Forgot to add the new gear I installed: Redarc BCDC Alpha50 12V 50A DC Battery Charger Victron BMV-700H Battery Monitor Victron Energy 500VA 12-Volt 120V AC Pure Sine Wave Inverter Tesota Overland APDS 75A 2 x 100Ah LiFePO4 batteries (generic) About the only major feature I lost with moving...

Seems I can't resist the urge to keep pulling this all apart. The battery was moved up on top of the drawer and electrical system rebuilt again with new equipment. I could have made the wiring much more compact but wanted to show it off a bit. The divider now extends up another 5" and is in line...

Went for a drive last night to check for squeaks and rattles. The sunset was amazing and the ride was dead quiet, super happy with how this turned out so far. Got the fridge back in this morning. Very tight fit but its easy to loosen the tie downs and move the fridge if I need access.

Got Starlink set up in bypass mode with the Peplink MAX BR1 router. The app still works but took some configuration on the router to set up. Thankfully this post had everything I needed to configure a static route: MAX BR1 MK2 + Starlink App Sleep Schedule not available - #2 by Jonathan_Pitts -...

Added a panel for the battery disconnect, this is permanently mounted to the platform and drawers. Battery box, no hinges or other hardware yet. Seems to stay in place pretty good on its own but will get something added before taking it off road. Just about done with this project for...

DC-DC, inverter, aux battery and solar panels are wired in! First charge on the new build, bringing in just over 15A from the panels

Redarc Manager 30, inverter, and battery are installed. Next up is to build an enclosure and finish the wiring...

Mounted two 75W USB chargers and my Dishy Dualie power supply on the side of the drawers. I'm going to fabricate a panel to put over this area once I get the battery system back up and running again. I ended up using a small piece of plywood to get it all on there, is it just me or does nothing...

4 x 20L water cans fit in here pretty easily, though not sure the final orientation I'll end up going with. In any case I've got lots of flexibility to move things around as needed later. Water quick connect and valve. I've got a bottle filler, hand/dish wash extension and a sprayer I can use...

Wire runs were getting a little out of hand, figured I should label this stuff before I get too much further Red/white LED lights. I've had these for a few years but haven't bothered hard wiring them in before now. New drawer system Half bolted in, will need to make a plate for the...

Made some brackets and got my radios back under the driver seat.

Finally made some progress on this... Ran power for my ham and GMRS radios under the driver seat. I still need to make a bracket and actually mount up the radios once my new GMRS rig is delivered this week. Peplink MAX BR1 Pro 5G and weBoost mounted under the platform Final installation...

[SOLD] C4 Fab Spare Battery Tray - Passenger Side Bought a couple years ago, painted but never installed it. Asking $120 shipped

Got busy with other stuff but finally made a bit of progress. Front support all bolted in. I'm recycling some bits from my previous Dobinsons drawer system for the platform supports. Rear support brackets. I think these were originally half of a RTT mounting bracket, easily modified with a...

Finally got around to drawing up some brackets and sending them out for fabrication today. I'll have four of these, one for each of the four bolts where the front of the rear seat brackets normally sit. The platform will rest on top and bolt into these for support and hopefully prevent things...
