DC voltmeter / cigarette lighter swap
Hi all. I have been wanting to have a somewhat consistent view of my voltage so I swapped out the cigarette lighter for a Blue Sea voltmeter and relocated the lighter plug to the glove box.

Here's the finished product. If you'd like to see a walkthrough with more pictures, I have it listed on my personal thread...

Good work. I will check out your thread. I've discharged the battery accidently a couple of times. While camping in the back country this would be a good peace of mind.
