Overlanding Power Setup Complete

[Biggy]

Finished up this project today and I'm happy how it turned out. I have a second level built that covers from the driver rear door to the battery so I can still load some gear and always access the fridge. Just waited for it to warm up so I can paint it. This will power my fridge , diesel heater , bed power, and a 12v plug / usbc ports in the rear cab. The inverter allows me to bring some items for my wife I previously could not.

Renogy 40 DC -DC charger
200 Ah self heating battery
ICECO APL35
2000 watt inverter
Platform is 3/4 maple ply.

Looks good. What distribution block is that? With the blue and yellow connectors.

I want those molle style seat back pieces. My 2024 doesn't have them. I haven't been able to find them anywhere. Any idea on if they are a swappable part or would I need to swap the whole seat?

I just went with these. Found on Amazon and probably way less expensive. They’re holding up well.

I have no idea. Sorry.

Very nice, my only thought would be to have it all mounted under the board for more storage on top of the board.

Very neat looking.......
Looks like a giant battery, that should serv you well!

I understand what your saying but I found the best way to secure the platform was to use the existing seat mounting bolts which means it needs to be raised. . The platform is raised about 6" and is open ended. The allows me to store tools, recovery gear, jack, etc underneath. The second level sits about 2" above the battery so I do have a fair bit of room for gear on top just not large storage boxes.

Nice! Do you have a link?

Nice and clean setup. I agree with other poster about finding a way to reclaim some space for gear. Maybe you can add a platform on top of this one. You're going to want more space for items you really don't want in the back.

Thanks. As I mentioned before in a couple posts , gear can be stored under the platform and I have a second level built, I'm just waited for it to warm up so I can paint it. Cheers.

Sorry, missed your last sentence that did state that. Note to self: READ EVERYTHING BEFORE POSTING

Nice and clean setup. Could this have been mounted in a fan-vented box in the bed to keep your useable rear seat space open?

I suppose that could be done although you would need some very good airflow. If I had a cap I may have put it in the bed uncovered. I can count on one hand the number of times someone has sat back there in five years so removing the rear seats was not a big deal for me. I can store alot of gear on top of the second level I built. I'll have to snap a Pic or two and post it.
