mind to share where you purchased amber backlit rockers from?

 

[gunning1987]

looking pretty good man, you fit rear locker or front?

 

[mgermasi]

Custom Rockers for the switches
Rear E-Locker

 

[mgermasi]

Wow I had my rear spring reset and install a third spring twice as thick as the OME 400Kg, the car came up 75 when fully loaded (approx 3.3T), can't be any happier!
No I'm waiting for them to sag a bit then I'll level the front accordingly.
Still not sure what mods to do under the bonnet though, I'm not missing power but fuel economy is shocking!

 

[gunning1987]

How and where did you fit your inverter?

 

[mgermasi]

I gunning I'll post some pictures shortly.
Basically I took the power directly from the second batteries, went to a circuit breaker, to a relay then I installed an anderson plug so I can remove the inverter when I don't need it and switch the line off (I keep it inside on of the drawers).
I put some Velcro underneath the inverter so I can stick it to the carpet anywhere in the tub but I'll have it next to the dropslide - between the dropslide and the canopy facing backward so the power cord (240V) can go through the gap between rear canopy window/tailgate/canopy.

Cheers

Impressive, i bet expensive but very impressive. Well done, very tidy

 

[mgermasi]

Nah, cheaper than turn the car into a campfire,LOL!

 

[gunning1987]

sounds like the plan look forward to seeing the setup.

 

[mgermasi]

Here it is:
The Circuit breaker and the Relay and the cable running along the front window.

 

[mgermasi]

This where I turn on the relay

 

[mgermasi]

The Anderson plug

 

[mgermasi]

The final result.
The Inverter lives in the storage compartment underneath when not in use.

 

[mgermasi]

Now camping in the snow with electric blankets, hahahaha!

Hey mate, love this build thread, great job.
2 questions,
where abouts did you buy the 150amp circuit breakers and what size cable did you use for the batteries to get to the tub ? cheers
