Camels on mine...

 

[ppearman]

Installed a lithium battery, the Redarc Bcdc alpha 50 on the more 4x4 brackets.

The brackets are great, works super well. I still have to install my positive bus bar with fuses (delayed in mail) but otherwise it's done.

Did you start out with the OEM dual battery system?

That looks great. I have been trying to order the MORE4x4 brackets for 3 months so far, and the guys in AUS say they are too busy. When did you order yours?

I did not. Mine came without the dual system.

I ordered mine in late August or early September.
My friend who lives in Melbourne ordered them to his address and whe I came to Melbourne in late September I picked it up from him and carried it home.
no word on shortages then.

The quality of that plate is outstanding. The curved piece in the rear replaced a plastic cable holder piece that Ineos comes with. And if you decide to go for the Garmin power switch to control circuits then I think this rear part would be Ideal to mount that to.

I drilled two holes and added a negative bus bar in front of the led's on the redarc to make wiring easy. This way all wires positive and negative goes to where the fuses for the second battery is located. Cleaner accessory wiring.

Also for chassis ground for the redarc, second battery and busbar: Even if you don't have a second battery Ineos has a stud with a nut for a negative chassis ground for the second battery where you install the second battery which makes it super easy to wire in the negative polarity with a nice short wire.

if you look at dr rocks guide page 14 you'll find the pre fuse box interior.
Link to the guide: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tHF4zR33OClUZ5_meLRXotzbrY_vd5sv/view?usp=sharing

I took power to the redarc from fuse position 4 the fuse for the stock inverter. I don't have the inverter but it had a 60A fuse mounted on it. And that fuse is always on + Dr roks guide indicate it's wired directly to the starter battery. Redarc can't use more than 50A so that seemed like a great way to tie the redarc to the starter battery. It's close to the redarc so it lets me have a short cable run.

To remove any downstream confusion I put a dymo label behind clear shrink wrap and labeled that to the positive wire that I connected to the pre fuse box wire. I also installed all secondary battery wiring inside abrasive sheathing so it would be obvious what is stock and what is aftermarket.

The battery bracket is perfect for a group 27 size battery. I found a deal on something called powerqueen battery that can be found on Amazon. Only a bit over $100 for a 125Ah battery with built-in Bluetooth BMS. I think it's back to being closer to $200. I can fit a $325aH battery in there if I trimmed the plastic kick plate but I didn't want to do that. This should be good for me for now.

I put some dynomat on between the bracket and the battery to make sure it wouldn't rattle or move.

I installed a 60A fuse on the battery. I may change that to a 100A fuse later but for now I think 60A is going to do all I want the battery to do for me.

I found the right fuses for the bracket. Getting them on Tuesday. I'll update the post then with where to find those.

@LabRat - was this what you were speaking about yesterday?

That's them

Added MIckey Thompson Baja Boss 285/70 R17’s. supplier forgot to send the 5th for the spare so have to wait till Monday to get that done and then install my Buzz Overland Spare wheel storage box.

 

[parb]

Installed the agile stainless steel grab handle. I use a tablet for navigation and I needed a solid base to mount it to, I've broken more than one mount going over ledges. This is super sturdy!

 

[parb]

I have a proper subwoofer. I've had it in my trunk and it's been working out.
On the prime day special I got this fridge for cheap. But now I used up a lot of floorspace in my trunk... So I decided to see if it would work to ratchet strap the sub to the bison gear interior shelf.

So far it seems pretty good, it's solid and no rattle. I'll find like this for a bit and see how it goes.

Cool. I put my 12” under a little shelf I built. I have SW + one front runner storage back or I can ditch the sub and put 3 storage bags under the shelf if I need more space. Some low end makes all the difference.

 

[parb]

If I build a shelf around the fridge then I'll probably just put it in top of that.
So far so good.. thanks for the idea!

I'm trying to keep the area next to the fridge free so I can use it as a sleeping area.

How do you like the drawer fridge?

How do like that dash cover? Stay in place well or do you have to put sticky stuff all over the dash to hold it down?

To stay in the spirit of the thread: I put a Grenadier Works handle on the big rear door and a couple of license plate light blockers on the bumper. And printed a tray to give the middle console a second level of storage.

 

[parb]

I find it works well. I don't use any of the dual sided tape that came with it.
I have a little silicone tray behind the display (cheap on Amazon) and it seems to anchor it well.

How do you like the drawer fridge?

So far it seems okay. Gets cool pretty quickly. Price was definitely right, got it for a decent price on the Amazon prime day.

Hard to tell if it will last. It's pretty small but that is what I was going for.
It's sized right for Regular coke cans, out them down in the fridge standing up.
A water bottle has to be placed laying down on the side.
But for a day trip or even 2-3 days this is plenty of space for me.

What side steps are they. Look better than my INEOS ones and seem as though they operate as rock sliders too, including hole for high lift jack?

Let me know what happens, I got a report of poor service about MORE4X4 yesterday. One is not a pattern, but a couple is.

I have taken links down before of companies not providing good service.
