Well, I found some time this weekend to fabricate a battery tray. The metal in the spare tire well is EXTREMELY thin. I burnt through on 3 occasions and had to tack the holes shut. So, rather than try to run a bead, I had to tack and move, tack and move, etc. I couldn't get a good picture of it, but behind the tray, where it slopes up, I was able to run a 1 inch bead from each corner inward. It's very sturdy and not going anywhere
