Yeah that's the one I have. I saw you mention a custom Jeep top for the mounts but I can't seem to find it on your site?

For some reason, other mount manufacturers' put the bolt/nut location down on the side of the tray making it hard to get at if the space is cramped.

Thanks.

Sweet, I'll have to pick one of these up with the mushroom cloud top since I work with explosives

Guess I can just tack weld the nuts to the underside so I don't have to fool with them everytime? (that sounded horrible...)

Thanks for the order Josh.

It's been a really busy few weeks since we last posted. Thank you for your support and business.

We have some big and really exciting changes/additions coming to our company in the near future. Look out for some awesome products on the horizon.

SOME REASONS TO CHOOSE AN ARTEC BATTERY MOUNT:

Wow, a bunch of orders for battery mounts came in yesterday and all of them shipped. Thanks Jeepers.

Hey man i hav a Die Hard Platinum P-1. I tried to get the P-4 from the sears in my town but they were out. I think the P-1 is a group 34 just without the sideposts. Will it fit in your PC1500 mounts? IF so i will be ordering one of ur boxes with a custom lid by the end of next week...

The P-1 is a group 34 and you are right, it has no sideposts, but the terminals are also reversed in comparison to a normal group 34. Everything will work fine with our PC1500 battery mount. PM the design of the custom top you want. Thanks.

Here's another shot of the flame top powdercoated. Its been pretty popular lately. Get one of these designer tops for only an additional $7.95.

A bunch of orders came in over the weekend. Thanks. They all shipped yesterday.

Another thing to keep in mind about our product...If you need something custom we can usually make it happen very quickly. Just the other day someone needed 3/8" holes in their mounts instead of 1/4" and someone else wanted a custom vehicle logo in their mount top. All very quick for us to do since we have our own machinery in-house.

Personally verified that it works in TJ's and JK's. If your vehicle can fit any optima battery, this will fit.

I currently have 1 Diehard P4 34/78 with the dual posts. I'm planning to run dual batteries in the near future. Do you make a lid to accommodate 2 of these batteries since they have the side posts?

The P4 is a much larger battery than the 925s shown above so bottom to bottom wouldn't really work. We could set it up as either a back to back dual battery mount or side-by-side.

Here are examples from optima mounts.

Back to back

Side by side

Pricing would be roughly similiar to these optimas ~$69 for bare steel.

I don't have them made yet, but if you wanted the bare steel version, I could have it done by next week. The powdercoated version would be the next week probably (+$16).

Which would you prefer?

Thanks for replying. I'm going to need to take a look under my hood before I make a decision. When I'm ready, I'll send you a pm.

Sounds good. I'll be here.

For those of you who need a certain type of mount made, but we don't offer it normally, we can always make one for you. Just let us know what you want and for what battery it's for.

Here's the pictures of the NEW Odyssey PC1750 mount. These also work for the Sears Diehard Platinum P2 batteries as well which have been extremely popular lately.
