What is better than the stock hold down ? Have Red Top Optima,the stock "Z" shaped bar works but really could be better,any aftermarket clamps that work on our XJ setup?

Just add some fiberglass 1"x1" angle to each side of the stock bracket.couldn't be easier or better!
 
the stock one's problem isnt the top part, it's the bottom plastic part that'll break, everytime. someone should really make a bolt in, drop-in option.
 
Mean Green used to sell a hold-down bar that can be used with the stock threaded rods - bought one from Quadratec a couple years ago when I went Yellow-Top - that conformed to the Optima's contours.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it's still available.
 
RuffStuff makes Optima battery boxes (and they are a NAXJA sponsor) but they are not bolt in either. rocknxj installed one in his, pretty sure he did a write-up on it too.

Thanks for the reply,s.Q-tech still has the MeanGreen hold down listed for $24.99.

I may just take some measurements and have one made .

Son of a gun - seems I didn't search too well.

I stand corrected.
