coming together
Here you can see final power and plugs were run for the seats
red wires in the console are from the under hood power dist box fuses we just added. 40amp for seat heat, 40 amp for seat power, and a 30 amp for accessory power to power the Lowrance, camera system, and more
the seats got the other end of the plugs, so they can easily be removed
speaking of wiring time to install the head unit, some switches, radio bezel and heated seats
radio is a double din, the usual trimming is required. I made it strong with some metal brackets to hold it tight to the center bezel
It fit! Now time to convert one of the 12V sockets to usb ports with voltage gage
Now I know where I want to put the ARB compressor and locker switches, as well as the driving light switch and a couple more USB ports
inside the stock Ranger lower pocket/cubby thing it is the perfect spot!
So I had to modify it to suit, again with ABS plastic
So I am adding two USB ports here because one is for stereo memory / access and the other is for the camera system memory/storage
I purchased a two USB Port receptacle on Amazon. It came with a nice solid 90 degree bracket/mount. I used it as the support for my plastic switch face. I used some scrap plastic screwed to the sides to make it so the switch faceplate slides in, allowing this to be taken apart and modified easily.
I cut the hole for two switches on both sides and used a blank I had in the shop, easy to add another switch if needed later
