Install the two battery's with the posts facing outward.
Connect the J bracket on both sides and mount the hold down bracket.Next install the smart isolator.
NOTE: The isolator has 3 wires, but the only one used is the black that goes to chassis ground.

Since I have a ton of accessory wires, I installed a power buss-bar. Buss-bars help keep the wires somewhat organized and away form the battery terminals where they can cause corrosion. These are available at various locations. I found mine at a boat supply house.
Reconnect the evap Purge solenoid. Note it should be mounted somewhat upright. I wire tied it to a wire bundle. The OEM bracket was removed with the battery tray.
Do a last check to verify that all connectors are connected and the wires are connected properly.
Here's a final pic of my install.
Conclusion
The dual battery project was a rewarding experience. I highly recommend this for anyone that has added accessories that require direct battery connectivity.
