I didn't like the turn signals that came with my Rocktek bumper so I removed them and added some Rigid A-Series. I also added some resistors to stop the hyper-flashing. They work pretty good! Picture below and link to video at the very bottom.

Now for the big error...
I decided to put one outlet on the top side of the center console near the rear window control switch.
Due to piss poor planning, the outlet body and wiring made contact here where the tab with the letter "P" is seen below the shifter
My solution was cut this tab...
Best Accessory
...Not picutured - ran CB Coax down driver's side door channels to rear for lift gate install with Diamond Antenna. Ran extra run of 4Gauge to the rear down the passenger's side door channels for future electrical projects at the rear.s
As with any project, I made a few errors - one significant that I will show later. All in all, I'm happy though - especially for my first one.
I intend to get the Diamond Antenna mount and antenna installed today.
Blue Sea Ground Circuit built and installed in center console for good...
I had settled on the X2 Battery displayed below from Batteries Plus. It is essentially a rebranded Northstar Battery with the same specs as the Odyssey PC 1500DT, but is $30 cheaper and has two years more fully replacement warranty (5 years total replacement, no pro rata).
Anyway, I got home...
Metal fabricator made shelf and bracket. Stainless hardware used for fastening.

Good evening,
I just thought I'd post some shots from my electrical project, not because it is anything special, but in hopes it may help others with ideas. I hope you enjoy.
Okay, thanks. Don't spend too much time on it. I'd like to install the same system, just not exactly sure how to incorporate with my factory cargo slide tray. It would be pretty slick to be able to keep the factory cargo slide tray functional, sliding out from under the ARB twin drawers...
Any chance you guys have any more pictures of the drawer system installation. I have a Trail model with the factory slide out tray. Looking to either remove the factory slide out tray, or bolt ARB system directly to it. Any pictures, including clearance with rear seat backs would be great...
Inspiration
Thanks for the inspiration for upgrading my 5th Gen's electrical as well.

Thanks for visiting with me about your trailer on Sunday while leaving Gilmer (we were in the silver 5th Gen 4Runner). I'm sold on the system. Absolutely going to order one!
