Ya I've seen that too or under the rear seat. I was just thinking about doing water crossings if it would be safe. I've had a foot of water inside my jeep

You could ceiling mount it. If you have a sound bar maybe it could be incorporated into that.?.
the jeeps.... THEJEEEEEEPSSSS!

The case might defeat the purpose of the heat sinks..
Sorry, didn't mean to dis.. and I don't suppose anyone would be running power tools or charging the laptop on the floor during a water crossing:snorkel:
--------------------------------
How about in the cubby hole passenger side rear? I'm planning to mount my ARB compressor, relay box, fuse panel, and now maybe inverter if there's room. Of course I'll have to cut the recessed portion of the plastic panel out for room and air circulation. I might build a cover with vent holes or slots from lexan or such.
I'll probably use urethane to stick a piece of 3/4" wood composite (the stuff commonly used for speaker boxes whose name escapes me right now - Home Depot has it) onto the inner rear fender panel. Going to look into using some 'nut-serts' to imbed in the composite so I can simply thread bolts to secure components and still be able to remove them if/when necessary. Of course, depending on how much room I have, I'll mount as high as possible for the eventual water crossing. The wire bundle can be run under the steel panel just below the rear window. I realize this entails the use of a lot of wire to reach switches but it's out of the way and pretty much secure. I had my relay box and fuse panel under the rear seat before I thought it through concerning water.. dang it.
When I get going on this I could do a write-up if there's any interest, and if I take the time for pics and details (not too good at that).
Or.. hmm.. I have 5 Pelican boxes just the right size to drop one down in the same spot, below the floor. Should hold the relay box and fuse panel. Just leave enough slack in wiring to pull the box out to check fuses.. hahaaha.. talk about full circle.. not that bad an idea. Trying to keep this going until the 'aha' mounting position is submitted.
Hahahaa.. neither of us took it wrong or said it wrong.. It's all good man!
Now I'm going to Google for water proof containers for my relay box and fuse panel so I might avoid extending all the wiring to the rear QP cubby. Then I'll have plenty of space for my ARB. No heat from the fuse/relay panels.
