with a piece that just slides in over the fuse) and wires are labelled AND there are printed instructions. I have not installed mine (waiting for tray), but have mocked it up and it couldn't be any simpler.

Only downside i have heard is on the tray. and some people have problems with it's size and dimensions. as in 2 OPTIMAS will fit, but a combo of optima and not or two nots may not fit...


*oh yeah, I ended up at Wrangler NW AFTER recommendations from other users here, so that made me feel good, that i wasn't the guinea pig...;)

Wrangler NW Used my EB for about a week designing their dual battery kit, Mine has the battery mounted on the drivers side.

I guess I need to call them back. I only got a call when the mass buy started. I was put on a waiting list because I didn't need them right away. I never got a call back. I guess its safe to say they lost my #, and I need to call back to make sure things are ok.
