I'd demand references first.....have you seen the welds on those navy ships?

Thankfully he only dealt with the things that went through the air, the floating part was left to profesisonals.
I've got space to weld it at my place. I've also got a 10,000 pound winch that would fit nicely in that ARB that I'd sell ya and help you install!
Great looking vehicle dude.

So the 2nd battery tray/management system is on its way...along with some other goodies from american toyota/equipt/slee...
I am looking to hard wire my fridge into the second battery...
So I don't have to keep bugging MoGas or Fergie...what size cable is anyone using to run from the battery to the rear of the vehicle...as in gauge cable...on mud it seems like 10g is the minimum...
I would like to run the cable when the carpets come out...put on a disconnect in the rear... so the fridge can plug into this...
Make sense...probably not...
Thanks

I would go heavier than that--probably 6 or so. I have 6 guage (I think, I'll have to check) running my inverter, compressor, and rear power ports. I ran the cable to a fuse block in the rear panel and wired everything from there. There is a chart around here somewhere that tells you the guage of wire needed based on the load and run(distance).

Just here...
I went even more than that. 4 gauge running from the battery to the fuse box in the rear and 2 gauge with a MEGA fuse from battery to battery. Wire, lugs, etc... is cheap when you know where to get it. Delcity has a ton of stuff at great prices, ships quick and its all quality (shameless plug for a favored supplier, sorry).

I was thinking 6 from the bit of reading I have been doing...and did you run duplex cable..., or ground it...
Did you run an inline fuse off the battery or just the fuse block in the back...and what size fuses? 30A seems plenty...
Thanks

Turns out it was 4 gauge. I ran an inline 60 amp fuse near the battery and then 30s for everything back at the fuse block. The inverter gets a direct feed though... I just ground everything there at the back.

Haven't had the time to put it in...maybe next weekend...need to run cable when the old comes out...
