You're probably looking at that and asking.. "WTH?"
It will certainly be more in depth as I put it all together but this is a 12" x 12" x 4" weather proof electrical enclosure that will become the base camp for two BlueSea 12 circuit fuse boxes, almost 18 relays, a couple circuit breakers inside and the fascia will allow the mounting of a couple 12 volt plugs, extra switches, and an amp draw meter, and an emergency battery disconnect...
This will reside in the bed of the truck. Between this panel, the crank battery, the house batteries, and all the rewiring of aux features. I am hoping this piece will stand out a lot.
I've spoken a lot about some big changes for the bed work;
- Custom drawer w/locking
- ARB fridge slide out
- ARB on board air compressor
- Wall cavity for recovery gear with Fold up work table/First Aid kit
- AC/DC converter w/solar panel converter input
- Spare tire carrier battery storage
- Articulated re-wiring
I've been collecting a slew of parts as the entire bed is almost like a whole other separate project in its own in ways and really trying to put the time together to do whats needed. Right now I am waiting on a host of even more electrical components which truly in some ways have nickle and dime'd my wallet as if the wallet itself was used in skeet shooting [PULL!], a pair of flush mounted scene lights, the reworking of an aluminum under carriage storage box, costly Anderson plugs, and lets not even get into the cost of good wire.. I am really avoiding cutting any corners at all other than perhaps finding the best prices on specific components I prefer to use and that where the line draws in the sand.
As many have noticed, I try at least every week to add to this build page and showcase what I've done, and why, and be as informative as possible in my explanations and I have appreciated all who follow my build. I am sure to have plenty of material to work with and to show off. I am even considering doing some video work to assist with that which is proving to be even more of a headache as its time consuming not only in recording material but editing is a nightmare for me right now.
So thanks for keeping subbed and interested..!
