Hi Guys,
I own a '97 Landcruiser Prado 3.0TD. I believe the UK versions (collorado) come with 2 batterys whereas mine just has the one on the offside. I would like to wire another in to assist with starting, particularly on cold mornings as mine sometimes strugles I'm guessing the battery tray and clamp for the nearside would be available from toyota but I'm not 100% sure on how to wire it in to the circuit? Is it just a case of earthing it to the body and then connecting the live to the other battery? or is it more complecated than that?
Any advice would be great!

Thanks,
Phil
